    Arg! As a sonar guy, I can tell you that the function of the TGC is to increase the receiver gain as time elapses from when the pulse was transmitted. Without this, the signal would be huge (and clipping) right after the transmit pulse ended, and buried in the A/D's quantizing noise at larger time delays from the end of the transmit pulse. In many radar and sonar units, this is called TVG (Time Varying Gain).

  • @SeanBZA

    I remember those connectors from ATE equipment, where they were used to connect the DUT cable assemblies to the front of the rack, and from there the connectors were split out to a set of power supplies, giving a variety of power supplies, 115VAC 400Hz 3 phase, each phase adjustable voltage wise, and with the actual output voltage read along with the current by both the power supply itself and the ATE acquisition system. Then 28VDC, up to 50A, as some of the stuff needed that amount of power to operate.
    Then a massive patch panel, wheere you had a 200 by 200 pin array of interconnects, so you could have the input and output lines connected to the simulation and readout side.
    Those connectors are rated for low noise, even after 1000 insertion cycles, and you really do not want to know the cost of them, though they do have the ability to replace individual pins and sockets if they do fail. Perhaps not with the ultrasound, as they likely potted the plug.
    I would hazard half of those added modification wires are there to repair broken inner traces in the boards, as they likely were only tested and passed in the PCB plant, but after the PCB was assembled and soldered they would find the failed traces that did not survive the reflow cycle during test. Expensive board, expensive components but cheaper to do diagnosis and place the wires than scrap the entire board that mostly works, and hope the next board is perfect.
    IBM Deathstar, not likely to still work, though there are a lot of glued down components, using some quality clear acetoxy free silicone instead of the crusty glue.

    I used to build similar machines back in the 80's under the brand names of UniRad or Johnson & Johnson. They rarely shielded the card cages like this, no need to if designed properly. They just put cans on the parts that might leak RF. Also, remember, these machines could take a black and white picture, derived from nothing more than sending out sound waves, and calculate weight at birth for babies. When the calculations were incorrect, the manufactures got sued for big bucks.

      Would also like to see this. I'd bet there's a fair amount of overlap (both applications have life safety and reliability considerations). Guessing the military angle also has to consider the environment it's operating in? For example, a typical ultrasound machine can assume it's indoors at "room temperature." A typical military appliance won't be able to assume that.

The software issues were fixed, but when I used the transducer again, the image it provided was broken (areas with images and others not). During the time that the transducer was not used it was protected, however, the place was subjected to high humidity. The other transducers are working properly and were used regularly. I would like to know where the transducer damage may be. Thank you.

    what is a difference between a 12 volt supply (which has +ve and -ve terminals) and (-12)--0--(+12) volt supply (which has -12v, zero volt and +12v terminals). does it means, that there will be a 24v potential difference between -12v and +12v terminals? if yes then what is a 0v--12v--24v power supply? can you explain.

    • @toxanbi
      @toxanbi 4 роки тому +1

      First learn about quadrants of operation of abstract voltage source. There are, obviously, four of them:
      1. Positive voltage across the outputs, the unit is sourcing power.
      2. Negative voltage across the output, the unit is sourcing power.
      3. Positive voltage across the outputs, the unit is sinking power.
      4. Negative voltage across the outputs, the unit is sinking power.
      If the given voltage source (no matter, positive or negative voltage it supplies) can do both sourcing and sinking energy, there's really no technical difference between 0V-12V-24V and (-12V)-(0)-(+12V). The only difference is in output terminal labeling. That is only true for bi-quadrant/four-quadrant voltage sources, which is rare in practical: only high-end lab PSU, chemical voltage sources and capacitors are examples of such devices for DC, and only bare transformers - for AC.
      Another aspect is _regulation_, i.e. an ability of the power sources to keep voltage accross some output terminals at the desired level.
      In 0V-12V-24V case (let's assume terminals are labeled [A]-[B]-[C]) if you overload or short-circuit A-B pair, voltage A-B will drop to some extent, but the power source will keep trying to establish A-C at 24V. Voltage between B and C will increase, but nobody cares about Vbc.
      In (-12V)-(0)-(+12V) case (same convention of term. labeling) if you overload or short-circuit A-B pair, voltage between A and B will drop, but the power source will at least keep trying to provide stable 12V between B and C. Voltage between A and C will, of course, go lower than initial 24V.
      So, it depends. The way terminals are labeled usually remarks the way their voltages are regulated (usually 0V is a reference point for all other voltages, but not always) and energy flow direction (usually positive terminals can only source current and negative terminals can only sink current). The GND/0V terminal in bipolar/multi-polar voltage sources can both source and sink current, which is the main reason why dumb relabelling of terminals can't convert 0V-12V-24V into (-12V)-(0)-(+12V).

