Water Depth Measurement
＜Is it a flashlight? No, it's a sounder for measuring the distance to sea or lake bottoms.＞
Lake and Sea Bottom Observation
＜It is ultrasound that enables us to see lake and sea bottoms even when enough light does not reach there. What's the principle?＞

＜Concentration is determined using an ultrasound.＞
Viscosity Meter (Viscosity Measurement)
＜Ultrasound also measures viscosity.＞
Sound Pressure Measurement
＜Let us measure "sound pressure", the intensity of sound.＞
Traffic Volume Management System
＜Detecting cars using ultrasound. It contributes to smooth traffic movement.＞
Fish Counter
＜How many fishes have passed through? Automatic counting of the number of fishes.＞
Detection
＜Ultrasonic sensors are more common around us than expected. Where are they used?＞
Acoustic Diagnosis
＜What do you detect when you listen carefully?＞
Noise Reduction
＜Does a sound disappear by putting one sound upon another?＞
Ultrasonic Flaw Detection
＜The flaws and structures inside electronic parts or metals can be observed using an ultrasound !＞
Detection of Material Interface
＜Material Interface detection??? Ultrasound reflects.＞
Materials Observation and Evaluation
＜The elastic property of materials can be observed with ultrasound.＞
Medical Diagnosis
＜An ultrasonic medical diagnostic instrument, known as “Echo” is safe for a fetus.＞
Fish Finding
＜Now “can‘t do without”tools. Also active in sport fishing. What’s the principle?＞
Imaging (Ultrasonic Camera)
＜Let‘s see underwater using the same method as a medical diagnostic instrument. How effective?＞
Subaqueous Investigation
＜Ultrasound is used for making submarine maps and for sea rescues.＞
Subterranean Investigation
＜Ultrasound is used for investigating stratums and the nature of the soil.＞
Underwater Communication
＜Is it possible to transmit information or communicate using an ultrasound?＞
Repelling / Prevention
＜Is there any sound hated by dolphins or insect pests?＞
Marine Organisms Telemetry
＜Technology investigating the migration behavior of fish, marine resources for controlling and the inhabitation environment of fish.＞
Ultrasonic Cleaning
＜Ultrasonic cleaning is an indispensable technology to improve the quality of industrial products.＞
Ultrasonic Motor
＜How does it move using ultrasonic vibration?＞
Powder Feeder
＜Powder moves by ultrasound. A stable powder feeder is realized.＞
Ultrasonic Floating
＜Things float by ultrasound. Things can be conveyed without damage＞
Adhesion Prevention
＜Ultrasound is also useful for preventing adhesion such as preventing moss and removing raindrops on car door mirrors.＞
Vibrational Sieving
＜Improving sieving efficiency using ultrasonic vibration !＞
Plastic Processing
＜Effective in reducing processing cost !＞
Fitting in Precise Assembly
＜Can we prevent “seizing-up” in fitting using an ultrasound?＞
