Method And Apparatus For The Generation Of Ultrasonic Energy Fields Within Circular Structures Containing A Liquid

US Patent:
2002012, Sep 5, 2002
Filed:
Mar 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/798677
Inventors:
John Poniatowski - Annandale VA, US
Susan Poniatowski - Westford MA, US
John Walkinshaw - Westford MA, US
Assignee:
Paper Quality Management Associates
International Classification:
B08B003/12
US Classification:
134/001000, 134/184000
Abstract:
A resonant chamber that produces an ultrasonic energy field about a central axis of the chamber to separate contrary matter from a working material. The resonant chamber has a circular cross section and utilizes a series of transducer elements to generate an ultrasonic transverse wave disposed about the internal longitudinal axis of the chamber. In addition, a driver circuit is provided that is able to efficiently excite the transducer elements to generate the ultrasonic transverse wave with a minimum of heat dissipation and power loss.

Variable Inductor

US Patent:
7242275, Jul 10, 2007
Filed:
Feb 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/772140
Inventors:
John E. Poniatowski - Annandale VA, US
John W. Walkinshaw - Westford MA, US
Assignee:
Paper Quality Management Associates - Westford MA
International Classification:
H01F 27/28
US Classification:
336226
Abstract:
A variable inductor which avoids electrical breakdown of the insulation in the control windings when used in high power applications includes a core formed of a permeable magnetic material, the core having three legs, including a center leg and two outer legs. A main winding element comprising a main conductor is wound around the center leg of the core. A control winding element comprising a control conductor is wound in a figure-eight configuration having a first winding and a second winding around respective outer legs, the winding configuration canceling induced voltages in the first and second windings, wherein a current through the control winding element causes a change in inductance of the main winding element.
