5 unusual facts about Ultrasound


Level sensor

Ultrasonic level sensors are used for non-contact level sensing of highly viscous liquids, as well as bulk solids.

Muni Sakya

Around 2004-2005, he developed a robot (known as the "Munis Robot") that can speak Nepali with the capability to discern obstacles by the help of built-in ultrasonic, infra red, mechanical whiskers, and other visual and audio devices.

Roger Sanders

He is a fellow of several different Societies in the field of Ultrasound, including the Society of Radiology in Ultrasound, the American College of Radiology, and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (the AIUM), the latter awarding him the Presidential Award in 1984, and the Joseph H. Holmes Pioneer Award in 2001.

Roger Cobbin Sanders (born June 17, 1936) is an American doctor specializing in Ultrasound and Radiology.

Time reversal signal processing

Some media are not reciprocal (e.g. very lossy or noisy media), but many very useful ones are approximately so, including sound waves in water or air, ultrasonic waves in human bodies, and electromagnetic waves in free space.


Acuson

Acuson was important enough in evolution of the obstetric ultrasound that the National Museum of American History took time in 1997 to document the history, development, commercialization and applications of the diagnostic ultrasound.

Alston's brown mouse

Both males and females produce vocalizations which are characterized by singing bouts containing both sonic and ultrasonic elements.

Atheroma

The National Institute of Health did a five–year $5 million study, headed by medical researcher Kenneth Ouriel, to study intravascular ultrasound techniques regarding atherosclerotic plaque.

Bioacoustics

Katydid crickets, for example, communicate by sounds with frequencies higher than 100 kHz, far into the ultrasound range.

ELX

Ellex Medical Lasers, an Australian manufacturer of ophthalmic lasers and ultrasound devices

Female foeticide in India

In 2001, the Supreme Court in India gave orders to five multi-national companies — Philips, Siemens, Toshiba, Larsen and Toubro and Wipro GE — to give them the names and addresses of all the clinics and persons in India to whom they have sold ultrasound machines in the last five years to enable the state government to find out if these machines were registered.

George Ludwig

George Döring Ludwig, M.D. (January 4, 1922 – November 24, 1973) was an American professor of medicine and medical researcher noted for developing the first application of ultrasound to the human body for medical purposes, at the Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, in the late 1940s.

Gilbert Jerome Perlow

After his Ph.D thesis, he left Chicago to work for the Naval Ordnance Laboratory and the US Naval Research Laboratory, on the detection of submarine using ultrasounds as part of the war effort.

Ivan Mackerle

In his brief visit, he met another Loch Ness investigator, Robert H. Rines, and was impressed by his use of underwater photography and ultrasound.

Japanese lates

In February 2010, the first video of the akame living in its natural surroundings was broadcast on the BBC, in a report on the University of Tokyo's research project where akame are fitted with ultrasound tracking devices.

Kinjiro Okabe

In 1955, his interest turned to medical applications of ultrasound, and he suggested to Shigeo Satomura, one of his graduate students, that he apply Doppler ultrasound techniques to medical diagnosis.

Kirkland and District Hospital

Departmental laboratories include haematology, chemistry, blood bank and cryogenics sections and referred out microbiology, cytology and pathology services as well as diagnostic services including echocardiography, pulmonary function testing, exercise stress testing, radiography, mammography, ultrasound, doppler facilities and fetal monitoring capabilities.

Pinacol coupling reaction

In another system with benzaldehyde, Montmorillonite K-10 and zinc chloride in aqueous THF under ultrasound the reaction time is reduced to 3 hours (composition 55:45).

Roger Sanders

Eventually he became professor of Radiology, Urology, Obstetric, and Gynecology, as well as director of Ultrasound at the University.

Scientific research on the International Space Station

Prominent among these is the Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound in Microgravity study in which astronauts (including former ISS Commanders Leroy Chiao and Gennady Padalka) perform ultrasound scans under the guidance of remote experts.

Scott Dulchavsky

Dr. Dulchavsky is also on the management team for Mediphan Technologies, an ultrasound research company.

Tracey K

In 2004 "Lil' Hand" was released on Canadian label, Ultrasound Recordings, the album from which the house anthem, "The Cure and The Cause" was born.

Turtle Back Zoo

A $2 million on-site veterinary hospital includes a full surgery suite and x-ray and ultrasound facilities.

VIBOT

These modules were supplemented by the study of various types of image modalities such as: infra-red, ultrasonic, radio-isotopique and X-ray imagery, with an emphasis on their application to medical imagery.

Wavetable synthesis

Starting around 1993, with the introduction of Creative Labs' Sound Blaster AWE32 and Gravis' Ultrasound sound cards, the term "wavetable" started to be applied as a marketing term to any sound card that used PCM samples as the basis of sound creation.
