Conformable ultrasound breast patch for deep tissue scanning and imaging by Du, Wenya, Zhang, Lin, Suh, Emma, Lin, Dabin, Marcus, Colin, Ozkan, Lara, Ahuja, Avani, Fernandez, Sara, Shuvo, Ikra Iftekhar, Sadat, David, Liu, Weiguo, Li, Fei, Chandrakasan, Anantha P., Ozmen, Tolga, Dagdeviren, Canan

“…The in vitro studies and clinical trials reveal that the array using a piezoelectric crystal [Yb/Bi-Pb(In <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> <jats:sub>/2</jats:sub> Nb <jats:sub>1/2</jats:sub> )O <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> -Pb(Mg <jats:sub>1/</jats:sub> <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> Nb <jats:sub>2/3</jats:sub> )O <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> -PbTiO <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> ] (Yb/Bi-PIN-PMN-PT) exhibits a sufficient contrast resolution (~3 dB) and axial/lateral resolutions of 0.25/1.0 mm at 30 mm depth, allowing the observation of small cysts (~0.3 cm) in the breast. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”

Two-dimensional partially ionized magnetohydrodynamic turbulence by Benavides, Santiago J, Flierl, Glenn R

“…We arrive at, and numerically confirm, an expression for the energy loss due to collisions in both the weakly and strongly collisional limits, and show that, in the latter limit, the neutral fluid couples to the ions and behaves as an MHD fluid. Finally, we discuss some implications of our findings to current understanding of gas giant planet atmospheres.…”
