Not exact matches

The Los Angeles - based company has developed technology that transmits ultrasonic waves (at a register well beyond what's audible) that are translated by devices as a microscopic quiver; this vibration is converted back into an electrical charge to power anything with a battery, no wires or wall plugs required.
Using transducers, uBeam's device, which is not yet on the market, converts electrical energy into ultrasound waves and then back into electrical energy.
A transducer sends high - frequency sound waves into the body; as the sound waves bounce off organs and structures, they produce electrical signals that are converted into images.
