20130158409 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING ANALOG BEAMFORMING - A method and apparatus for performing analog beamforming is provided. According to the method and apparatus, the analog beamforming is effectively performed by using as small a number of devices as possible and by processing a relatively small amount of data. | 06-20-2013 |
20130226000 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ULTRASONIC IMAGE - Provided is an ultrasonic image generating apparatus that may generate an ultrasonic image by using an ultrasonic transducer which has a wideband frequency transfer characteristic or an ultra-wideband frequency transfer characteristic, such as a micromachined ultrasonic transducer (MUT). A pulse generator of the ultrasonic image generating apparatus may generate a first ultrasonic pulse having a first center frequency and a first bandwidth and a second ultrasonic pulse having a second center frequency and a second bandwidth. The ultrasonic transducer may simultaneously transmit the first ultrasonic pulse and the second ultrasonic pulse. | 08-29-2013 |
20130338506 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING 3-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND VOLUME SCANNING BY USING 2-DIMENSIONAL TRANSDUCER ARRAY - A method and apparatus for performing three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volume scanning by using a two-dimensional (2D) transducer array, in which a plurality of transducer elements are two-dimensionally arranged, including applying at least two codes which are orthogonal to each other to at least one one-dimensional (1D) transducer array which is included in the 2D transducer array, the 1D transducer array having transducer elements which are arranged linearly from among the plurality of the transducer elements; obtaining signals which respectively correspond to the codes which are orthogonal to each other from signals which are reflected by a target object and received by the plurality of transducer elements; and generating image data regarding the target object by using the obtained signals. | 12-19-2013 |
20130341303 | JIG, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, AND FLIP CHIP BONDING METHOD FOR CHIPS OF ULTRASOUND PROBE USING JIG - A jig includes a wafer including an accommodation groove configured to accommodate a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (cMUT) when flip chip bonding is performed, and a separation groove formed in a bottom surface of the accommodation groove, the separation groove having a bottom surface that is spaced apart from thin films of the cMUT that face the bottom surface of the separation groove when the cMUT is seated on portions of the bottom surface of the accommodation groove. | 12-26-2013 |
20140013850 | TRANSDUCER MODULE INCLUDING CURVED SURFACE FRAME, ULTRASONIC PROBE INCLUDING TRANSDUCER MODULE, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING CURVED SURFACE FRAME - A transducer module includes a curved surface frame which is formed from a flexible material in a curved shape and includes a front surface and a rear surface; a transducer which is disposed on the front surface; and a support frame which is mounted on the rear surface and supports the curved surface frame. | 01-16-2014 |
20140360274 | PORTABLE ULTRASONIC PROBE - A portable ultrasonic probe includes a main body including a transducer to generate an ultrasonic wave and a folder portion including a display portion and pivotally coupled to an end portion of the main body, the main body includes a first heat radiation module configured to absorb and emit heat generated by the transducer, and the folder portion includes a second heat radiation module thermally coupled to the first heat radiation module when the folder portion is in a first position and configured to emit heat transmitted from the first heat radiation module. | 12-11-2014 |
20140364741 | PORTABLE ULTRASONIC PROBE - Provided is a portable ultrasonic probe including a main body comprising a transducer configured to generate an ultrasonic wave, and a folder part comprising a display and rotatably coupled to an end portion of the main body, wherein the main body further comprises an analog to digital (AD) converter and a beamformer, the AD converter and the beamformer being provided in a chip. | 12-11-2014 |
20140364742 | ULTRASONIC PROBE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed herein is an ultrasonic probe capable of emitting heat generated by a transducer outside the ultrasonic probe using a heat radiation plate. The ultrasonic probe includes a transducer configured to generate an ultrasonic wave, a heat spreader provided on a surface of the transducer, the heat spreader being configured to absorb heat generated by the transducer, at least one heat radiation plate which contacts at least one side of the heat spreader, and at least one board installed on the at least one heat radiation plate so as to transfer heat generated by the at least one board to the at least one heat radiation plate. | 12-11-2014 |
