    摘要: An apparatus (100) for detecting acoustic reflections that arise from within a tube and body conduit, the tube having a proximal end and a distal end, the apparatus coupled to the proximal end, the distal end of the tube inserted into the body conduit, the apparatus comprising: a sound generator (104) positioned to generate a sound signal in the tube; a sensor (106) for detecting a sound signal in the tube at a distal position relative to the sound generator, and for generating a signal corresponding to the detected sound signal; and a compliant tube (108) aligned with the sensor and configured to transmit sound pressure waves from within the compliant tube to the sensor.

    摘要: An apparatus for acoustically detecting the location of a distal end of a tube relative to a body conduit into which the tube is being inserted is provided. The apparatus including a speaker positioned to generate a sound pulse in the tube and a sensor for detecting a sound pulse in the tube at a distal position relative to the speaker, and for generating a signal corresponding to the detected sound pulse.
