    摘要: An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus for raising tissue temperature for hypothermic treatments, including an ultrasonic source for generating an ultrasonic treatment wave and a driving means for driving the ultrasonic source such that a frequency of the ultrasonic treatment wave generated by the ultrasonic source changes with time. The frequency of the ultrasonic treatment wave is changed along the time axis. By this change in frequency, some bubbles formed by cavitation as a result of the ultrasonic treatment wave are divided, and some bubbles are collapsed and therefore eliminated. Side effect cavitation and spread of a thermal degeneration area is suppressed, and thermal degeneration can be accurately induced in a desired area, thereby realizing a reliable, safe ultrasonic thermotherapy. Since cavitation is positively suppressed, the total treatment period can be shortened because cavitation would otherwise interfere with and slow down the thermal degeneration process. Therefore, treatment throughput can be improved as compared with a case in which cavitation is left to naturally break and disappear.

    摘要: A driving circuit controls a time for applying a drive signal to a piezoelectric element so as to bring a control in the number of ink droplets squirted from a liquid surface of liquid ink according to a gray scale level of an image to be printed on a printed object. According to application of the drive signal, acoustic waves emitted from a piezoelectric element array are focused in a main scanning direction, made incident to an acoustic lens via an acoustic matching layer, further focused in a direction orthogonal to the main scanning direction and focused in a vicinity of the liquid surface in a point form. In the vicinity of the liquid surface, an ink liquid mound is formed by means of pressure (discharging pressure) generated by the focused acoustic waves and then from a tip of the ink liquid mound an ink droplet according to the application time is squirted. The squirted ink droplet is ejected and stuck to the printed object. By performing main and subscanning to the printed object, a two-dimensional image is printed thereon.
