An experimental system for controlling chemical reactions through the oscillation control of megahertz ultrasound.

A technology has been developed to control the nonlinear phenomena of ultrasonic vibrations propagating to the target object based on classification techniques of ultrasonic waves and oscillation control.

We provide consulting services for the development of ultrasonic systems utilizing the following device. <<Deaeration Fine Bubble (Microbubble) Generation Liquid Circulation Device>> 1) By narrowing the suction side of the pump, cavitation is generated. 2) Cavitation causes bubbles of dissolved gases to form. The above describes the state of the deaeration liquid circulation device. 3) When the concentration of dissolved gases decreases, the bubble size of dissolved gases due to cavitation becomes smaller. 4) Through appropriate liquid circulation, fine bubbles (microbubbles) of less than 20μ are generated. The above describes the state of the deaeration microbubble generation liquid circulation device. 5) When ultrasonic waves are applied to the above-mentioned deaeration fine bubble (microbubble) generation liquid circulation device, the ultrasonic waves disperse and crush the fine bubbles (microbubbles), and when measuring the fine bubbles (microbubbles), the distribution of ultra-fine bubbles becomes greater than that of fine bubbles. The above state indicates that ultrasonic waves can be stably controlled.

Ultrasonic oscillation and control technology based on measurement and analysis using an ultrasonic tester.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena by utilizing the interactions generated from simultaneously oscillating two types of ultrasonic probes from one oscillation channel of a function generator. Note: Nonlinear (resonance) phenomena refer to the resonance phenomenon that occurs when the generation of harmonics produced by original oscillation control is realized at high amplitudes, resulting in ultrasonic vibration resonance. By optimizing the ultrasonic propagation characteristics of various materials according to their intended purpose, efficient ultrasonic oscillation control becomes possible. Through the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data from ultrasonic testers, this system technology allows for the dynamic changes of surface elastic waves to be controlled according to their intended use. In practical terms, multiple (two types of) ultrasonic probes generate multiple (two types of) oscillations (sweep oscillation, pulse oscillation), which create complex vibration phenomena (original nonlinear resonance phenomena), achieving high sound pressure at high frequency propagation states, or achieving low frequency propagation states with high sound pressure levels tailored to the desired natural frequency.

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.

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.
