  • Publication number: 20240138812
    Abstract: An ultrasonic wave generation device including: an ultrasonic wave generation source; an ultrasonic wave condensation part; and a waveguide. The ultrasonic wave condensation part has a first reflection surface opposed to the ultrasonic wave generation source and a second reflection surface opposed to the first reflection surface. The first reflection surface reflects the ultrasonic wave, generated from the ultrasonic wave generation source, toward the second reflection surface. The second reflection surface reflects the ultrasonic wave, which has been reflected by the first reflection surface, toward the waveguide so as to introduce the ultrasonic wave into the waveguide. The waveguide protrudes from the first reflection surface to a side opposite the second reflection surface. A recessed portion is formed from the first reflection surface to the second reflection surface side along an outer circumferential surface of the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 8127620
    Abstract: Various means for detecting the load on the bottom of a bed are proposed, but they have various problems, since the load sensor is provided separately from a bed or installed outside a bed. This invention solves the abovementioned problems by a load sensor-containing actuator in which one end side of a screw shaft 1 is rotatably supported by a base body 2; a female threaded member 3 is engaged with the screw shaft; and an actuation rod body 4 fixed to the female threaded member can advance and retreat in the axial direction of the screw shaft, wherein the base body is provided with a thrust bearing 6 coaxially with the screw shaft and an actuation cylinder 7 supporting the one end side of the screw shaft in the axial direction via the thrust bearing; a detection cylinder 9 is provided between the actuation cylinder and a support member 8 for the base body; and a strain gauge 10 is attached to the outside surface of the detection cylinder.
