Event Triggering in Phased-Array Systems - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296825 titled 'Event Triggering in Phased-Array Systems
Abstract: The patent application discusses creating near-instantaneous effects in a phased-array system by splitting the update process of the array state into parts that depend on different update rates. Alternatively, leveraging the uncertainty of physical properties of focusing in a phased-array system may improve the intersection between the body part and the control point.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Splitting the update process of the array state into parts with different update rates.
- Leveraging the uncertainty of physical properties of focusing to improve the intersection between the body part and the control point.
- Focusing behind or in front of the intended region to address a larger volume of space that contains the body part participating in the interaction.
- Subjecting the larger volume to ultrasonic radiative energy flux encoding desired properties for the interaction point.
Potential Applications:
- Medical imaging and diagnostics.
- Non-invasive therapeutic treatments.
- Industrial testing and inspection.
Problems Solved:
- Enhancing the precision and speed of phased-array systems.
- Improving the accuracy of focusing in interactions with body parts.
Benefits:
- Faster and more precise effects in phased-array systems.
- Enhanced targeting and interaction with body parts.
- Improved efficiency in medical and industrial applications.
Commercial Applications: Ultrasonic equipment manufacturers can integrate this technology into their products to offer more advanced and efficient solutions for medical imaging, therapeutic treatments, and industrial testing.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does splitting the update process of the array state improve the performance of phased-array systems? 2. What are the potential challenges in leveraging the uncertainty of physical properties of focusing in a phased-array system?
Original Abstract Submitted
creating near-instantaneous effects in a phased-array system may occur by splitting the update process of the array state into parts that depend on different update rates. alternatively, leveraging the uncertainty of physical properties of focusing in a phased-array system may improve the intersection between the body part and the control point. specifically, by focusing behind or in front of the intended region or at a position with a calculated geometric relationship to the intended interaction region, a larger volume (region) of space is addressed that more certainly contains the body part participating in the interaction. this larger volume is then subjected to the ultrasonic radiative energy flux that encodes the properties desired for the interaction point, which may include haptic and/or audio points.
