    摘要: An ultrasonic detection device, including a substrate, sensing elements, a first test element, a first dummy element, at least one first common signal line, sensing signal lines, and at least one test signal line, is provided. The sensing elements, the first test element, and the first dummy element are located on the substrate. The first test element is located between the sensing elements and the first dummy element. Each of the sensing elements, the first test element, and the first dummy element includes an array of capacitive microelectromechanical ultrasonic transducers. The first common signal line is electrically connected to the sensing elements and the first test element. The sensing signal lines are electrically connected to the sensing elements. The test signal line is electrically connected to the first test element.

    摘要: Techniques for orientation determination cause emitters of a multi-sensor imaging apparatus to emit a first set of ultrasound signals; measuring arrival times and amplitudes of the first set of ultrasound signals; estimating initial locations of the sensors; pointing each of the sensors towards a center mass location; fitting an initial orientation to each of the sensors and to each of the emitters using a loss function; determining a coarse model based on the initial locations of the sensors and initial locations of the emitters; calculating a new location and a new orientation for each of the sensors and each of the emitters based on the coarse model and a second set of ultrasound signals; employing a full wave inversion to generate an updated model; and determining an orientation of each of the sensors and emitters based on the updated model. Embodiments may include filtering out outlier sensor-emitter pairs.

    摘要: The invention is directed to an ultrasound probe (1) configured to be operatively coupled to a cable (10), the cable (10) comprising a plurality of lanes adapted to carry signals between the ultrasound probe (1) and a data processing unit, which is adapted to process the signals, in particular to beamform the signals and to reconstruct ultrasound images of an imaging region. The ultrasonic probe (1) comprises a transducer head comprising a plurality of transducer elements, which are adapted to insonify the imaging region according to an insonification scheme and to receive ultrasound signals, and a controller adapted to, responsive to the information of a faulty lane from a fault detection module adapted to detect integrity of each of the plurality of lanes, redistribute and/or reconfigure the signals carried by the faulty lane onto one or more of the non-faulty lanes.
