The superior properties of specific ionic liquids (ILs), such as negligible volatility, high thermal stability, flexible designability, and their affinity to capture CO2, make them an attractive alternative chemical physical solvents that are currently used in CO2 processes. However, a limitation use ILs for industrial is viscosity compared conventional solvents, which leads lower rate higher p...

A statistical associating fluid theory for potential of variable range has been recently developed to model dipolar fluids (SAFT-VR+D) [Zhao and McCabe, J. Chem. Phys. 2006, 125, 104504]. The SAFT-VR+D equation explicitly accounts for dipolar interactions and their effect on the thermodynamics and structure of a fluid by using the generalized mean spherical approximation (GMSA) to describe a re...

INTRODUCTION New fast and efficient multi-channel ultrasonic echo measurement systems are currently introduced for practical applications in NDT-CE [ 1, 2]. The acquired multi-offset data are currently processed and imaged by the synthetic aperture focussing technique (SAFT, see e.g. [ 3, 4]). The application of SAFT, which is closely related to the seismic Kirchhoff migration method, is succes...

3D ultrasonic inspection equipment “Matrixeye” can visualize defects as 3D image with good resolution by the 3D SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) imaging method. High-speed 3D SAFT imaging process can be achieved by the developed parallel signal process of the ultrasonic echo data collected by a linear or a matrix-array ultrasonic probe. It has the following features. •3D image with ...

We propose a GPU-accelerated implementation of frequency-domain synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) employing truncated regularized inverse k-space interpolation. Our achieves sub-1s reconstruction time for data sizes up to 100 M voxels, providing more than tenfold decrease in as compared CPU-based SAFT. provide an empirical model that can be used predict the execution quasi-3D any siz...

Acoustic-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (ARPAM) plays an important role in studying the microcirculation system of biological tissues with deep penetration. High lateral resolution of ARPAM is achieved by using a high numerical aperture acoustic transducer. The deteriorated lateral resolution in the out-of-focus region can be alleviated by synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT). Prev...

The synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is often used for imaging in non-destructive ultrasonic testing. Conventional SAFT is well suited for contact testing of homogeneous objects because of the constant sound speed throughout the media, whereas the refraction present in the practically important case of immersion tests has so far prevented a widespread use of SAFT for such data. Fort...
