Simple formulas for estimating the threshold values of the saturation power level of MSW devices are derived. These formulas provide quantitative information on the saturation power level of MSW devices and facilitate a qualitative understanding of the nonlinear behavior of MSW devices. Numerical results are in good agreement with experimental data.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114063399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of the device transfer function is described, taking into account the asymmetric slowness curve used in the compensation of second-order effects. The agreement of design and measurement is better than +or-0.1 dB in magnitude and +or-1 degrees in the phase within the filter passband. Stop-band suppression was better than -55 dB with an inline configuration and was not degraded by bulk modes. The surface velocity on the free surface was determined using group delay measurements of the differential delay, allowing a better estimate of the group delay for future designs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"128 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113940001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proc., vol.2, pp.907-910, 1989) that change in ultrasonic attenuation of a flowing fluid as a function of time following a bolus injection of a gaseous ultrasonic contrast agent can be used to derive mean flow rate based upon the indicator dilution principle and that flow profile can be estimated using a real-time B-scanner from images of the agent. Here, results are presented to show that ultrasonic contrast agents may also be useful for time domain blood flow estimation via cross-correlation or a dual-probe approach. Two different approaches of time domain contrast ultrasonic flowmetry were studied using a mock flow loop: (1) velocity estimation using an optical correlator from recorded video ultrasonic images, and (2) velocity estimation using a two-probe arrangement from cross correlation of RF signals. Both methods use bolus injection of a contrast agent upstream from the monitoring site.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122439070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A saline bath is used as the ground electrode in poling the copolymer lines. The construction and performance of the line hydrophones and the 23-element line hydrophone array are reported. As the output of a line hydrophone is proportional to the line integral of the acoustic pressure, a computer-tomographic technique is used to reconstruct the pressure profiles.
