Abstract: The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a frequency characteristic analysis circuit, a filter setting circuit, and a filter processing circuit. The frequency characteristic analysis circuit performs a frequency analysis on a first reception signal corresponding to a region of interest of each depth, and acquires a frequency characteristic of each depth. The filter setting circuit sets a reception filter of each depth based on the acquired frequency characteristic of each depth such that the acquired frequency characteristic of each depth shows a predetermined frequency characteristic. The filter processing circuit applies the set reception filter of each depth to a second reception signal corresponding to the region of interest of each depth, the second reception signal being after the first reception signal, and converts the second reception signal into a third reception signal corresponding to the region of interest of each depth.

Abstract: The current document is directed to various types of oscillating resonant modules (“ORMs”), including linear-resonant vibration modules, that can be incorporated in a wide variety of appliances, devices, and systems to provide vibrational forces. The vibrational forces are produced by back-and-forth oscillation of a weight or member along a path, generally a segment of a space curve. A controller controls each of one or more ORMs to produce driving oscillations according to a control curve or control pattern for the ORM that specifies the frequency of the driving oscillations with respect to time. The driving oscillations, in turn, elicit a desired vibration response in the device, appliance, or system in which the one or more ORMs are included. The desired vibration response is achieved by selecting and scaling control patterns in view of known resonance frequencies of the device, appliance, or system.
