A noncontacting technique for measuring surface tension of liquids
We have developed a novel instrument for measuring the surface tension of liquids. It utilizes ultrasonic and optical methods to excite and detect a capillary wave packet. A focused ultrasonic transducer is used to generate a mound on the surface of a liquid. Capillary waves propagate radially outward from the mound, and a noncontacting confocal optical microscope measures the amplitude of the ...
متن کاملMeasuring tongue shapes and positions with ultrasound imaging: a validation experiment using an articulatory model.
OBJECTIVE The goal of this paper is to assess the validity of various metrics developed to characterize tongue shapes and positions collected through ultrasound imaging in experimental setups where the probe is not constrained relative to the subject's head. PATIENTS AND METHODS Midsagittal contours were generated using an articulatory-acoustic model of the vocal tract. Sections of the tongue...
متن کاملAn automated technique for measuring hippocampal volumes from MR imaging studies.
We describe an automated volumetric measure of the hippocampus obtained with software called the Knowledge-Guided MRI Analysis Program (KGMAP). Postmortem MR images from 56 participants in the Nun Study were used to validate the measure. KGMAP-determined volumes strongly correlated with those obtained with manual tracings and neurofibrillary pathologic findings of Alzheimer disease in the hippo...
متن کاملContinuous-wave ultrasound reflectometry for surface roughness imaging applications.
BACKGROUND Measurement of surface roughness irregularities that result from various sources such as manufacturing processes, surface damage, and corrosion, is an important indicator of product quality for many nondestructive testing (NDT) industries. Many techniques exist, however because of their qualitative, time-consuming and direct-contact modes, it is of some importance to work out new exp...
متن کاملScanning Michelson interferometer for imaging surface acoustic wave fields.
A scanning homodyne Michelson interferometer is constructed for two-dimensional imaging of high-frequency surface acoustic wave (SAW) fields in SAW devices. The interferometer possesses a sensitivity of ~10(-5)nm/ radicalHz , and it is capable of directly measuring SAW's with frequencies ranging from 0.5 MHz up to 1 GHz. The fast scheme used for locating the optimum operation point of the inter...
