SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING THE DESIGN OF AN ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER
First Claim
9. A system for providing a Geometrical Design for a component in an ultrasonic insonification system, said system comprising:
- an interface for inputting (i) a Basic Problem Statement related to the operating media of the ultrasonic insonification system, (ii) at least one Insonification Requirement of the ultrasonic insonification system, (iii) at least one component Optimization Attribute; and
an engine responsive to said interface, said engine including means for computing a numerical value for said at least one component Optimization Attribute, wherein an optimized Geometrical Design for the component corresponds to the most desirable said numerical value of said at least one component Optimization Attribute.

Abstract
A system and method for determining optimal values for the geometrical features of an ultrasonic transducer having one or more elements, the method including backprojection ray-tracing to determine the parameters required for apertures located on an ultrasonic probe surface. The ultrasonic probe design system includes an interface for inputting statement parameters, insonification requirements, and geometric constraints, with an engine responsive to the interface and configured to determine and provide an optimized transducer geometric design output.
