View page
US Patent:
6449821, Sep 17, 2002
Filed:
Aug 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/373083
Inventors:
Wojtek Sudol - Burlington MA
Francis E. Gurrie - North Andover MA
Assignee:
Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
H04R 1700
US Classification:
29 2535, 29852, 29830, 439 67, 439 77
Abstract:
A method for constructing a connection assembly for use in a multiple aperture ultrasonic tranducer including an array of elements for transmitting or receiving signals, wherein each element is comprised of a plurality of segments, and the connection assembly for interconnecting the segments of each elements and for connecting the segments to transmit/receive circuitsto form the aperatures of the array. An isolating layer is superimposed on the segments of the array and a plurality of via openings are formed through the isolating layer. At least one via opening being assocated with each segment of the array and each via opening exposing an area of an assocated segment. A conductive layer is superimposed on the isolating layer, the conductive layer having conduxtive paths interconnecting the segments and connecting the segments to the transmit/receive circuits to form the apertures of the array.

Ultrasonic Transducer Backing Assembly And Methods For Making Same

US Patent:
6625854, Sep 30, 2003
Filed:
Nov 23, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/448527
Inventors:
Wojtek Sudol - North Andover MA
Francis E. Gurrie - North Andover MA
Rodney J. Solomon - Andover MA
Alec Rooney - Eliot ME
Assignee:
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
H04R 1700
US Classification:
29 2535, 296091, 29594, 29830, 29831, 310 3
Abstract:
An acoustic backing element includes a glass fiber epoxy composite planar substrate to the outer major surfaces of which are applied electrically conductive material. The electrically conductive material may be a conductive layer that is etched to expose electrical contact material in the form of conductive traces. Each conductive trace provides electrical connection between a transducer element and electrical control circuitry typically located on an electrical circuit board. The acoustic backing element provides precisely located electrical contacts for connecting the transducer elements to their control circuitry, while simultaneously providing superior acoustic attenuation. In addition, the thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) of the glass fiber epoxy composite material comprising the planar substrate can be closely matched to the TCE of the electrical contact material. In this manner, fatigue and failure caused by mechanical stresses between the planar substrate and the electrical contact material due to temperature extremes and temperature cycling are significantly reduced.

US Patent:
6632179, Oct 14, 2003
Filed:
Jul 31, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/919122
Inventors:
Martha Grewe Wilson - Andover MA
Wojtek Sudol - Andover MA
Assignee:
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
A61B 800
US Classification:
600460
Abstract:
Acoustic imaging systems are provided. A preferred system includes a transducer lens configured to mate with a transducer body. The transducer lens is configured to propagate acoustic energy. Preferably, the transducer lens is formed, at least partially, of an acoustic-matching material, which exhibits acoustic properties corresponding to acoustic properties of a body to be imaged. Methods also are provided.

Two-Dimensional Transducer Arrays For Improved Field Of View

View page
US Patent:
7637869, Dec 29, 2009
Filed:
Jun 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/560722
Inventors:
Wojtek Sudol - Andover MA, US
Assignee:
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. - Eindhoven
International Classification:
A61B 8/00
US Classification:
600437, 600447, 600459, 367178
Abstract:
A method and system for using two-dimensional transducer arrays for improving the field of view during an ultrasonic examination are disclosed. The ultrasonic imaging system includes a two-dimensional transducer array with a plurality of acoustic elements, a beam controller, a signal processor, and a display. The beam controller controls a generated acoustic beam capable of being advanced longitudinally or laterally along the two-dimensional transducer array. Additionally, the generated acoustic beam is capable of being phase-shifted by the beam controller. Combining the phase shifting of and advancement of the acoustic beam increases the field of view of the two-dimensional array.
