Cell separation from a heterogenous mixture sample is an essential process for downstream analysis in biological, chemical, and clinical applications. This study demonstrates an integrated hybrid device of the viscoelastic focusing in a straight rectangular channel and subsequent size-based separation using acoustophoresis to attain high efficiency and separation tunability. For particle pre-alignment in a viscoelastic fluid, the flow rate higher than 10 μl/min was required. Surface acoustic wave-based lateral migration of particles with different sizes (13 and 27 ㎛) was examined at various applied voltages and flow rate conditions. Therefore, the flow rate of 100 μl/min and the applied voltage of 20 V_pp can be used for size-based particle separation.

본 연구에서는 수 파장 이상의 깊이에 존재하는 결함을 탐상하기 위하여 50MHz의 중심주파수에서 동작하는 small aperture형 초음파현미경을 구성하였고 다층구조 샘플에 대한 영상을 연구분석하였다. 다층구조물에서의 출력특성을 음향감쇠, 수차, 렌즈형태, 샘플의 특성에 영향을 받으며 이것은 다층구조 I.C.와 bonding층 탐상에 이용할 수 있다. 실험결과, small aperture형 초음파현미경은 large aperture형 시스템에 비하여 두꺼운 샘플의 탐상에 유리하며 타 도구에서 관찰이 어려운 다층구조의 층별 탐상과 내부구조의 변형상태등을 2차원 영상으로 탐상할 수 있는 유용한 도구임을 확인하였다.

표면 탄성파 가스센서는 소자의 크기가 작고, 값이 싸며, 가스에 대한 감도가 매우 높고 소자의 신뢰도가 높은 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는, $LiTaO_3$ 단결정 압전기판 위에 이중지연선을 갖는 표면 탄성파 $NO_2$ 가스센서를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제조된 IDT의 커패시턴스는 79.3MHz의 주파수에서 326.34pF였다. 임피던스 매칭이 된 IDT의 반사손실은 79.3MHz의 주파수에서 최대인 -16.74dB로 나타났다. SAW 발진기를 성하여 고주파증폭기의 이득을 적절히 조정함으로써 안정된 발진이 이루어짐을 확인하였다. SAW 발진기의 $NO_2$ 가스에 대한 발진주파수의 변이는 28Hz/ppm으로 나타났다.

쐐기형 전극 사이에 열처리전 비정질 ($Fe_{1-x}$ $Co_{x}$ )$_{89}$ $Zr_{ 11}$ (x=0~1.0) 자성막이 증착된 MSAW 소자를 구성하고 외부 인가자기장에 의한 MSAW 속도변화율을 조사하였다. 그 결과 MSAW 속도변화율은 직류 인가자기장, 구동주파수, 자성막의 두께 및 조성에 민감하게 의존하였으며, 특히 구동주파수 및 자성막의 두께가 증가할수록 증가함을 확인하였다. 열처리전 시편에서 나타난 최대 속도변화율은 x=0.8에서 얻어진 0.062%였다.

Purpose: Focused ultrasound is an emerging technology for treating the brain locally in a noninvasive manner. In this study, we have investigated the influence of skull properties on simulating transcranial pressure field. Methods: A 3D computational model of transcranial focused ultrasound was constructed using female and male CT data to solve for intracranial pressure. For heterogeneous model, the acoustic properties were calculated from CT Hounsfield units based on a porosity. The homogeneous model assigned constant acoustic properties for the single-layered skull. Results: A computational model was validated against empirical data. The homogeneous models were then compared with the heterogeneous model, resulted in 10.87% and 7.19% differences in peak pressure for female and male models respectively. For the focal volume, homogeneous model demonstrated more than 94% overlap compared with the heterogeneous model. Conclusion: Homogeneous model can be constructed using MR images that are commonly used for the segmentation of the skull. We propose the possibility of the homogeneous model for the simulating transcranial pressure field owing to comparable focal volume between homogeneous model and heterogeneous model.

The examination needle used in ultrasound biopsy is a medical device used to determine whether there is an abnormality in the tissue. Typically, stainless steel is the standard material used for such needles; however, this study wanted to identify a material that could better enhance sound compared to traditional stainless steel. In this study, six types of needle materials available with the biopsy gun were inserted into pork and ultrasound images according to the curved probe and linear probe were evaluated using ultrasound equipment. The findings revealed significant improvements in ultrasound acoustic enhancement with alternative materials compared to stainless steel (p<0.05). The results regarding the depth of each ultrasound image using the curved probe showed that tungsten and brass had high sound enhancement(p<0.05), while with the linear probe, sound enhancement was high in brass, pla, aluminum, and copper(p<0.05). Due to these results, the previously used stainless needle showed lower ultrasound acoustic enhancement than the five types of materials being compared. Consequently, the outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for the development of new needle technologies aimed at minimizing patient risks and improving diagnostic accuracy.

In this experimental research, fracture mechanisms of spheroidal graphite cast iron (As Cast, annealed and normalized) were investigated by using Acoustic Emission (AE) technique. In this study, the data (AE signal) are digitized and processed with the 8 bits micro-computer (APPLE II) connected to the AE measuring device without data processing unit. The source of AE signal was estimated by fractography analysis. The results obtained in this experimental study are summarized as follows : For the heterogeneous materials (spheroidal graphite cast iron) with inclusions which may considered as cracks, it is found that low and high AE amplitude appear simultaneously and the load is found to be fluctuated in the final stage of deformation. But the lad is not fluctuated in tension test with low AE amplitude only. AE is measured within elastic region and it is confirmed that 0.2% offset yield load agrees approximately with the load point where AE counts decrease steeply after the point of maximum AE counts.

An in-line dispersive delay line (DDL) demands low and controllable reflectivity of the reflectors, especially if the surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagates all the way along the reflecting structure. The metal reflectors are usually too strong and introduce too much attenuation in such a device. The proposed solution of this problem is to spatially separate the acoustic channels for different frequencies with the help of Fan-shaped Transducers (FIDT) and to use narrow open metal reflectors to reduce reflectivity. Special arrangement of FIDT is performed to use 180-deg. reflection of the SAW. Narrow open metal strips with a metallisation ratio of the order of 20% are used as reflectors with small and controllable reflectivity. Reflectivity of such strips is estimated both theoretically and experimentally. Experimental performance of the proposed DDL is presented.
