Abstract: The invention is based on speed changes of sound/ultrasound pulses and a fixed detecting depth between a transducer and sampling points to collect information of the detecting depth and/or a velocity of motionless and/or moving objects from the sampling points to construct two-dimension or three-dimension images of the sampling points. By taking advantages of a pulse ultrasound and a continuous ultrasound, a method of coded sound pulses can simultaneously collect the information of the detecting depth and the velocity from the sampling points, which improves imaging quality. Calculating a speed of the moving objects by simultaneously detecting time-of-flight (TOF) and TOF shift at same site from two separated piezoelectric (PZT) elements improves testing results with accuracy, simplification and reproducibility. An aliasing can be rectified based on the TOF and the TOF shift.

Abstract: An adjustable airless tire system with changeable supporting structures optimizes the contradictory relationship between a suspension potential and a tension of a tire according to changes of road conditions. The changeable supporting structures can be selected from one of three separated and compatible parts, including metallic rods, or springs or spring-loaded shock absorbers according to customer's requirements and usage of a vehicle. A metallic cable is used to maximize the suspension potential of the tire and a control component is used to regulate the tension of the tire. A curved tire forms a closed space between the tire and a rim to prevent foreign objects from sticking between them. Therefore, the invention possesses advantages of oil efficiency, affordability, comfortability, controllability and safety.
