The document discusses ultrasonic sensors. It explains that ultrasonic sensors transmit ultrasonic waves and measure the time it takes for the waves to reflect back from an object to calculate the distance. Ultrasonic sensors have a transmitter that uses piezoelectric crystals to emit sound waves and a receiver to detect the reflected waves. The distance is calculated using the speed of sound and the round trip time of the waves. Ultrasonic sensors are used for applications like distance measurement, liquid level detection, and medical imaging due to their insensitivity to factors like smoke or color.

• As the name indicates, ultrasonic sensors measure distance by using ultrasonic
waves.
The sensor head emits an ultrasonic wave and receives the wave reflected back
from the target.
• Ultrasonic Sensors measure the distance to the target by measuring the time
between the emission and reception.
• Distance calculation
• The distance can be calculated with the following formula:
• Distance L = 1/2 × T × C
where L is the distance, T is the time between the emission and reception,
and C is the sonic speed.
(The value is multiplied by 1/2 because T is the time for go-and-return
distance.)
Features
• [Transparent object detectable]
Since ultrasonic waves can reflect off a glass or liquid surface and return to the sensor head, even
transparent targets can be detected.
• [Resistant to mist and dirt]
Detection is not affected by accumulation of dust or dirt.
• [Complex shaped objects detectable]
Presence detection is stable even for targets such as mesh trays or springs.
How Ultrasonic Sensors Work?
•Ultrasonic sound vibrates at a frequency above the range of human
hearing.
• Transducers are the microphones used to receive and send the
ultrasonic sound.
•Ultrasonic sensors, like many others, use a single transducer to send a
pulse and to receive the echo. The sensor determines the distance to
a target by measuring time lapses between the sending and receiving
of the ultrasonic pulse.
Ultrasonic Sensors
• Ultrasound can be used for measuring wind speed and direction
(anemometer), tank or channel fluid level, and speed through air or water.
• It generates sound waves in the ultrasonic range, above 18 kHz, by turning
electrical energy into sound, then upon receiving the echo turn the sound
waves into electrical energy which can be measured and displayed.
• The technology is limited by the shapes of surfaces and the density or
consistency of the material.
• Foam, in particular, can distort surface level readings.
• This technology, as well, can detect approaching objects and track
their positions.
• Ultrasonic transducers convert AC into ultrasound, as well as the reverse.
• Ultrasonic, typically refers to piezoelectric transducers or capacitive
transducers.
• Piezoelectric crystals change size and shape when a voltage is applied; AC
voltage makes them oscillate at the same frequency and produce ultrasonic
sound.
• Capacitive transducers use electrostatic fields between a conductive
diaphragm and a backing plate.
Selection of Sensors
The most common optical sensor options are photoelectric—diffuse, reflective, and through beam. Laser sensors and fiber-optic sensing units also fall under the optical sensor category. Photoelectric sensors are mostly presence sensors.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
3. Ultrasonic sensor ---- is also known as SONAR. It is used for
measuring the distance between the object and the sensor itself. It
transmits ultrasonic waves and receives it back after reflecting from
the surface of an object.
Then its measures the time during entire process which is equal to the
distance between object and the sensor itself.
It has four pins and is very easy to use.
Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e. the
sound that humans can hear).
Ultrasonic sensors have two main components:
The transmitter-- (which emits the sound using piezoelectric crystals) .
The receiver-- (which encounters the sound after it has travelled to
and from the target).
•Ultrasonic sensor transmits sound waves.
•These waves are reflected back from the surface of an object.
4. • Then it measures the time elapsed during the entire process, from
transmission to receiving, it is known as round trip time.
• This time is equal to the distance between an object and the sensor
itself.
Theoretically, the distance can be calculated using the TRD (time/rate/distance)
measurement formula.
Since the calculated distance is the distance traveled from the ultrasonic transducer to the
object—and back to the transducer—it is a two-way trip.
By dividing this distance by 2, you can determine the actual distance from the transducer to
the object.
Ultrasonic waves travel at the speed of sound (343 m/s at 20°C).
The distance between the object and the sensor is half of the distance traveled by the
sound wave.
The following equation calculates the distance to an object placed in front of an ultrasonic
sensor:
distance =
time taken x speed of sound

6. level sensors to detect, monitor, and regulate liquid levels in closed
containers (such as vats in chemical factories).
Most notably, ultrasonic technology has enabled the medical industry
to produce images of internal organs, identify tumors, and ensure the
health of babies in the womb.
Ultrasonic sensors are also used in robotic obstacle detection
systems, as well as manufacturing technology.
Also known as SONAR sensor. SONAR basically stands for Sound
Navigation and Ranging. Ultrasonic is mostly used for the distance
measurements. It can also be used for measuring the depth of the
sea.
Ultrasonic sensors are superior to infrared sensors because they aren’t
affected by smoke or black materials, .
Soft materials which don’t reflect the sonar (ultrasonic) waves very well may cause
issues. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s good and reliable.
9. Working Principle--The ultrasonic sensor (or transducer) works on the same principles as
a radar system. An ultrasonic sensor can convert electrical energy into acoustic waves and
vice versa.
The acoustic wave signal is an ultrasonic wave traveling at a frequency above 18kHz.
The famous HC SR04 ultrasonic sensor generates ultrasonic waves at 40kHz frequency.
A microcontroller is used for communication with an ultrasonic sensor. To begin measuring
the distance, the microcontroller sends a trigger signal to the ultrasonic sensor.
When triggered, the ultrasonic sensor generates eight acoustic (ultrasonic) wave bursts and
initiates a time counter. As soon as the reflected (echo) signal is received, the timer stops.
The output of the ultrasonic sensor is a high pulse with the same duration as the time
difference between transmitted ultrasonic bursts and the received echo signal.

11. Piezoelectric crystal-- a crystal, such as quartz, that produces a potential
difference across its opposite faces when under mechanical stress.
The first Piezoelectric effect was initiated in the year 1880 by the brothers Jacques
Curie & Pierre.
examples of piezoelectric crystals like quartz, tourmaline, cane sugar, Rochelle salt,
and topaz.
The main function of these materials is to exhibit piezoelectric constants several
times which are superior to normal piezoelectric materials.
The shape of piezoelectric crystal is a hexagonal, and it includes three axes namely
optical, electrical, & mechanical. It is named a piezoelectric effect.
The working of this crystal is whenever force is applied to the crystal then it
generates the electricity.
•The best application of piezoelectric crystal is an electric cigarette lighter.
•The common application of a piezoelectric-crystal energy source is to create a tiny
motor.
•The piezoelectric-crystals are embedded within the shoe sole of a shoe to generate
electricity energy for every step.
