A novel method of muscular thickness measurement based on reflection echo from the boundary surface of different layer of target area using ultrasonic wave is presented. By exploring the traveling direction of ultrasonic wave at the interface of fat-muscle or muscle-fat, the difference of the generated reflection echo can be measured. In the proposed method, ultrasonic waves were irradiated to a biological...
This paper describes a seminiferous tubules evaluation using an ultrasonic probe. In this system, we evaluate a diameter of seminiferous tubules for azoospermia patients. We employ a 5.0MHz ultrasonic single probe. In the experiment, we employ large and small nylon lines as the healthy and unhealthy seminiferous tubules. We made ball shape phantom from small and large lines in total 24. We acquire...
This paper describes a trans-skull ultrasonic system that measures the blood flow velocity in brain under skull. In this system, we use an ultrasonic array probe with the center frequency of 1.0 MHz. The system determines the blood flow and locate blood vessel by Doppler effect. This Doppler effect is examined by the center of gravity shift in the frequency domain. We use three silicon tubes of different...
This paper describes a testicular tubules evaluation using 1.0MHz ultrasonic array probe. In this system, we evaluate a diameter of testicular tubules. We employ an ultrasonic array probe with the center frequency of 1.0MHz. We employ evaluation index that cumulative relative frequency of amplitude values. In the experiment, we employ 24 nylon lines as the testicular tubules. Amplitude of large nylon...
This paper describes a home care system for elderly by four detached multi-sensor network. The sensor network detects several bio-signals in bed. It consists of the following four sensors. An ultrasonic sensor detects human motion. An optical fiber sensor detects respiration. A mat-type sensor detects heart rate and respiration, and heart rate accesses autonomous nerve system. A microphone detects...
This paper describes a trans-skull ultrasonic system that measures the blood flow velocity through the brain's blood vessel under skull. In this system, we use an ultrasonic array probe with the center frequency of 1.0MHz. The system determines the blood flow by Doppler effect. This Doppler effect is examined by the center of gravity shift in the frequency domain. We test the system in the condition...
This paper describes a method for a heartbeat and respiratory rate monitoring system using air pressure sensors and ultrasonic oscillosensor. By using these sensors, we propose a detection method of the state of human and an extraction method of heartbeat and respiratory rate in bed by fuzzy logic. Our method was examined on four healthy volunteers. We successfully detected the state of human and...
