This paper describes a Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulator and demodulator and the experimented underwater data ommunication equipment to transfer the analog echo signal in real-time from an underwater vehicle to the mother ship. The system consists of an echo signal transfer unit equipped to the vehicle and an ultrasonic receiver equipped on the ship. The former includes an ultrasonic transceiver unit of 180kHz for echo detection and a continuous wave transmitter of 50kHz with a FSK modulator for echo transmission to the ship. The latter includes an ultrasonic receiver of 50kHz and the FSK demodulator. The results of experiment are as follows. 1. The characteristics of the FSK modulating and demodulating circuits designed with the use of C-MOS IC 4046 was good and confirmed its usefulness in underwater data communication system.2. The prototype ultrasonic transceiver unit shows profitable driving power while the pulse duration was short less than 3 msec, but it was found that the driving power is not sufficient while the long pulse duration or continuous wave is used. The gain of the ultrasonic receiver was 80 dB and the receiving bandwidth 700Hz (at - 3 dB point).3. It was found that the system designed by the author has some possibility to use in underwater echo transfer.4. At the FSK modulator, the widths of voltage and frequency which represent linearity were 3.5 V, 1600Hz, respectively, at the FSK demodulator 2.6 V, 700Hz, respectively.

In this study, we analyzed and compared the ultrasonic welding with the laser welding for the pure aluminium thin plates in a series of secondary lithium-ion batteries which are currently being produced by the ultrasonic welding; and performed the experiment for the purpose of the preceding study to replace the ultrasonic welding method with the laser welding method. As a result, the weld width of ultrasonic welding was 5mm, but that of laser welding was about 1~1.5 mm. As a result of tension test, the tensile strength was high when the pulse duration hour was short at the low peak power, while the high tensile strength was achieved when the pulse duration hour was long at the high peak power. The value of tensile strength was higher in the ultrasonic welding while the laser welding showed a maximum 45% better result as for the welding width.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for ultrasonic sensors arranged on ring frame to identify obstacles surrounding itself by TOFs (time of flight). The ring frame has multiple channels consisting of a transmitter and a receiver. When the transmitter of a selected channel transmits ultrasonic signal, the TOFs of reflected signals from obstacles are acquired by the receiver of the channel. The process continues for all channels consecutively. Then, by using parabolic curve fitting of TOFs of all channel, the proposed algorithm not only calculates distances from multiple obstacles, but also identifies if the shape of obstacles are point or plane by the coefficients of the curve. By the experiment using 16 ultrasonic transceivers on the ring frame in the environment of two poles and two planes, we show the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

This paper addressed the spectrum of ultrasonic waves produced by arc and/or coronal discharge inside the switchboard. Portable ultrasound sensors are useful for detecting discharge phenomena, such as coronal means in electrical systems. However, a typical handheld ultrasound detector has a disadvantage of determining the type of problem by listening to the sound characteristics and predicting the results, as a result of the determination of whether a discharge is present. Therefore, a new method of analysis is required to distinguish ultrasonic characteristics. In this paper, we published an ultrasound analysis case study to visualize the sound of ultrasonic waves measured with ultrasonic sensors. From the results of the experiment, it was possible to detect coronal discharge and serial arc discharge without interference by the ultrasonic detection system.

In this paper, ultrasonic range finding module for the self-contained robot, INHAE-1, is presented. This system is processed, using Z-80 microprocessor, a much of information on the surrounding condition in real time and is realted a sensor for many side data acqusition with a stepping motor. Also this system can obtain the more correct edge of the obstacle using the standard deviation of the least-square method. In this experiment, it gives more correct information to mobile robot of the blind guidance and improves the orientation of the robot path.

Recently, the micro bonding technology comes into the spotlight as the miniaturization of the electronic product. The micro bonding technique can classify by way of laser welding and ultrasonic bonding and etc. However, the research on the micro bonding is much lacks. In this paper, carried out the cooling analysis of the 60 [kHz] ultrasonic bonding equipment to know heat effect of the piezoelectric element when the ultrasonic bonding equipment was operated. The ultrasonic horn having the natural frequency with 60 [kHz] for the dissimilar material bonding of the glass and solder tried to be designed. The parameters and response was set through the basic experiment. The dissimilar material bonding strength analysis using the 60 [kHz] ultrasonic bonding equipment was done. We carried out the bonding for improving bonding strength to using the silver paste. air thightness of bonding surface was confirmed by analysis of bonding interfaces.

This paper proposes virtual-magnetic system by a force-reflecting interface to drive a ultrasonic motors(USMs) To approach virtual magnet in graphic the 6 dDOF force-reflecting interfaces provides force feedback to users as if I is magnetic-force, So users can feel real magnet Effectively to display the magnetic-force we need the interface with specific characteristics such as low inertia almost zero friction and very high stiffness As an actuator for the interface the USMs have many good advantage satisfied these conditions over conventional servo motors. To estimate capability of this virtual-magnetic system we did an experiment of magnetism based on coulomb's law when Coulmb's low apply this experiment it is vey conformable to real magnet

In this paper, it is fundamental purpose that finding the relationship between quality and structure of bone, by reconstructing the bone structure image, using ultrasound. In this study, longitudinal transmission method was used for experiment as basic measuring method, which is known as ultrasonic diagnosis method for human tibia. And using ultrasonic velocity parameter that can be detected and calculated with the transmitted signal, new estimated parameter, called Bone Area Fraction, is applied to reconstruct image. Through the in-vitro experiment in cattle's tibia bone, basic sectional image of bone which is similar in real bone structure image can be reconstructed.

Centrifugally Cast Stainless Steel generally shows similar structure to the weld in austenitic stainless steel in the point of casting. When examining this material ultrasonically, the beam does not generally propagate straightforward but rather deviates from its original direction and this phenomenon called skewing is originally caused by anisotropic material. In order to calculate the beam skewing effect theoretically, work has been performed based on a model approach which has regarded material itself as having been composed of multi-layered columnar dendrite structure and the result was compared with the one from experiment. The result from both theory and experiment showed good correlation and ultrasonic beam showed the least skewing with around 45 degree incident angle.
