Title: The Innovative Contributions of George K. Lewis
Introduction
George K. Lewis is a notable inventor based in San Jose, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of ultrasound technology, holding three patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise. His work primarily focuses on enhancing ultrasound imaging through advanced transducer designs.
Latest Patents
One of Lewis's latest patents is for a "Non-resonant ultrasonic transducer array for a phased array imaging." This invention involves a phased array transducer designed to transduce ultrasound at a predetermined frequency. The transducer consists of multiple piezoelectric elements, all sharing the same natural frequency, with two surfaces that are equipped with electrodes. The distance between these surfaces is one quarter of the wavelength of the ultrasound produced within the piezoelectric material.
Another significant patent is for a "Transducer for electronic focal scanning in an ultrasound imaging device." This ultrasonic transducer features a series of adjacently positioned piezoelectric segments arranged concentrically. Each segment contains linear parallel grooves that define spaced surface areas, with each area comprising a piezoelectric element. The grooves serve to acoustically decouple the piezoelectric elements from one another, and the segments are preferably triangular in shape.
Career Highlights
George K. Lewis is currently employed at Siemens Gammasonics, Inc., where he continues to develop innovative ultrasound technologies. His work has been instrumental in advancing the capabilities
