  • Publication number: 20240091516
    Abstract: An acoustic tweezer is disclosed. The acoustic tweezer includes a function signal generator configured to generate a function signal for an ultrasound signal, a power amplifier configured to amplify the ultrasound signal based on the function signal, and an ultrasound transducer of a single channel in which a hologram thin film having different thin film thicknesses for each region is attached to an ultrasound oscillating surface of the ultrasound transducer, and the ultrasound transducer is configured to generate a plurality of ultrasound signals having different phase differences by allowing an oscillated ultrasound signal to pass through the hologram thin film.

  • Patent number: 11739188
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a photoacoustic ultrasound generator includes forming an uncured prepolymer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film on a substrate, spraying a solution of light-absorbing nano-particles onto a surface of the uncured PDMS film, and then permeating and diffusing the light-absorbing nano-particles into the uncured PDMS film; and curing the uncured PDMS film containing the light-absorbing nano-particles distributed therein to form a composite film of nano-particles and PDMS.

  • Publication number: 20220387826
    Abstract: The tissue removal device using focused ultrasound includes a focused ultrasound output unit, a mode setting unit to set an output mode of the focused ultrasound, and a control unit to control output characteristics of the focused ultrasound according to the set mode, wherein the output mode is selected from a first mode for removing a tissue in a local area using a vapor bubble formed by the focused ultrasound, a second mode for removing a tissue in a narrower area than the first mode by controlling the output characteristics of the focused ultrasound immediately after the vapor bubble is formed by the focused ultrasound, and a third mode for obtaining a skin tightening effect by generating heating in a subcutaneous fat layer using focused ultrasound of lower intensity and a longer pulse length than the first mode and the second mode.
