New ultrasonic control technology

Dynamic control technology of ultrasound through sweeping oscillation of multiple ultrasonic probes.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a classification method for the phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations propagation through the measurement and analysis of ultrasonic propagation states. Based on this classification, we have developed a nonlinear sweep oscillation control technology for ultrasound using a nonlinear resonant ultrasonic oscillation probe. This ultrasonic sweep oscillation control technology dynamically controls the linear and nonlinear resonance effects according to the main frequency (power spectrum) related to the propagation state of the ultrasound, based on the dynamic characteristics (changes in nonlinear phenomena). From previous experiments and data measurement analyses, we have been able to classify effective utilization methods into the following four recommended controls: 1. Two types of sweep oscillation control (linear type) 2. Three types of sweep oscillation control (nonlinear type) 3. Four types of sweep oscillation control (mixed type) 4. Dynamic control (variable type) based on the combinations above. Furthermore, the variable type can be classified into the following three control types based on the sweep oscillation conditions: 1. Linear variable control type 2. Nonlinear variable control type 3. Mixed variable control type (dynamic variable type)

Application of measurement, analysis, and evaluation techniques related to ultrasonic propagation conditions — Providing know-how for optimal control of ultrasound.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed design and manufacturing technology for ultrasonic dedicated tanks by applying measurement and analysis techniques related to ultrasonic propagation conditions. With the technology developed this time, we can achieve efficient utilization of ultrasound suitable for ultrasonic cleaning and surface modification, as well as dynamic control of cavitation and acoustic flow, and propagation conditions for target objects, for ultrasonic dedicated tanks ranging from a maximum length of 3 cm (liquid volume 5 cc) to 600 cm (liquid volume 8000 liters), tailored to specific purposes.

Sound flow control technology

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. 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: metal, glass, resin). 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. Note 1: Original Nonlinear Resonance Phenomenon The resonance phenomenon of ultrasonic vibrations occurs when the generation of harmonics caused by original oscillation control is realized at high amplitudes through resonance phenomena. We believe that this technology can be utilized in various fields, and we 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.

Development of "Control Technology for Nonlinear Phenomena" Using a Small Pump

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed "ultrasonic control technology" that dynamically controls nonlinear phenomena related to ultrasonic propagation by utilizing a small pump for liquid circulation. Nonlinear phenomena are evaluated through analysis using an ultrasonic tester. The complex changes in ultrasound (such as ultrasonic cleaners, ultrasonic probes, etc.) are confirmed through time-series data analysis of sound pressure from ultrasonic oscillation and reception, identifying various interactions. Based on the confirmation of these interactions, the oscillation control conditions using ultrasonic probes are optimized, achieving a dynamic ultrasonic control system tailored to specific objectives. In practical applications, such as ultrasonic cleaning, the ON/OFF control (or control of flow rate and velocity, etc.) of the current liquid circulation device is optimized by considering the ultrasonic propagation characteristics related to the installation state of the device and the surface elastic waves of the target object, including the output, oscillation frequency, and control conditions of the ultrasound. In particular, by utilizing the vibration characteristics of the pump to alternately circulate liquid and gas, new nonlinear effects of ultrasound and microbubbles are realized.

Leading to new applications of ultrasound from sound pressure and vibration data of ultrasound.

Application of ultrasonic sound pressure measurement, analysis, and evaluation technology The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a method for the analysis and evaluation of ultrasound (system technology) that applies measurement, analysis, and control technology related to the nonlinearity of ultrasound. Using this technology, we will provide measurement, analysis, and evaluation support for ultrasonic devices. For specific support and costs, please contact us via email. *Comment* Currently, regarding the use of ultrasound, I believe it is very difficult to detect and confirm the optimal ultrasonic state for the intended purpose. Therefore, by incorporating "sound pressure data" into the daily management of ultrasound, we aim to resolve the relationship with the final evaluation state (defect rate, yield, etc.) through the accumulation and analysis of statistical data. By analyzing using time-series data analysis technology, effective improvements have been realized. As a result of continuing such improvements, the number of successful cases using low-output ultrasonic oscillation control has increased. We have been manufacturing and selling our original product: ultrasonic systems (sound pressure measurement analysis, oscillation control) since March 2021.

We are pleased to announce the development of the vehicle passage time prediction system "MS-VPP," which measures the speed of vehicles approaching construction sites using microwave sensors and informs the predicted passage time through signage and tablets. This system will be available to construction contractors starting in November 2025. ■Product Overview - "MS-VPP" detects vehicles approaching construction sites and measures their speed using microwave sensors, displaying the vehicle speed and the predicted passage time at specified locations on signage and tablets. It can also measure and display data for vehicles passing continuously. - The data control panel connected to the microwave sensor transmits the vehicle speed data and calculated passage prediction time via LTE. By utilizing microwave sensors, it enables accurate detection and speed measurement of vehicles even at night or in bad weather, and since data processing occurs on the receiving side without going through the cloud, information can be displayed without any time lag. - As a result, drivers of construction vehicles exiting from construction entrances and workers directing traffic can understand "how many seconds until a vehicle passes near the site entrance," thereby implementing safety measures in areas with poor visibility.
