Abstract:
A method for operating an ultrasound device (1) is proposed, which ultrasound device (1) comprises at least one ultrasound oscillator (3) and at least one ultrasound generator (2), which ultrasound oscillator (3) is prompted to oscillate by the ultrasound generator (2), which method is distinguished in that during operation of the ultrasound device (1) a temperature (T) of the ultrasound oscillator (3) is ascertained, and in that the ascertained temperature (T) is taken as a basis for modifying a power delivered by the ultrasound generator (2) to the ultrasound oscillator (3), to which end an actual variable (IL, ILS) and/or a setpoint variable (SL) for a control loop of the ultrasound generator (2) is/are altered in said control loop. In addition, a regulatory circuit (6) for an ultrasound device (1) and also an ultrasound device (1) are proposed which are suitable for carrying out the method.

Abstract:
An ultrasonic image scanning system for scanning an organic object includes a container for containing a coupling medium for transmitting an ultrasonic signal to the organic object disposed therein whereby a simultaneous multiple direction scanning process may be carried out without physically contacting the organic object. The ultrasonic image scanning system further includes ultrasound transducers for transmitting the ultrasonic signal to the organic object through the coupling medium without asserting an image deforming pressure to the organic object. These transducers distributed substantially around a two-dimensional perimeter of the container and substantially at symmetrical angular positions at approximately equal divisions of 360 degrees over a two-dimensional perimeter of the container. The transducers are further movable over a vertical direction alone sidewalls of the container for a real time three dimensional (3D) image data acquisition. The container further includes sidewalls covered with a baffle layer for reducing an acoustic reverberation.

A longitudinal vibrator assembly comprising at least one piezoceramic, magnetostrictive or electrostrictive transducer (130) having a coaxial housing (200a, 200b or 200c) comprised of at least one slotted or complete cylindrical flexural member vibrating in a circumferential or radial direction and excited by a solid state transduction material.
Abstract:
A transmitter arrangement for a sonar active transmit-receive system in which the transducer is controlled to provide a wave front which is more coherent in phase and power by the use of a feedback control signal from the transducers. The transducers are also made to have a constant output impedance which is of a relatively low value.
Abstract:
The specification discloses an underwater sonic beacon for marking the location of metallic structures such as underwater wellheads. The sonic beacon is powered by a galvanic cell formed by the water as the electrolyte, the metallic structure as one electrode, and a galvanic anode spaced from the metallic structure as the other electrode. An electronic oscillator circuit and electroacoustic transducer are connected as the load on the galvanic cell. The sonic beacon is provided extended lifetime by sequentially activated anodes which produce continuous electrical power.
