- Ultrasonic motors
- An ultrasonic motor is proposed which uses two piezoelectric elements in the stator. One element is used to generate a vibration polarized with respect to the direction of motion of the rotor or the slider. The other one generates a vibration perpendicular to the motion of the rotor. By imaging the ratio of the vibration amplitudes and the phase, t....

- Feature extraction and learning decision rules from ultrasonic signals-applicability in non-destructive testing
- The author presents a supervised multiple-concept learning method for generating decision rules from a set of ultrasonic data for defect characterization purposes in nondestructive testing. The first step towards flaw discrimination is to extract relevant information from the collected defect signatures. The large-dimension signal space is mapped i....

- Analysis of liquid-phase-based sensors utilizing SH surface waves on rotated Y-cut quartz
- Surface shear horizontal (SH) wave propagation at the boundary of rotated Y-cut quartz with a viscous fluid is theoretically analyzed for liquid-phase-based sensor applications. Analytical expressions are obtained for the fractional velocity change and attenuation coefficient in terms of the material constants, liquid viscosity and density, and wav....

- Generalized Lamb-wave multisensor
- Integrated-circuit fabrication techniques were used to make a versatile silicon-based sensor that uses elastic wave propagation in a plate that is thin compared with the wavelength. In-plane tension raises the velocity of the lowest antisymmetric flexural wave (474 m/s) above that predicted for a pure Lamb wave (422 m/s). Because of the low velocit....

- Microscale mechanics for sensors and actuators
- Microscale mechanical structures have been conceived and fabricated that make possible a wide variety of microsensors and microdynamical moving elements. Miniature sensors and microscopic moving elements on a chip are made by standard integrated-circuit fabrication techniques, augmented with special etches and deposited films. An integrated audio m....

- Electromagnetic radiation from an AT-cut quartz plate under lateral-field excitation
- Equations of linear piezoelectricity (with the quasistatic approximation) for the plate and Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field in the surrounding vacuum are solved for the thickness-shear vibrations of an AT-cut quartz plate. For an AT-cut plate vibrating near the thickness-shear resonance excited by a uniform, lateral electric field....

- Ion beam milled acousto-optic Bragg cells
- The author reports the progress made on the development of acousto-optic Bragg cells for use in the 2-3-GHz range. These devices can satisfy a number of one- and two-dimensional analog signal processing applications, including power spectrum, cross ambiguity and Wigner functions, beamforming and matrix transforms. The transducer structure consists ....

- High performance wideband Bragg cells
- High-performance wideband Bragg cells suited to EW receiver applications were developed using L[111] and S[110] modes in GaP. Efficiency enhancement was demonstrated using a planar phased array design. Demonstrated results include a 1-GHz bandwidth device with a diffraction efficiency of 100 % per RF watt. The unified theory of IMPs (intermodulati....

- Integrated acoustooptic device modules in LiNbO/sub 3/ for digital data processing
- A titanium-indiffusion proton-exchange waveguide microlens has been utilized to construct a multichannel integrated acoustooptic module which simultaneously utilizes acoustooptic (AO) and electrooptic (EO) Bragg diffractions in a common LiNbO/sub 3/ substrate. The module consists of a channel-waveguide array, a planar waveguide, a linear microlens ....

- Pulsed photothermal spectroscopy with near-field detection
- The author investigated the conditions under which pulsed photothermal spectroscopy may be practised using near-field detection of deformation or temperature. It is shown that there are several ways to do this, with accessible ranges of absorption coefficient differing somewhat. As with previous photoacoustic/photothermal spectroscopies, spectrosco....
