The speckle linear transformation (LT) is then computed from successive frames in the echographic sequences using an optical-flow algorithm. Compression and expansion strains computed from speckle LT agree well with induced deformation values. The feasibility of the method was then investigated in a preliminary study of skeletal muscle contraction. Results indicate the usefulness of speckle tracking as a method for assessing the contractile performance of cardiac and skeletal muscles.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The model allows the prediction of SAW sensor response for a film of known conductivity variations, and the theoretical value of SAW velocity change agrees very well with that determined by experiment. The electroacoustic attenuation was also determined to be a significant factor in designing a SAW sensor. SAW sensor response can be optimized by designing the device such that the sheet conductivity of the film is within some region dependent upon the substrate material. A WO/sub 3/ film could be designed to have a sheet conductivity within a specific range by tailoring parameters such as film thickness, doping, and heat treatment. A sensor consisting of an ST-cut SiO/sub 2/ substrate and a WO/sub 3/ film selectively sorbent to H/sub 2/S was investigated. The SAW gas sensor is configured so that the film sheet conductivity and sensor response are measured simultaneously upon exposure to H/sub 2/S. Specific operating conditions are obtained that optimized the SAW gas sensor response.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The IMPs arising from acoustic harmonic waves generated by the nonlinear elastic response of the Bragg cell crystalline lattice (elastic IMPs) may further limit dynamic range in Bragg cells operating at high frequencies or long time apertures. It is shown that the elastic IMPs can be minimized by increasing the Bragg-cell transducer length. The length can be increased without the attendant bandwidth loss using a phased array transducer. It is shown experimentally that this device is limited in dynamic range by the dynamic IMPs and thus exhibits the maximum spurious-free dynamic range possible.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The bending die vibrates vertically to the bending punch and specimen plate. The bending angle is about 90 degrees . Bending-metal specimens used are commercially pure aluminum, anticorrosive aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel plates of 1.6-mm thickness.

This technique estimates the change in arrival time (instead of frequency) of ultrasound reflected from scatterers. A system based on this technique has been constructed and the technique has been verified in a blood-flow phantom system with both a blood-mimicking substance and porcine blood. Under in vitro conditions, the measurement angle has been determined within 5%, and continuous and pulsatile volumetric flow has been measured to 150 beats/min with an accuracy better than 18%.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

In this formulation the [110] direction is a saddle point. The measurement model was checked against previous experimental and theoretical work and was found to reproduce the earlier results exactly. In principle, the T-N measurement model can handle diffraction losses in arbitrary directions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

A SAW (surface acoustic wave) delay line is heated above the ambient by absorbing RF power from an oscillator loop in which it also serves as the frequency-control element; forced convective cooling due to gas flow induces substantial frequency shifts. Utilization of RF power in the sensor is analyzed by applying a simple equivalent-circuit model. A mass-flow sensing configuration that utilizes dual SAW delay-line oscillators to provide temperature compensation and a convenient low-frequency output corresponding to mass-flow rate is described. For low flow rates, oscillator frequency increases linearly with the rate, and a normalized sensitivity greater than 4*10/sup -6//sccm at 150 mW input power has been obtained for nitrogen gas. Simplicity, high sensitivity, digitally compatible output, and low fabrication cost are some of the attractive features of this sensor.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":89469,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
