It could be used to identify the circumferential location of defects and provide quantitative assessments of defects. Typically, the group delay of the first wave packet passing through the corroded region is utilized to evaluate the variation in group velocity due to corrosion. However, the initial corrosion may induce group delay variations that fall below the sampling interval, thereby existing below the detection limit of conventional Time-Of-Flight (TOF) approaches. In this circumstance, a pipeline corrosion detection method based on the group delay accumulation effect of CGW multi-path wave packets is presented in this paper. In particular, it estimates the group delay of multi-path wave packets of normal and corroded CGW responses using the discrete analytic cross-correlation method. The experimental results indicate that due to the accumulation effect of multi-path wave packets, the group delay of the wave packets passing through the corroded region exceeds the sampling frequency limitation and becomes detectable. The multi-path wave packets pass through the corroded region multiple times, and with each pass, the group delay is accumulated. Thus, the accumulated group delay of the wave packets could increase detection sensitivity. Additionally, the stability of variations in group delay and phase shift is also considered. The experimental results show that with the corrosion area increasing, the group delay could consistently maintain the accumulation effect, while the variation in phase shift is irregular.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23522,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 107742"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144469953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, achieving stable suspension using focused ultrasound (FU) or focused acoustic vortex (FAV) alone remains challenging due to the absence of both trapping and propulsive forces. This study proposes a stable acoustic levitation scheme that employs coaxial confocal dual-frequency FU and FAV beams, implemented by a focused sector array. Theoretical analyses of force balance for objects with the size much smaller than the wavelength are performed, and ARFs in both axial and radial directions are calculated based on the Gor’kov potential. It is demonstrated that the suspension capability primarily depends on the peak pressure of FU, with the minimum threshold determined by the object's gravity. A longer axial range of upward propulsion, characterized by a lower threshold height and a higher steady-state height, is created by a higher peak pressure of FU. The trapping force is governed by the peak-pressure ratio between FAV and FU, with a constant minimum ratio (0.69) being nearly independent of the density and size of objects. A high-precision dual-frequency holographic direct digital synthesis technology based on phase sampling is developed to design an 8-channel driving system capable of real-time adjustments to frequency, pressure, and phase. Focused fields composed of dual-frequency FU and FAV beams are constructed by an 8-element focused sector array. By independently regulating the peak pressures of FAV and FU, the upward and downward movements and stable suspension of polystyrene particles along the beam axis in water are successfully realized. The proposed scheme significantly enhances the stability and precision of on-axis acoustic levitation, validating its potential for contactless manipulation and container-free processing. Additionally, the dual-frequency holographic technology can improve the regulation flexibility of multiplexed fields, making it adaptable to diverse applications while reducing the driving complexity for source arrays.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23522,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 107738"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144364882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior studies have suggested that mechanical effects from ultrasound, such as membrane deformation and cavitation, may play a role in modulating ion channel activity and insulin secretion. However, direct observations of intracellular signaling responses in human islets during ultrasound application are limited. In this work we investigate the effects of ultrasound on human islets <em>in vitro</em> using confocal fluorescence microscopy and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure intracellular sodium and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Human islets obtained through the NIDDK Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP) were treated with ultrasound, and high glucose. Ultrasound was applied using an 800 kHz unfocused transducer for 3 min at 0.5 W/cm<sup>2</sup> and a 16.6 % duty cycle. Fluorescence imaging showed that high glucose stimulus significantly increased intracellular sodium fluorescence (0.45 ± 0.71 A.U.) compared to ultrasound (0.03 ± 0.10 A.U.) and control (−0.012 ± 0.06 A.U.) (p = 0.001). Ultrasound also increased intracellular sodium fluorescence, though less than glucose. Reactive oxygen fluorescence measured with DCFH-DA indicated increased ROS across all conditions, with ultrasound inducing the highest increase. ELISA measures revealed high glucose caused an initial decrease in extracellular insulin (−14.36 ± 24.69 µU) followed by a moderate increase (2.2 ± 4.76 µU). Our fluorescence microscopy results indicate that high glucose treatment is causing an increase in intracellular sodium levels over the course of the fluorescence recording with that increase being significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05) compared to ultrasound application and control. These results suggest that ultrasound stimulated insulin release does not mimic glucose-driven sodium dynamics but exert bioeffects through shorter time scale mechanical pathways. The trend of higher ROS production in the β-cell with ultrasound application compared to glucose application may suggest that ultrasound induced ROS production occurs at rates higher than physiological glucose induced levels and while ROS generation is metabolic signal in glucose induced insulin release, should be carefully considered when developing ultrasound based therapies for type 2 diabetes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23522,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 107737"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144331093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results demonstrate exceptional high-temperature adaptability with stable echo characteristics. A primary distinguishing contribution is the identification and characterization of a “Temperature-Activated Coupling Effect”. Unlike the monotonic performance degradation often anticipated or observed with increasing temperature in many systems, the Temperature-Activated Coupling Effect reveals a unique window where peak-to-peak voltage and SNR are enhanced after surpassing a specific thermal threshold. This phenomenon, attributed to thermally induced improvements at the nano-Ag coupling interface, offers novel insights for optimizing transducer performance. While the mechanical coupling coefficient showed a complex trend, peaking at 100 °C, the overall significance of this study lies in its holistic design approach and the elucidation of the Temperature-Activated Coupling Effect, offering a practical and mechanistically insightful advancement beyond simply achieving temperature tolerance.
