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.

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.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about not colliding with pedestrians when leaving the parking lot in my car..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Departure Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel including the controller and switching power supply (24V) is required when using the departure warning system. *We kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
