Abstract:
The project we designed is used to develop a distance measurement system using ultrasonic waves and interfaced with Arduino UNO. We know that the human audible range is from 20hz to 20khz. We can use these frequency range waves through ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04. The main advantages of this sensor are when this sensor is interfaced with Arduino which is a control system and a sensing system, a proper calculation of the distance measurement can be done by using different types of new techniques. As huge amounts are spent on hundreds of inflexible circuit boards, the Arduino board will allow the business to bring many more unique devices. These distance measurement systems are mostly used as range meters and as proximity detectors in the different types of industries. The hardware part of the ultrasonic sensor is interfaced with the Arduino Uno board. This type of measuring distance is an efficient way to measure even small distances accurately. The distance of an object from the sensor is measured by using an ultrasonic sensor. After knowing the speed of the sound wave the distance of an object can be calculated.

Abstract:
Sonar is an abbreviation of (sound of ranging), which means the technique of spreading the sound for navigation and communicating or detecting other ships. Sonar can be applied to measure the distance of an object by reflecting ultrasonic waves to the object and then captured through the reciver. The ultrasonic wave is reflected by the SR04 sensor and uses Arduino Uno as a microcontroller where its distance is calculated. LCD is used to display measurement results so that it is easier to take height measurements. Arduino is a device that can be programmed and connected directly with an ultrasonic sensor used for measurements. The ultrasonic sensor is placed on a pole as high as 200 cm, and the distance of 200 cm is used as a benchmark measurement. Measurement using manual and digital can work well, but using digital level measurement speed is better than measuring using a manual.

Abstract:
Owing to the steep dose fall-off curves of high precision and accuracy radiation therapy (RT) modalities such as stereotactic body RT (SBRT), treatment plans with extraordinarily small margins to organs at risk (OARs), such as the spinal cord, has been made possible. With this development, patient movements during treatment, i.e. intrafraction motion (IFM), must be monitored more closely. This master thesis was aimed at developing an A-mode ultrasound prototype to detect the motions of the cervical spine as part of an IFM management (IFMM) system. Current IFMM systems have several drawbacks, including invasiveness and indirect measurements. The existing prototype was tested in order to identify areas of improvement. The prototype developed was equipped with a preconditioning circuit that retains the frequency information of the signal. Furthermore, software was developed based on wavelet filtering and enveloping using the Hilbert transform. Multiple logic algorithms were added in order to handle lost signals, competing echoes, echoes from soft tissues etc. The newly-developed prototype was found to have higher accuracy and precision than the pre-existing prototype. It was also more robust when measuring distance to the spine. A difficulty in segmenting the echo for bone arises for low quality signals. Therefore a compromise exists between setup time, including probe adjustment, and signal quality. Future work includes the manufacturing of a new neck rest to enable robust probe adjustment and fixation.

Abstract:
This master's thesis deals with determination of properties of the ultrasonic sensor SRF05. It is about finding factors that distort or have other negative effects in any way on the proper functionality of these sensors. First of all, it was necessary to program a chip mounted on signal processing board for correct functionality and operation of sensors. Then a few sets of measurements were done to determine the behaviour of sensors for different distances. In addition, we had to carry out many more measurements to find out the influence of temperature, light conditions, material of the sensed surface or cross-noise caused by the use of multiple sensors. In the next step, the approximate shape of the transmitted ultrasound was investigated to determine the zone of detection. The last task of this thesis was to compare the SRF05 sensors with other ultrasonic sensors from different manufacturers.

Our researches are to investigate the performances of the single frequency ultrasonic range finder to the best accuracy for high precision measurement. The time of flight ranging algorithm is the typical method for the range measure. But in this TOF method, the specific returned signal must have sufficient amplitude and the pulse shape, otherwise, there will have accuracy errors. We have used the software as well to compensate the errors and to increase to a satisfactory accuracy of measurement.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>機械工程研究所<br>92<br>This paper proposes two new ultrasonic distance measurment methods. The first is the dual-frequency. In order to improve traditional ultrasonic distance measurement, it takes all detectable received waves to estimate the real time-of-flight. In addition, considering the measurement efficiency and accuracy, we develop a changed-frequency exciting signal instead of dual-frequency one. It can do more measurement in a constant time. Simulation results reveal that arrival time analyses of two measurement methods have much better accuracy than traditional measurement. The maximun error in dual-frequency measurement is 4.15um and 3.61um in changed-frequency. The real implementation is based on theoretical analys because the accuracy of two methods have been proved. In real measurement data analysis, we examine the feasibility and discuss the error source. Finally, we develop a measurement system with 4mm error accuracy in the 3m range.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>機械工程系碩士班<br>95<br>The purpose of this research is to design a short-distance measurement system by ultrasonic sensors. A single ultrasonic transducer is employed to serve concurrently as a transmitter and a receiver. Positions of the barrier are determined by the phase shift between the reflection signal and the source signal. In order to separate the outbound signals from the inbound signals, a resistor is inserted between the signal source and the ultrasonic transducer. This research proposes two different methods, namely “analog method” and “digital method”, to retrieve the reflection signal that is superposed upon the transmitted signal. The analog method is simpler but has its accuracy limited by the precision of the electronic components. The digital method, on the other hand, is more complex but yields more accurate results. The phase curve obtained is also more smooth than that obtained by the analog method. We analyze the measured data taking acoustic field effect into account, and divide the data into four groups according to the distance from the transducer (0∼20mm). Four least-squares line segments are generated to fit these data. The distance is then calculated based on the functions governing the fitted curve. Finally an automatic measurement system is constructed using a PC-oscilloscope which has two 12-bit A/D converse. A graphic user interface is established by Visual Basic. The system will automatically display the distance and direction traveled by the linear stage carrying the barrier.

碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>光機電工程研究所<br>95<br>This paper deals with the research on the optimization of using the dual frequency method of ultrasonic distance measurement system. Following the research of dual frequency method algorithm, this paper implements it on the ultrasonic distance measurement system and performs complete experiments and analysis. The dual frequency method is improved from the traditional measurement method. The measurement error of the traditional method rises with the increase of distance. Dual frequency method uses two ultrasound waves in slightly different frequencies, so we are able to reconstruct the wave front arrival time by utilizing the phase difference. Thus, the flying time of ultrasound is much more accurate. The optimal parameters of dual frequency method are proposed to reach the best result of measurement. By experimental results, the maximum error of traditional measurement is reach to 50.21mm.Dual frequency method with optimal parameters improve to 7.6mm. After transmitting first frequency of ultrasound, it must await 4.652ms to transmit second frequency of ultrasound. This is to avoid energy coupling.

Abstract:
博士<br>國立成功大學<br>電機工程學系碩博士班<br>97<br>This dissertation proposes a time-of-flight (TOF) measurement by employing a piezoelectric and converse piezoelectric produced self-interference ultrasonic wave. When using TOF techniques for ultrasonic temperature and distance measurement, the system error is primarily due to the inertia delay phenomenon of machine vibration. This dissertation proposes a novel driving algorithm for an ultrasonic transmitter. The first study proposes an accurate temperature measurement is derived from the measurement of sound velocity by using an ultrasonic time-of-flight (TOF) technique. The study proposes a novel algorithm which combines both amplitude modulation (AM) and phase modulation (PM) for the TOF measurement. The proposed system can reduce error caused by inertia delay when using the AM and PM envelope square waveform (APESW). The APESW ultrasonic driving waveform causes an envelope zero and phase inversion phenomenon in the relative waveform of the receiver. To accurately achieve a TOF measurement, a phase inversion phenomenon was used to sufficiently identify the measurement pulse in the received waveforms. Additionally, a counter clock technique was combined to compute the phase shifts of the last incomplete cycle for TOF. The presented system can obtain 0.1 % TOF resolution for the period corresponding to the 40 kHz frequency ultrasonic wave. Consequently, with the integration of a humidity compensation algorithm, a highly accurate and high resolution temperature measurement can be achieved using the accurate TOF measurement. Experimental results indicate that the combined standard uncertainty of the temperature measurement is approximately 0.39 ℃. The second study proposes an accurate distance measurement system which has self-temperature-compensation (STC) with the environmental average temperature in space, rather than a single point temperature. The proposed system adopts two identical measurement hardware sets using the APESW ultrasonic driving waveform. The first set measures the sound velocity (the environmental average temperature information is also involved) as the result of the temperature compensation data for the second distance measuring set. Without using a temperature sensor, experimental results indicate that the proposed STC distance measurement system can accurately measure the distance. The experimental standard deviation of the linearity with respect to the distance is found to be 0.21 mm at a range of 50 to 500 mm. Moreover, the proposed system’s temperature uncertainty effect produced a standard deviation of 0.093 mm, while the temperature sensor system’s uncertainty effect produced a standard deviation of 0.68 mm. In addition, the proposed driving algorithm benefits from noise resistance and ease of implementation. The algorithm is simple and can be easily adapted for other micro-processors. The main advantages of this AM and PM envelope square waveform (APESW) system are high resolution measurement, low cost, narrow bandwidth requirement, and ease of implementation.

