Focal volume, steering, and aberration correction in transcranial focused ultrasound: reconsidering the tradeoffs between single-element transducers, phased arrays, and acoustic holograms [PDF]
Transducer architecture is an increasingly important design consideration in transcranial focused ultrasound, where focal precision, electronic steering, skull-aberration correction, workflow complexity, and cost must be balanced. Under matched aperture,

Investigating the thermal stability of 1-3 piezoelectric composite transducers by varying the thermal conductivity and glass transition temperature of the polymeric filler material [PDF]
The thermal behaviour of a number of 1-3 piezoelectric composite transducers is discussed. In particular, devices manufactured from a polymer filler with a relatively high glass to rubber transition temperature (T-g), and from polymer systems with ...

Tapered transmission line technique based graded matching layers for thickness mode piezoelectric transducers [PDF]
Conventionally, in order to acoustically match thickness mode piezoelectric transducers to a low acoustic impedance load medium, multiple quarter wavelength (QW) matching layers are employed at the front face of the device.

Reproducibility of shear wave elastography among operators, machines, and probes in an elasticity phantom [PDF]
Purpose This study was aimed to investigate the reproducibility of shear wave elastography (SWE) among operators, machines, and probes in a phantom, and to evaluate the effect of depth of the embedded inclusions and the accuracy of the measurements ...

Study of the optimal active control of a trombone
In the brass instrument family, the sound can be modified or attenuated using a mute, which is usually inserted in the bell of the instrument. The objective of this paper is to study the principle and the technological feasibility of an active mute using
