    Abstract: Methods of mitigating current overload of an ultrasonic system having an ultrasonic stack under load at startup are provided. The methods include beginning an ultrasonic cycle in the ultrasonic system having the ultrasonic stack that runs a closed loop phase control through the weld cycle by ramping up the power of the ultrasonic stack under load. During ramping up of the power of the ultrasonic stack under load, a controller lowers the phase to a negative phase. After ramping up the power of the ultrasonic stack under load is complete, the controller raises the phase to 0 degrees and the ultrasonic stack is operating at steady state and with the phase at 0 degrees.

    Abstract: A system and downhole tool comprising an ultrasonic transducer with a piezoelectric material embedded in a backing and a method of determining a parameter using the ultrasonic transducer, A self-noise of the transducer can be reduced by the piezoelectric material being at least partially embedded in the backing. The ultrasonic transducer can include an encapsulating material that encapsulates the backing.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for electronically driving an ultrasonic acoustic transducer. The transducer is operable in two modes; in a first mode, the lock-in frequency of the transducer is determined; in a second mode, the lock-in frequency determined in the first mode is used to modulate a tone-burst pulse to drive the transducer in an efficient manner. Operating in the first mode, the lock-in frequency is determined by exciting the transducer with a series of tone bursts, where each tone burst comprises an electronic pulse modulated by a tone of one frequency selected from a range of frequencies, and measuring the response of the transducer to each tone burst. In an alternative embodiment, the excitation of the transducer in the first mode is provided by a signal whose frequency is swept over a range. The response of the transducer is sampled at various times during the sweep. The lock-in frequency is chosen by examining the responses and choosing the frequency which gives the best response. Operating in the second mode, the transducer is driven with an electronic tone burst generated by modulating said an electronic pulse with a tone of the determined lock-in frequency.

    Abstract: A nebuliser for use in administering a medicament to a patient undergoing treatment for example, comprises an ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer (60) and a transducer drive system (D) which is caused to drive said transducer at or near its anti-resonant frequency. There is also provided means to optimise nebulised fluid particle size and transfer to the patients lungs for example, by operating at an anti-resonant frequency in the range of 1.36 to 1.56 MHz and having a single outlet baffle and relatively short outlet tube (24) arrangement.
