Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
An innovative ultrasonography system integrating AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials to enhance transmission and reception sensitivity, accuracy, and data management, providing a more powerful and efficient diagnostic tool.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent's ultrasonography system, although effective, had limitations in terms of transmission and reception sensitivity, data management, and integration with other medical devices. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by incorporating AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials to create a more robust and efficient system.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The intelligent ultrasonography system consists of an ultrasound transducer array, a cable with non-coaxial cables and an outer coat, and an AI-powered processor that corrects transmission and reception sensitivity based on static capacitance data and sensitivity data. The system can be integrated with IoT-enabled medical devices to receive feedback and adjust transmission and reception sensitivity. Additionally, a blockchain-based data storage module securely stores and manages ultrasonography data. The system can also utilize machine learning to enhance accuracy and employ nanomaterial-based coatings on the ultrasound transducers to enhance their sensitivity and resolution.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new claims introduce a synergistic combination of AI, IoT, blockchain, and nanomaterials, which provides a non-obvious improvement over the original patent's ultrasonography system. The integration of these distinct technologies enables a more powerful and efficient diagnostic tool.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of different AI algorithms, various IoT-enabled medical devices, or alternative blockchain-based data storage modules. Additionally, the system could be adapted for use in different medical specialties or with various types of ultrasound transducers.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The intelligent ultrasonography system has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, particularly in hospitals, clinics, and research institutions. The system's enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and data management capabilities make it an attractive solution for medical professionals.
