[ULTRASOUND HANDBOOK]
Distance Measurement
<Distance measurement is the basics of ultrasonic measurement. How do we measure distance?>
Liquid Volume Measurement
<In places you do not expect, ultrasonic liquid volume measurements are employed.>
Weir Flow Rate Measurement
<Water amount flowing over a barrage can be measured using an ultrasound.>
Control of Water Treatment
<Is ultrasound used for the control of water treatment?>
Water Depth Measurement
<Is it a flashlight? No, it's a sounder for measuring the distance to sea or lake bottoms.>
Lake and Sea Bottom Observation
<It is ultrasound that enables us to see lake and sea bottoms even when enough light does not reach there. What's the principle?>
3D Measurement
<Ultrasound can be used for measuring spaces and stereoscopic shapes and for pinpointing a 3D location.>
Thickness Measurement
<No need to cut objects. You can determine the thickness with ultrasound!>
Bolt Axial Force Meter
<Bolt tightening can be determined by ultrasound!>
Measurement of Ocular Axial Length
<Precise measurement inside an eye using an ultrasound, safe for soft tissue. It is widely used as a pre-inspection for surgery.>
Scanning Acoustic Microscope
<Microscope using an ultrasound. No need of staining. Prompt diagnosis.>
Speed Measurement
<The speed of cars or ships can be measured using ultrasound.>
Flow Rate Measurement
<Flow rate of liquid and gas is measured using an ultrasound.>
Density Meter
<Concentration is determined using an ultrasound.>
Viscosity Meter (Viscosity Measurement)
<Ultrasound also measures viscosity.>
Sound Pressure Measurement
<Let us measure "sound pressure", the intensity of sound.>
Traffic Volume Management System
<Detecting cars using ultrasound. It contributes to smooth traffic movement.>
Fish Counter
<How many fishes have passed through? Automatic counting of the number of fishes.>
Detection
<Ultrasonic sensors are more common around us than expected. Where are they used?>
Acoustic Diagnosis
<What do you detect when you listen carefully?>
Noise Reduction
<Does a sound disappear by putting one sound upon another?>
Ultrasonic Flaw Detection
<The flaws and structures inside electronic parts or metals can be observed using an ultrasound !>
Detection of Material Interface
<Material Interface detection??? Ultrasound reflects.>
Materials Observation and Evaluation
<The elastic property of materials can be observed with ultrasound.>
Medical Diagnosis
<An ultrasonic medical diagnostic instrument, known as “Echo” is safe for a fetus.>
Fish Finding
<Now “can‘t do without”tools. Also active in sport fishing. What’s the principle?>
Imaging (Ultrasonic Camera)
<Let‘s see underwater using the same method as a medical diagnostic instrument. How effective?>
Subaqueous Investigation
<Ultrasound is used for making submarine maps and for sea rescues.>
Subterranean Investigation
<Ultrasound is used for investigating stratums and the nature of the soil.>
Underwater Communication
<Is it possible to transmit information or communicate using an ultrasound?>
Repelling / Prevention
<Is there any sound hated by dolphins or insect pests?>
Marine Organisms Telemetry
<Technology investigating the migration behavior of fish, marine resources for controlling and the inhabitation environment of fish.>
Ultrasonic Cleaning
<Ultrasonic cleaning is an indispensable technology to improve the quality of industrial products.>
Ultrasonic Motor
<How does it move using ultrasonic vibration?>
Powder Feeder
<Powder moves by ultrasound. A stable powder feeder is realized.>
Ultrasonic Floating
<Things float by ultrasound. Things can be conveyed without damage>
Adhesion Prevention
<Ultrasound is also useful for preventing adhesion such as preventing moss and removing raindrops on car door mirrors.>
Vibrational Sieving
<Improving sieving efficiency using ultrasonic vibration !>
Plastic Processing
<Effective in reducing processing cost !>
Fitting in Precise Assembly
<Can we prevent “seizing-up” in fitting using an ultrasound?>
Cutting (except machining)
<By vibrating the edge finely, you can cut it by a light force.>
Cutting and Grinding in Machining
<Exerting an ultrasonic vibration to tools improves processing efficiency.>
Materials Crushing
<Ultrasonic energy can crush various materials.>
