This paper describes a new implementation model for the service-oriented smart transducers network based on the IEEE 1451 Web Services. The model enables simple service dislocation and addition of new functionalities in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) network. Presented architectural organization supports new service-oriented network entities in addition to standard IEEE 1451 smart transduc...

Introduction: The ability to track the location of the ultrasound transducer is of utmost significance in various new Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) applications such as in pain palliation of bone metastases and prostate tumor treatment. The ultrasound transducer is generally monitored using a micro-RF coil setup shown in Figure 1. The tracking of micro RF-coils was first...

With the continuous deepening of ocean exploration and growth emergency rescue needs, hydroacoustic transducer, as an important component sonar, has become more demanding. To improve reception performance piezoelectric we developed a high-frequency, high-sensitivity planar transducer. A variant 1-3-2 type material is used to effective electromechanical coupling coefficient, upper surface covere...

The paper proposes a method for increasing the radiated acoustic power of ultrasonic (acoustic) devices preventing deposits, ensuring their effectiveness. A formula determining specific magnetostrictive transducer, depending on its physical characteristics, is known from literary sources. However, in practice, this can only be applied to determine calculated theoretical maximum that designed tr...
