Publication number: 20240139772Abstract: An effective bandwidth in a membrane based ultrasonic transducer is improved by a control element (C). The control element (C) is disposed on a first side (10a) of a first membrane (10) of the transducer to increase or decrease a displacement amplitude of the first membrane (10) towards the first side (10a) and/or the opposite, second side (10b). This induces a displacement asymmetry (Za< >Zb) in a motion of the first membrane (10) during a first vibration (V1) of the first membrane (10) to the first side (10a) compared to the second side (10b). The displacement asymmetry may result in improved bandwidth.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2020Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Paul Louis Maria Joseph VAN NEER, Arno Willem Frederik VOLKER, Hylke Broer AKKERMAN, Gerwin Hermanus GELINCK, Antonius Maria Bernardus VAN MOL

Publication number: 20230408452Abstract: An acoustic microscope system is described that includes a container for holding a medium with an object to be measured. Compressional waves are generated by a probe into the medium. The compressional waves travel along an acoustic axis to interact with the object. Shear waves are generated by a shear wave source into the medium. The shear waves travel along a secondary axis which intersects with the acoustic axis at the object with a non-zero angle. The shear waves are configured to cause shear wave oscillations directed transverse to the secondary axis and at least partially directed along the acoustic axis. A measurement of the object is determined based on the compressional waves having interacted with the object as a function of the generation of the shear waves.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Paul Louis Maria Joseph VAN NEER, Maurits Sebastiaan VAN DER HEIDEN, Michiel Peter ODERWALD

Patent number: 11749251Abstract: A method and system for controlling an array of piezoelectric transducers (11, 12, 13). Respective driving signals (Vn) are applied to the transducers. The driving signals (Vn) comprise an alternating component (A) oscillating at one or more driving frequencies to cause corresponding vibrations in the transducers for generating acoustic waves (Wn). One or more of the driving signals (Vn) are offset by a respective bias voltage (Bn). The bias voltage (Bn) is controlled to reduce a difference in resonance frequencies between the transducers. To eliminate any remaining difference, the alternating component (A) to at least a subset of the transducers (11,12) is periodically reset. In this way the phases of the resulting acoustic waves (W1,W2) can be synchronized.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek TNOInventors: Hylke Broer Akkerman, Paul Louis Maria Joseph Van Neer, Arno Willem Frederik Volker
