In the lower pressure region where the dispersion relation is anomalous, simple saturation and weak depletion were observed. In the higher pressure region where the dispersion relation becomes normal, new nonlinear phenomena have been observed; that is when the input power increases, the received power increases monotonically, saturates, and rapidly depletes. As the input power is increased, the received power increases and depletes again. A resolution improvement beyond the diffraction limit via the nonlinear effect in the superfluid helium acoustic microscope has been observed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"36 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":"121830694","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 model used to perform the charge injection simulations is based on a simplification of the model proposed by E. G. Bogus (1987). Spatial variations in the epilayer doping density offer a method of increasing injected charge packet compression. Such charge packet compression is thought to increase charge transfer efficiency. Charge injection simulations are performed for the cases of linear- and Gaussian-shaped doping profiles, and the results are compared to the case of constant epilayer doping. The Gaussian profile was superior to the constant and linear profiles in terms of linearity of the channel-current-input-voltage relationship and exhibited a somewhat higher input transconductance. In terms of sampling time variations, however, the constant doping profile remained better than any of the spatial variations examined.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"88 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":"123242499","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 soft, compliant fluid-filled nose compartment was designed as an integral part of the probe. The array was built on a radius of curvature of 17.14 mm, a pitch of 0.422 mm, contained 80 active elements, and used an RTV lens to focus the short axis. The concave array performance is compared to that of the convex and classical phased arrays. The scanhead was judged to be superior to a convex 15-mm probe and was found to be comparable in performance to the phased array. A key technical problem that had to be resolved was the near-field clutter and reverberations encountered when doing cardiac imaging through ribs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"110 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":"124089808","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}

Voids equal to or larger than 0.2 mm in diameter in the solder are reliably detected and their sizing data agree well within 0.1 mm with those measured visually through an optical microscope after destruction. The imaging performance is also examined for fatigue cracks in soldered joints. In 1000 heat cycles between -55 and +150 degrees C, cracks are caused in the soldered joints of most samples, and crack growth is clearly visible. By comparing the images with those observed by a scanning electron microscope, it is confirmed that minimum cracks of 1- mu m separation are detected.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"32 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":"124476962","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 principle of operation of the sensor is based on the measurement of the variation of the attenuation of the acoustic wave in the slurry as a function of frequency. The attenuation data are then incorporated into a theoretical model to predict the PSD of TiO/sub 2/ particles in the slurry. The sensor is capable of detecting the PSD of the TiO/sub 2/ particles with sizes ranging from 0.1 to 10 mu m in high-concentration slurries, up to 75 weight percent. A potential application of the sensor is in process control in the manufacture of pigments or slurries for use in paints and paper coatings.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"65 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":"121623744","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 measurement was performed using a microwave wafer probe system in conjunction with a two-port network analyzer. Two different software packages are described. The first, the measurement software, allows the measurement of a large number of frequency samples with an HP8753 network analyzer. The second package, the data manipulation software, is more specialized in that it is only applicable to measured S-parameters from a special five-transducer test structure. Its computed results provide the equivalent of making direct experimental measurements at the two acoustic ports of the center transducer.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"34 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":"128212842","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 wave interacts with a perfectly conducting and weightless metal disk on the substrate surface by means of the electric potential only, which is coupled to the SAW due to the substrate piezoelectricity. A perturbation theory of the scattering of the plane harmonic SAW by the disk is presented which accounts for the dielectric and elastic anisotropy of the substrate. The solution for electric charge distribution on the disk is given in the form of a fast convergent series easy for computation. The angular dependence of the scattered SAW a large distance from the disk is discussed, and it is shown that the scattering pattern main lobe lies in the shadow area.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":412254,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics","volume":"25 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":"130997813","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}
