摘要： The present disclosure relates to a system and method for actively detecting an ingress of a medical probe. In accordance with certain embodiments, a method includes monitoring, with a sensor within a medical probe, an internal environment of the medical probe, detecting, with the sensor, at least one of a temperature, pressure, humidity, or concentration of a gas within the medical probe, determining, with a processor that is in communication with the sensor, whether a seal that hermetically seals the medical probe has failed as a function of at least one of the temperature, pressure, humidity, or concentration of the gas, and outputting, with the processor, a notification that indicates whether the seal has failed.

摘要： An example method involves detecting a sensor-testing trigger. Detecting the sensor-testing trigger may comprise determining that a vehicle is within a threshold distance to a target in an environment of the vehicle. The method also involves obtaining sensor data collected by a sensor of the vehicle after the detection of the sensor-testing trigger. The sensor data is indicative of a scan of a region of the environment that includes the target. The method also involves comparing the sensor data with previously-collected sensor data indicating detection of the target by one or more sensors during one or more previous scans of the environment. The method also involves generating performance metrics related to the sensor of the vehicle based on the comparison.

摘要： A sonar transducer system is provided having a display and a sonar transducer assembly having a transmitter configured to transmit sonar signals. The transmitter has a peak transmit sensitivity occurring at a first frequency. The sonar transducer assembly has a receiver configured to receive return sonar signals, with the receiver having a peak receive sensitivity occurring at a second frequency. The transmitter and the receiver share a same facing direction and are provided as physically separate components. At least one of the transmitter or the receiver is tuned so that the peak transmit sensitivity and the peak receive sensitivity occur at a same frequency. The sonar transducer assembly is configured to improve the peak transmit sensitivity and/or the peak receive sensitivity to generate a sonar image having a greater quality, and the sonar image may be presented on the display.

摘要： An ultrasound imaging system has an array of ultrasound transducers comprising a set of sub-arrays of transducers. Each transducer (100) has an analogue buffer (106). Each sub-array of transducers has a signal path (102, 104) from within the array of ultrasound transducers to outside the array of ultrasound transducers which comprises one or more hops between the buffers (106). To reduce the signal line length from inside the array of ultrasound transducers to the periphery, at least some multiple hops between buffers (106) are provided. Each buffer hop introduces a delay, but prevents signal degradation so that a large number of analog signals can be transmitted across the large area ASIC of the transducer array.

摘要： A signal decode circuit is coupled to a buffer for each signal channel. A memory includes a shared area configured to store waveform data sets, each waveform data set including a sequence of coded waveform values specifying waveform step states. The shared area further stores delay data sets, each delay data set including a digital delay value for each signal channel defining a delay profile. A signal pointer addresses the shared area to read one waveform data set from the memory with the sequence of coded waveform values being selectively loaded into one or more of the buffers. A delay pointer addresses the shared area to read one delay data set from the memory with the digital delay values used to control delayed actuation of the signal decode circuits to decode the sequence of coded waveform values from the buffers and generate waveform signals in accordance with the delay profile.

摘要： Systems and methods for ultrafast imaging include: a memory having stored thereon a delay profile matrix and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) coupled with the memory. The delay profile matrix comprises a two-dimensional matrix in which each row corresponds to a delay profile at a particular depth. The FPGA is configured to: acquire radio frequency (RF) ultrasound data from a subject; load a delay profile from the delay profile matrix to a memory buffer of the FPGA, wherein the delay profile corresponds to a particular depth; read a first row of the RF ultrasound data based on a first delay value of the delay profile; generate beamformed data at the particular depth by beamforming the first row of RF ultrasound data; and generate an image of the subject based on the beamformed data.

摘要： An ultrasonic sensor includes a magnetic substance, a diaphragm, and an electromagnetic transducer. The electromagnetic transducer is disposed opposing the magnetic substance across an outer plate of a vehicle. The diaphragm has the shape of a thin film with a film thickness direction along an axial direction parallel to a directional axis. The diaphragm is able to ultrasonically oscillate by being joined to an outer surface of the outer plate at an outer edge in a radial direction crossing the directional axis. With the outer edge of the diaphragm joined to the outer surface of the outer plate, an internal space that expands and contracts along the axial direction in response to ultrasonic oscillation of the diaphragm is formed between the diaphragm and the outer surface of the outer plate.
