background: ultrasonography is an imaging method which, due to its relative economy, is becoming more widely available in regions of the world where fasciola hepatica infection occurs most frequently. in this report, we describe the sonographic findings of hepatic lesions in patients with fascioliasis to help confirmation of the sonographic characteristics of this disease and thus aid in its di...

This document presents the principle of ultrasonic distance measurement is described, the main error sources of ultrasonic distance measurement are analyzed also. A method of improving precision of ultrasonic distance measurement in air, in which the transmission speed of ultrasonic wave if corrected by measured air temperature and the forward edge of receive wave can be determined accurately b...

Aiming at the problem that echo signal is hard to recognize caused by ultrasonic energy’s overquick dispersion and attenuation, a kind of ultrasonic horn is designed. According to the acoustic theory analysis, the ultrasonic horn can increase its radiation energy by improving impedance matching. The ultrasonic horn can make the directivity of sound source sharper and energy more centralized bec...

it has been proved that ultrasonic energy can considerably increase the amount of oil recovery in animmiscible displacement process. although many studies have been performed on investigating theroles of ultrasonic waves, based on the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to evaluatewave attenuation parameter, which is an important parameter in the determination of the energydel...

continuous exposure to high-energy ultrasonic waves depolymerises macromolecules in solutions and produces a permanent reduction in viscosity. different factors affect the efficiency of this ultrasonic depolymerisation. in this work ultrasonic degradation of one commercially important hydrogel based on acrylic acid and acrylamide was carried out in aqueous solution at room temperature (25oc). a...

This study presents a compressed sensing (CS) based sampling approach for repetitive ultrasonic signal. Proposed system considers recovering ultrasonic signal with high equivalent sampling frequency from samples captured using analog-to-digital converter (ADC) clocked at a rate lower than Nyquist rate. A basis function is constructed to realize ultrasonic signal sparse representation, which pav...

BACKGROUND Although many studies have compared the properties of ultrasonic scaling instruments, it remains controversial as to which is most suitable for implant scaling. This study evaluated the safety and efficiency of novel metallic ultrasonic scaler tips made by the powder injection molding (PIM) technique on titanium surfaces. METHODS Mechanical instrumentation was carried out using fou...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of semiconductor laser irradiation on root canal sealing after routine root canal therapy (RCT). METHODS Sixty freshly extracted single-rooted human teeth were randomly divided into six groups (n = 10). The anatomic crowns were sectioned at the cementoenamel junction and the remaining roots were prepared endodontically with conventional RCT methods. Groups A a...

The optimization problem of ultrasonic testing instrument is studied in this paper. Using ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology to detect quality of products or parts, because the function of conventional ultrasonic testing instruments is custom-built and defined by manufacturers, it is very difficult to meet ever-changing testing requirements such as testing accuracy, testing efficiency...
