Some of the ultrasound waves are attenuated. That is, the body absorbs the ultrasound energy, making the waves disappear. These waves don't return to the probe and are therefore "wasted". The more the body tissues that the ultrasound waves have to cross, the more attenuation the waves suffe...

Ultrasound: Used to make medical diagnoses, ultrasound emitters let doctors examine internal organs and developing fetuses. SONAR: Sound waves bounce off of objects, and SONAR uses this property for underwater object location and navigation. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): This is a fan...
Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of an ultrasound system. In all such systems there is a multi-element transducer at the end of a relatively long (about 2-m) cable. Containing from 48 to 256 micro-coaxial cables, the cable is one of the most expensive parts of the system. In most...
Before we go and understand how the ultrasonic distance sensor works, we will first learn what ultrasound is: ultrasound sound is a high-pitched wave, in which the frequency of the wave exceeds the audible hearing range of humans. The audible range for humans is 20Hz to 20Khz, and t...

Speakers that need to produce high-frequency sounds (or ultrasound, well beyond the range of human hearing) sometimes use piezoelectric transducers, based on vibrating crystals, instead of the traditional magnetic coil setup. Often referred to as crystal loudspeakers or just "buzzers," they're ...
There are many different physical principles used to enable skin permeation and facilitate the transport of the pharmacological compound across the skin in TMD: chemical enhancers, diffusion, absorption, thermal energy, vibrational energy (ultrasound), electrostatic force (electrophoresis) or electric field...
two silver cylinders (ultrasonic transducers), one is the transmitter of the sound waves and the other is the receiver. To let the sensor generate a sonic burst, you need to set the Trig pin high for at least 10 µs. The sensor then creates an 8 cycle burst of ultrasound at 40 kHz...
