In this paper, the ultrasonic signal was decomposed by empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to obtain the in-trinsic mode function (IMF) components according to ultrasonic defect echo signals occuring at the corresponding time, and the energy of the ultrasonic signal was concentrated. The IMF component selection criterion based on sub-band energy extraction was proposed to extract the ultrasonic signal component accurately and automatically from IMF components. When the selected IMF components were filtered by a band pass filter, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was enhanced greatly.展开更多

Researches in this area home and abroad also made great progress. On the one hand due to improved high-resolution portable ultrasound instrument and probe technology, ultrasound changed from a purely clinical diagnostic into the operating room; on the other hand, with the traditional method of anesthesia increasingly unable to meet the clinical requirements, it is an objective need of technological innovation for clinical anesthesia. And ultrasound has non-invasive, real-time, visible and repeatable characteristics which are able to provide accurate data and rich means for preoperative assessment, intraoperative monitoring and treatment of pain in pre-clinical anesthesia展开更多

Obvious fluctuations induced by precipitation are observed for the outputs of sonic anemometer-derived temperature and wind velocity components. A technique of turbulence spectra and cospectra normalized in the framework of similarity theory is utilized to validate the measured variables and calculated fluxes. It is found that the sensitivity of sonic anemometer-derived temperature to precipitation is significant, compared with that of the wind velocity components. The spectra of wind velocity and cospectra of momentum flux resemble the standard universal shape with the slopes of the spectra and cospectra at the inertial subrange, following the-2/3 and-4/3 power law, respectively, even under the condition of heavy rain. Contaminated by precipitation, however, the spectra of temperature and cospectra of sensible heat flux do not exhibit a universal shape and have obvious frequency loss at the inertial subrange. From the physical structure and working principle of sonic anemometer, a possible explanation is proposed to describe this difference, which is found to be related to the variations of precipitation particles. Corrections for errors of sonic anemometer-derived temperature under precipitation is needed, which is still under exploration.展开更多

By means of microscopic magnifying photography system, thesedimentary phenomenon can be observed. The experimental research reveals the influencing rule of acoustic intensity,cavitational distance, liquid temperature and solution concentration. The experimental results indicate thatliquid temperature has different effects on antiscale and scale removal. Different experimental liquids are used forantiscale and scale removal experiments. The results show that every liquid has a respective Cavitational activetemperature. When ultrasonic is used for antiscale, the smaller acoustic intensity is, the better effect is. But, whenultrasonic is used for scale removal, acoustic intensity has a reverse influence. In addition, biggish solution concentrationis propitious to antiscale for long-time running. Distance of test sample to ultrasonic transducer alsohas certain influence on antiscale and scale removal. The smaller the distance to ultrasonic transducer is, the bettereffects antiscale and scale removal have.展开更多

The main characteristic of such microscope is that the acoustic wave is produced or detected in near-field area whether ultrasonic transducer acts as generator or detector. The resolution of SNAM can reach to nanometer scale. First, two typical SNAMs, scanning electron acoustic Inicroscope and scanning probe acoustic microscope, will be introduced in this paper. The working principle of our homemade SNAM based on a commercial scanning probe microscope will be reported, together with some recent results from this homemade SNAM.展开更多
