Title: Innovations by Wei Lin in Acoustic Diagnostics
Introduction
Wei Lin is an accomplished inventor based in Port Jefferson, NY (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of acoustic diagnostics, particularly in assessing bone quality. His innovative approach combines advanced technology with practical applications in medical diagnostics.
Latest Patents
Wei Lin holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for scanning confocal acoustic diagnostic for bone quality." This invention comprises a system and method for determining at least one material property of a material sample, such as a bone sample, at at least one point. The system includes a transmitting ultrasonic transducer and a receiving ultrasonic transducer, both of which are confocal transducers. These transducers are configured to receive the material sample between them, ensuring that the confocal point is located at the specified point in the material sample. A processor initiates an ultrasonic signal from the transmitting transducer, which is transmitted through the material sample when positioned between the transducers. The receiving transducer captures the ultrasonic signal, and the processor analyzes the signal to determine one or more measures of the received ultrasonic signal. Based on this analysis, the processor determines at least one ultrasonic parameter for the material sample and subsequently assesses the material property at that point.
