  • Patent number: 11112387
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for measuring a wideband loop sensitivity SL(f) for an acoustic transducer in an acoustic probe. A pulse signal is employed as a wideband reference signal Vr(t); and, in a pulse-echo measurement a corresponding wideband echo signal Ve(t) is obtained. A normalized loop frequency response {circumflex over (X)}(f) for the acoustic transducer is defined as a ratio of a Fourier Transform of the Ve(t) to a Fourier Transform of the Vr(t). A wideband loop sensitivity SL(f) for the acoustic transducer is defined as an absolute square of the {circumflex over (X)}(f) in decibel.

  • Patent number: 10333259
    Abstract: A power distribution unit comprising at least two conductors, a plurality of outlets, a plurality of indicator lights, an AC-DC conversion circuit, and a control circuit is provided. Each outlet is electrically coupled to two of the conductors. Each indicator light corresponds to one of the outlets. The input of the AC-DC conversion circuit is electrically coupled to two of the conductors. The control circuit is electrically coupled to the indicator lights and the output of the AC-DC conversion circuit. The control circuit is configured for sequentially driving the indicator lights, and is configured for controlling, according to the group information of each grouped outlet, a corresponding indicator light to display a corresponding color of a group to which the grouped outlet belongs.

  • Patent number: 6595058
    Abstract: A method and/or an apparatus for determining the dynamic response of a microstructure is disclosed. A piezocomposite ultrasonic transducer device formed of a piezoelectric material and a polymer material around said piezoelectric ceramic material is used to provide a pulsed bulk acoustic wave having a bandwidth of at least 20% to excite a microstructure. The microstructure is attached onto the transducer, and the pulsed bulk acoustic wave generated through the transducer in response to a pulse voltage excites the microstructure to vibrate. Meanwhile, the dynamic response of the microstructure can be monitored by a laser Doppler vibrometer, and shown by an oscilloscope.
