  • Patent number: 11759171
    Abstract: An ultrasonic probe of an embodiment includes a vibrator, an acoustic matching layer, and a back layer. The vibrator includes a plurality of vibrating elements arranged in a first direction. The acoustic matching layer is formed on a living body side of the vibrator. The back layer is formed on a back side of the vibrator opposite the living body side. The plurality of vibrating elements are formed by being divided by first grooves passing through the vibrator and the back layer. Second grooves passing through the vibrating elements and penetrating into the back layer are provided in each of the vibrating elements. A penetration depth of the second grooves in a second direction in the back layer is less than a width of the second grooves in the first direction in the vibrating elements.

  • Patent number: 11633872
    Abstract: A processing apparatus includes a chuck table, a first and second image capturing units, a display device, and a controller. The first image capturing unit obtains a first image group of images captured of a processed groove in the workpiece at different positions along a thicknesswise direction, each including a piece of first image information representing a shape of the processed groove. The second image capturing unit obtains a second image group of images captured of the processed groove at different positions along the thicknesswise direction of the workpiece, each including a piece of second image information representing a shape of the processed groove. The controller orders the pieces of at least either the first or the second image information into a sequence along the thicknesswise direction, thereby generating a three-dimensional image of the processed groove, and displays the three-dimensional image on the display device.

  • Patent number: 11293384
    Abstract: This engine includes an EGR device. The engine is provided with: an EGR gas temperature sensor; an EGR valve; an EGR control unit; an EGR valve position detection unit; a diagnosis unit; a first timer; a second timer; and a diagnosis control unit. The diagnosis unit diagnoses whether the EGR gas temperature sensor has failed, on the basis of a detected value from the EGR gas temperature sensor. The first timer, when the EGR valve is open, performs counting in accordance with the passage of time. The second timer, if a count value of the first timer is greater than or equal to a first threshold value set in advance, and if a predetermined condition is satisfied, performs counting in accordance with the passage of time. The diagnosis control unit prohibits diagnosis by the diagnosis unit if a count value of the second timer is less than a second threshold value set in advance, and permits the diagnosis if the count value is greater than or equal to the second threshold value.
