Development of design technology for ultrasonic systems.

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)

Development of an ultrasonic probe utilizing the acoustic properties of Teflon rods (with iron cores).

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed an ultrasonic oscillation control system for various solvents (such as hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid) using Teflon (PTFE). By confirming the basic acoustic properties (response characteristics, propagation characteristics) of Teflon rods (with iron cores), it enables the desired ultrasonic propagation state through oscillation control (output, waveform, oscillation frequency, variations, etc.). Specifically, using two types of ultrasonic oscillation control probes, we set oscillation conditions based on measurements and analyses of the intended purpose and interactions, combining sweep oscillation and pulse oscillation. In particular, to control low-frequency resonance phenomena, we utilize high-frequency nonlinear phenomena. Therefore, sound pressure measurements require a measurement range of over 100 MHz. The key point is to evaluate the dynamic vibration characteristics of the system based on the measurement and analysis of sound pressure data.