      Believe me that that hdi 3000 has a doppler spectrum quality competing with todays mid-high level ultrasounds (not high ends, but very close). If it had some B mode image processing capabilities of CX50, iHDI3000 should have been better than it in B mode too. Because it has 128 channels using all trnacducer crystalls without switching and a very good analog signal amplifier. Channel number is more than most of todays machines, so this rockets the signal quality. . Yes it is some old. But for the age of it it was like from outer space. I have used one 10 years ago, and shocked about its capabilities. First of all probe quality portable machnies are poor. They generally use a new tecnology (without crystal), I am not sure about cx50 but HDI porobe quality is top one, single piece crystal cut. If the pure signal quality recieved is good (signal/noise ratio), it really boosts image quality. Todays lower end ultrasounds mostly use some mathematical calculations like speckle noise reduction and some other techniques to boost image quality. I have worked on ultrasound (as field service eng. and application specialist (Medison- Samsung, Kretz, Hitachi-Aloka) machines since 1996, and saw lots of USG machines.

    • @ShortCircuitGaming

      Sonographers are not doctors, it generally requires a masters degree in ultrasound. Due to this, sonographers, particularly new ones can miss things, especially ligament damage which can be hard to spot. In this case, the GP should have either been able to diagnose a torn ligament or asked for an MRI straight away. More than likely a bad combo of bad doctor and bad sonographer, but can't entirely blame the sonographer.

    • @BestbredSA
      @BestbredSA 4 роки тому +1

      @@ShortCircuitGaming a sonographer should not be trying to diagnose this kind of thing. Nor should a GP. This is not a simple pregnant/non pregnant diagnosis. This kind of diagnostics is the domain of the specialist radiologist. This may sound overdramatic but with ultrasound you need to "become the machine" and have scanned hundreds(thousands) of normal before you can identify abnormal. So many variables at play.

      Correct. It's actually an AUI connector for 10Mbit/s ethernet. You'd need to have used a transceiver to convert it from AUI to BNC or RJ45 dependent on how your ethernet cabling was wired at the time. FWIW, the original Cisco Routers (2500 series) used to have only AUI on them for years.

    I used to service these units when they were still in use. They weren't as popular as the higher-end HDI 5000, as they didn't have as good of image quality. ATL was purchased by Philips Medical, BTW, so they still exist within that corporation. The panel on the front was referred to as the "mux" panel (multiplexer). It is responsible for switching between the three transducer input connectors. Those highly shielded boards the the mux panel plugs into are called the front end boards. They are responsible for beam forming. Each transducer is a bit different (i.e. linear, convex, sector, etc.) and these boards compensate for each individual channel on any given transducer. Each front end board contains an array of preamps that are controlled by the software. They can be swapped around in order to troubleshoot faults in the boards. Information for each individual transducer is stored on a circuit board inside the large connector for that transducer. That's why the connector housing is so large. Color, PW and other functions are added by the boards connected to these front end boards (just keeping it simple). By the time the signal leaves the front end section, it has been processed into a raw image with X,Y,Z and direction of flow information. This then goes to the "back end" section of the unit, where the image is processed, demographics are added and the image is displayed on the monitor. The MO disk on the back of the unit is sometimes a bootable disk. It can be used to restore the hard drive when it gets corrupt. I can't remember all of the commands, but I think one of them is when you press "super key" and "0" at the same time, it will put you into service mode. Thanks for the tear-down video. It brought back a lot of memories!
