Microultrasound Imaging of Tissue Dysplasia
… (LNO) and fabrication of novel ‘mass-spring’ matching layers using carefully controlled vacuum deposition is demonstrated. The effectiveness of this technique was quantified by applying multiple matching layers to 3 mm diameter 45 MHz LNO µUS transducers using carefully controlled vacuum …

Techniques for tailoring sonar transducer responses
… achieve wide bandwidth using quarter-wave matching layers. In this work the piezoelectric-tunable transducer is investigated as a possible alternative. This structure consists of a pair of ceramics, one of which is driven by a voltage source and the other has a passive electrical load. It …

Dynamics of Multi-functional Acoustic Holograms in Contactless Ultrasonic Energy Transfer Systems
… is the implementation of acoustic impedance matching layers deposited on the front leading surface of the transmitter and receiver transducers. Current UPT systems suffer from significant acoustic losses through the transmission line from a piezoelectric transmitter to an acoustic medium and …

Low noise techniques applied to a piezoceramic receiver for gas coupled ultrasonic flaw detection
… scanning without the requirement for transducer matching layers or electronic signal averaging.

Resonant-cavity-enhanced multispectral infrared photodetectors for monolithic integration on silicon
… films have been identified as the IR absorbing layers due to their high photosensitivity and fabrication flexibility; on the device side, we have established a universal design theory for multispectral detection and demonstrated fully functional mid-IR RCE photodetectors capable of monolithic …

Computation of electromagnetic fields in assemblages of biological cells using a modified finite difference time domain scheme. Computational electromagnetic methods using quasi-static approximate version of FDTD, modified Berenger absorbing boundary and Floquet periodic boundary conditions to investigate the phenomena in the interaction between EM fields and biological systems.
There is an increasing need for accurate models describing the electrical behaviour of individual biological cells exposed to electromagnetic fields. In this area of solving linear problem, the most frequently used technique for computing the EM field is the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) …
