Notes: The Full Papers of the 2008 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium Proceedings are protected and thus are not available for an unrestricted public access (the links to Full Papers below will NOT be functioning, except for one paper, 2J-5, which is used as an example of multimedia papers). However, if you are not an IEEE UFFC Society member and have not registered for the conference but would like to access the papers, you could do the following: (1) Purchase papers from IEEE Xplore; (2) Become a member by joining the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (UFFC) Society to access the papers via the IEEE UFFC web site; (3) Purchase either a print copy (IEEE Catalog Number: CFP08ULT-PRT; ISBN: 978-1-4244-2428-3) or DVD (IEEE Catalog Number: CFP08ULT-DVD; ISBN: 978-1-4244-2480-1) from IEEE (contact: the IEEE Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, P. O. Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, USA, Tel. 1-800-678-IEEE).

News: On February 23, 2009, the multimedia DVD conference proceedings have been shipped via a regular (First Class) mail from Vandalia, OH, USA to all attendees who have registered for the conference through the "Conference Registration".

News: As of today, March 31, 2009, the multimedia conference proceedings are available through both the IEEE UFFC and the IEEE Xplore websites.

The following are from the conference DVD proceedings (in addition to PDF, it has an HTML Main Menu that may be more browser friendly). However, all functions and links will be accessible only when you have a physical DVD:



NOTES (Please Read These Notes First):

  1. Full papers and abstracts of papers can be browsed from the sessions below by clicking on the "[Full Paper PDF]" and "[Abstract]" (please notice that abstracts will be opened in a separate browser window) links respectively. If a paper has multimedia contents, there will be a link "[Multimedia_zipped]" also for you to download the entire multimedia package (for multimedia package or any ZIP files in other pages, please right click your mouse and then select "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" to save the file to your hard drive because the contents of the ZIP files are not designed to work on the screen - please see "Paper Submission" for details of multimedia ZIP files). The layout of this page is similar to the "Full Program" of the 2008 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS) and the "Session Chairs" page with features such as color codes to help users to have a faster overview of the papers of interest.
  2. Please notice that not all the authors whose abstracts are accepted for presentation in the 2008 IEEE IUS have submitted the full papers and some papers have been removed from the conference proceedings for various reasons (please see the "Conference Statistics" for the number of papers that are not included in the conference proceedings). For missing papers, you could visit the "Abstract Book" using the session information in the "Condensed Program" or the "Full Program".
  3. For other browsing and searching options (such as "Paper Title", "Author", "Session Title", "Presentation Type", "Key Words", and "Session Label") across all the papers in the DVD, please go back to the "Mira indexSmart® " and then check the browsing and searching frame near its top if it is not already shown on top of this page. Alternatively, you could use an HTML version of the Main Menu "Main Menu (HTML)" that may be more browser friendly.
  4. If there are any discrepancies between the author list (or paper title) in this web page and the actual PDF paper (this may happen if authors have forgotten to update the paper titles or author lists during the online proceedings "Paper Submission" process), the correct order and list of authors (or paper title) should be according to the PDF paper. The symbols after an author name "*" and "**" represent presenting author and corresponding author indicated by submitting authors in the paper or abstract submission system.
