Abstract: Devices and methods for pre-conditioning and/or post-conditioning a host fluid containing a second fluid or particulate are disclosed. The devices include a flow chamber having first opening and a particulate outlet. The devices can also include side openings and alignment, fluid, and particulate screens. An ultrasonic transducer can be driven to create an acoustic standing wave in the flow chamber, or alternatively be driven to excite the wall of the flow chamber in which it is located. This creates a uniformly stratified flow within the flow chamber, with the second fluid or particulate being aligned in planes in the fluid mixture. This permits the host fluid to be separated therefrom using the fluid screen and the particulate screen.

Abstract: A swept sideband driver circuit has a boost converter followed by a buck converter obtaining near unity power factor. A full wave bridge powered from the buck converter circuit drives the PZT output load. The output of the buck converter circuit is controlled by a power level control circuit. The analog power level control circuit receives a sample of the output load current and a sample of the output load voltage from which it produces a product. The product signal is compared with manually adjusted pot signal. A difference signal results and used to adjust the output voltage of the buck converter circuit thereby increasing or decreasing the power to the load to drive the error signal to zero. A swept sideband modulation circuit modulates the frequency of the full wave bridge with a harmonic rich signal thereby imposing side bands on the voltage to the PZT load.

Abstract: The invention provides systems, methods and apparatus for processing delicate parts within a process tank such as an ultrasonic tank. Typically, one or more transducers connect to the tank and respond to drive signals from a generator to produce ultrasound within process liquid within the tank. Specific features of the invention include: (1) a power up-sweep ultrasonic system for moving contaminants upwards within the tank by sweeping transducer drive signals from an upper frequency to a lower frequency without sweeping from the lower frequency to the upper frequency; (2) a multi-generator system for producing ultrasound at selected different frequencies within the tank by switching a common transducer bank to one of the generators in response to remote relays initiated by the user; (3) a probe sensing system for sensing process conditions within the tank including an enclosure for housing a sample liquid and one or more sensing transducers within the sample liquid, the transducers generating signals indicative of characteristics of the sample liquid, a subsystem analyzing the signals in feedback with the generator to modify process conditions; (4) variable voltage ultrasonic generator systems to accommodate varying world-wide voltage supplies; (5) a laminar process tank for efficiently pushing contaminants upwards in a tank; (6) a quick dump rinse tank including a pressure cavity to accelerate dumping processes; (7) an ultrasonic generating unit formed of a printed circuit board (PCB) and multiple transducers within the PCB; (8) an AC power system to produce an AC voltage at frequency f that is impressed across a capacitive element; and (9) various configurations of transducers, including acid-safe transducers, double-compression transducers, and transducers with increased reliability.
