  2. GAF Nomad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAF_Nomad

    The twin-turboprop, high-wing aircraft has a retractable gear and came in two variants: the initial N22, followed by the stretched N24. Supported by the Australian Government, design work began in the mid-1960s, and it made its maiden flight on 23 July 1971. Despite some export sales and commercial operations, sales were not sufficient and ...

  3. Non-contact ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Contact_Ultrasound

    However, in non-contact ultrasound, ambient air is the only acoustic coupling medium. An electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT), is a type of non-contact ultrasound that generates an ultrasonic pulse which reflects off the sample and induces an electric current in the receiver. This is interpreted by software and provides clues about the ...

  4. Ultrasonic transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_transducer

    A curvilinear array ultrasonic transducer for use in medical ultrasonography Inside construction of a Philips C5-2 128 element curved array ultrasound sensor. Ultrasonic transducers and ultrasonic sensors are devices that generate or sense ultrasound energy. They can be divided into three broad categories: transmitters, receivers and transceivers.

  5. Ultrasonic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_testing

    Reflected ultrasound comes from an interface, such as the back wall of the object or from an imperfection within the object. The diagnostic machine displays these results in the form of a signal with an amplitude representing the intensity of the reflection and the distance, representing the arrival time of the reflection.

  6. Acousto-optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acousto-optics

    Acousto-optics is a branch of physics that studies the interactions between sound waves and light waves, especially the diffraction of laser light by ultrasound (or sound in general) through an ultrasonic grating. A diffraction image showing the acousto-optic effect.

  7. Phased array ultrasonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array_ultrasonics

    By changing the pulse delays, the computer can scan the beam of ultrasound in a raster pattern across the tissue. Echoes reflected by different density tissue, received by the transducers, build up an image of the underlying structures. Weld examination by phased array. TOP: The phased array probe emits a series of beams to flood the weld with ...

  8. Mechanical index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_index

    Mechanical index (MI) is a unitless ultrasound metric. It is defined as [1] =, where P r is the peak rarefaction pressure of the ultrasound wave , derated by an attenuation factor to account for in-tissue acoustic attenuation; f c is the center frequency of the ultrasound pulse .

  9. Focused ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focused_ultrasound

    These techniques are known as Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) [31] [32] and Ultrasound guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (USgFUS) respectively. [ 1 ] [ 33 ] MRgFUS is a 3D imaging technique which features high soft tissue contrast and provides information about temperature, thus allowing to monitor ablation.
