Ultrasound and Surface Elastic Waves (Development Technology of Original Ultrasound System)

An experimental system for controlling chemical reactions using megahertz ultrasound.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology for controlling chemical reactions using ultrasound by utilizing the technology for controlling nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound (acoustic flow). This technology controls ultrasound (cavitation and acoustic flow) tailored to specific purposes through ultrasonic control using a megahertz ultrasonic oscillation probe by measuring and confirming the interactions within the container. Note: Ultrasonic Control By setting the oscillation conditions for sweep oscillation and pulse oscillation using two types of nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probes, it dynamically controls high-frequency propagation states above 30 MHz through high sound pressure resonance phenomena and harmonic generation phenomena (nonlinear phenomena). Note: Ultrasonic Control "Precision Cleaning Example" Sweep Oscillation: 70 kHz – 15 MHz, 15 W Pulse Oscillation: 13 MHz, 8 W Note: Ultrasonic Control "Nano-Level Stirring Example" Sweep Oscillation: 880 kHz – 22 MHz, 12 W Pulse Oscillation: 14 MHz, 10 W In particular, the dynamic characteristics of harmonics through acoustic flow control enable reactions and responses at the nano level.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed manufacturing and utilization technologies for ultrasonic probes that control resonance phenomena and nonlinearity regarding surface elastic waves that propagate to objects above 100 MHz with oscillations below 20 MHz.

Control technology for acoustic flow (nonlinear phenomena) based on sound pressure measurement analysis.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a system that applies technology to measure and analyze the state of ultrasonic waves propagating in the liquid within an ultrasonic tank, setting and controlling the propagation state of ultrasonic waves according to the effects of the tank's structure, strength, manufacturing conditions, and the state of liquid circulation. The liquid circulation within the ultrasonic tank is captured as a system, and the primary purpose of many ultrasonic (tank) applications is to predict or control the sound pressure changes of the liquid inside the tank. However, numerous issues have been pointed out in many implementations due to discrepancies between theory and practice. In response to such cases: 1) The removal of obstacles involves the use of statistical data analysis methods, which is the technology for measuring and analyzing ultrasonic propagation states. 2) Based on the results of data analysis related to the subject, the characteristics of the subject are confirmed, which is the technology for detecting the acoustic properties related to the surface elastic waves of the object. 3) Progressing to control realization through characteristic confirmation involves technology for controlling nonlinear phenomena. By employing the above methods, the utilization state of ultrasonic waves has been improved for efficient use, and there are numerous examples of original systems that have realized the intended use of ultrasonic waves.

Technology for controlling nonlinear phenomena of ultrasound (acoustic flow)

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed ultrasonic cleaning technology that enables control of acoustic flow (ultrasonic propagation state) in the range of 1-100 MHz by utilizing a megahertz ultrasonic oscillation control probe for ultrasonic cleaners. This is a new application technology for precision cleaning, processing, and stirring based on the measurement, analysis, evaluation, and technology of ultrasonic propagation states. By utilizing the acoustic properties (surface elastic waves) of various materials, ultrasonic stimulation can be controlled even in a 1000-liter water tank with an ultrasonic output of less than 20W. It was developed as an application method for nonlinear phenomena through an engineering (experimental and technical) perspective on elastic waves and an abstract algebraic ultrasonic model. The key point is the use of tools (elastic bodies: metals, glass, plastics). By confirming the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves based on the conditions of the target object, it is important to address it as an original nonlinear resonance phenomenon. We believe that this technology can be applied in various fields and are implementing proposals in various consulting services.

To stabilize the effects of cavitation, a statistical perspective is essential.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute is developing an effective "Ultrasonic Oscillation Control System" based on a statistical approach using abstract algebra in relation to the utilization of ultrasound. Regarding the statistical approach, statistical mathematics has both abstract and concrete aspects, and through contact with concrete entities, abstract ideas or methods are developed; this is the characteristic of statistical mathematics. In the research of ultrasound, "a statistical perspective is essential to stabilize the effects of cavitation." About the model: Models are constructed with the aim of effectively advancing understanding, prediction, control, etc., regarding the subject. Constructing an accurate model is difficult, and the examination progresses with representations that appropriately "round off" the complexity of the subject. In that sense, the process of constructing or building a model requires statistical thinking. Propagation characteristics of ultrasound: 1) Detection of vibration modes (changes in self-correlation) 2) Detection of nonlinear phenomena (changes in bispectrum) 3) Detection of response characteristics (analysis of impulse response) 4) Detection of interactions (analysis of power contribution rates)

Surface treatment using ultrasonic surface elastic waves.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed (and published) methods to apply technologies using ultrasound and microbubbles for: 1) Relaxing residual stress near surfaces 2) Removing microscopic burrs in ultrasonic beauty devices. Through the technology that relaxes residual stress using ultrasound and microbubbles, we have experienced improvements in fatigue strength against metal fatigue, which leads to the uniformity of the surface of ultrasonic beauty devices and the efficiency of ultrasonic oscillation and propagation. This significantly changes the usage conditions of ultrasound (the dynamic characteristics of propagation frequency). In particular, the sound pressure level and propagation frequency of ultrasound vary greatly depending on the edge treatment of metal components that come into contact with the skin. By performing uniformity treatment, stable reproducibility and extended lifespan can be achieved. (This has been developed from achievements in ultrasonic cleaning.) We offer this technology as a consulting service.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