Abstract:
博士<br>國立成功大學<br>電機工程學系碩博士班<br>92<br>The main aim of this dissertation is to design a highly accurate ultrasonic distance measurement system. The principle of the ranging system is similar to the operation of using a ruler. At first a coarse measurement is done by time-of-flight (TOF) method, and then a fine measurement by phase shift method is adopted to refine the final result. The sound wave propagation speed in the air depends on the temperature. So, to measure the distance more correctly, it is necessary to revise according to the temperature. Therefore, an accurate temperature measurement system is designed in order to increase the accuracy of the distance measurement for the UDMS. At first, a highly accurate binary frequency shift-keyed (BFSK) ultrasonic distance measurement system (UDMS) for use in isothermal air is described. This system presents an efficient algorithm which combines both the time-of-flight method and the phase-shift method. The proposed method can obtain larger range measurement than the phase-shift method and also get higher accuracy compared with the TOF method. A single-chip microcomputer-based BFSK signal generator and phase detector was designed to record and compute the TOF, two phase shifts and the resulting distance, which were then sent to either an LCD for display or a PC for calibration. Experiments were done in air using BFSK with the frequencies of 40 and 41 kHz. Distance resolution of 0.05％ of the wavelength corresponding to the frequency of 40 kHz was obtained. The range accuracy was found to be within ±0.05 mm at a range of over 6000 mm. The main advantages of this UDMS system are high resolution, low cost, narrow bandwidth requirement, and ease of implementation. The second, a method for the temperature measurement system (TMS) using two phase-lock-loops (PLLs) is described. A time-domain temperature sensor can convert the temperature into the duty cycle. The PLL circuit developed to emulate the Vernier caliper to measure the duty cycle is able to eliminate the measuring error and obtain higher resolution without increasing the clock frequency. Then, a single-chip microprocessor is designed to get and compute the duty cycle. Thus, the temperature can be easily computed with the duty cycle, and then sent to a Liquid crystal display (LCD) to display. The experimental results show that the resolution of the duty cycle is 1/65280, and the range of the measured temperature is from –25.5 to 102 ℃ with maximum error ±0.05 ℃ in the TMS. Therefore, the main advantages of this system are high resolution, high accuracy, and low cost.

In this paper, we present a simple but efficient algorithm based upon phase shifts generated by three ultrasonic waves with different frequencies. By the proposed method, we can conduct longer distance measurement than the phase-shift method and get higher accuracy results compared with the time-of-flight (TOF) method. Our microcontroller-based system includes two important parts. One is BASK modulation signal generator and the other is a phase meter by which phase shifts of the three different frequency signals are obtained. Data is sent to PC via RS232 serial ports and then recorded and analyzed with LabVIEW. The main advantages of this distance measurement system are high accuracy in long distance measurement, low cost and easily implemented with cheap and common ultrasound transducers.

Abstract:
It is often difficult to know when most developments in medicine actually begin. They tend to evolve and many people will claim the credit of being the first to make the breakthrough. with ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology there is no such doubt for it had a very definite beginning with the 1958 classic Lancet paper by Ian Donald, John McVicar, and Tom Brown ‘The investigation of abdominal masses by pulsed ultrasound’. Actually this is an unfortunate title because it does not identify what was truly unique about the paper which is that it was entirely devoted to ultrasound studies in clinical obstetrics and gynaecology and contained the first ultrasound images of the fetus and also gynaecological masses. The other unique feature was that these were the first images taken with a compound contact scanner which was the first practical scanning machine. It would be short-sighted to write about the development of medical ultrasound without mentioning some of the great scientists of the 19th and 20th centuries whose conceptual advances paved the way for the modern ultrasound machine. Thomas Young in 1801 described ‘phase shifting’ in relation to light waves but this concept is used in ultrasound phased array systems to control interference patterns and is used in the production of three-dimensional (3-D) images. Christian Doppler in 1842 described what we now call the ‘Doppler effect’ in relation to the motion of stars but this principle is now used as the basis for blood flow studies in pelvic vessels and the fetus. Pierre Curie in 1880 described the piezo electric effect whereby mechanical distortion of ceramic crystals would produce an electric charge; the reverse of this effect is used in all transducers to generate ultrasonic waves. Paul Langevin in 1915 built the first hydrophone which used ultrasonic waves to locate the position and distance of submarines and is the principle behind the measurement of the fetus and abdominal masses by ultrasound. The development of Radar by watson-watt and his team using electromagnetic waves in 1943 was later adapted for ultrasound to produce two-dimensional (2-D) images.

Abstract:
Identifying the current location of a robot is a prerequisite for robot navigation. To localize a robot, one popular way is to use particle filters that estimate the posterior probabilistic density of a robot's state space. But this Bayesian recursion approach is computationally expensive. Most microcontrollers in a small mobile robot cannot afford it. The authors propose to use a smartphone as a robot's brain in which heavy-duty computations take place whereas an embedded microcontroller on the robot processes rudimentary sensors such as ultrasonic and touch sensors. In their design, a smartphone is wirelessly connected to a robot via Bluetooth by which distance measurements from the robot are sent to the smartphone. Then the smartphone takes responsible for computationally expensive operations like executing the particle filter algorithm. In this paper, the authors designed a mobile robot and its control architecture to demonstrate that the robot can navigate indoor environment while avoiding obstacles and localize its current position.
