Abstract: A washing apparatus to solve the problems in existing washing machines of a drain solenoid valve of a non-porous inner drum being prone to circuit failure and the requirement for the overall layout being excessively high. A drain valve group is configured such that a drain outlet can move and open merely under a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of a non-porous inner drum, without the need to electrically drive a valve core to move, so as to allow the non-porous inner drum to discharge water outwards, and the drain outlet can be reset and blocked under an elastic force, thus achieving no-power operation. When the drain valve group is configured on the non-porous inner drum, it is not necessary to consider the spatial layout and waterproofing of power elements and their circuits, reducing the drainage arrangement costs when the washing machine is equipped with a non-porous inner drum.

Abstract: A method for determining mechanical properties of tissue in an individual includes attaching a stretchable and/or flexible ultrasound imaging device to the individual. The imaging device includes at least a one-dimensional array of transducer elements that transmit ultrasound waves into the individual. A first series of ultrasound waves are received from the tissue in the individual before applying a strain to the tissue by compression and a second series of ultrasound waves are received from the tissue after applying the compression to the tissue. Data from the first and second series of ultrasound waves are compared to obtain displacement data of the tissue from which strain data representing strain applied to the tissue is obtainable. A 2D image representing a 2D modulus distribution within the tissue is generated using the displacement data. One or more mechanical properties of the tissue is identified based on the 2D modulus distribution.
