    摘要: A gel-like material is provided, the gel-like material having an on-demand state-change capability, whether the on-demand change is to an initial state, a final state or both, at least some of the gel present or delivered undergoing the change. Alternatively, the gel-like material may have a spatially and/or temporally selective state-change, whether on-demand change is to an initial state, a final state or both, at least some of the gel present or delivered undergoing the change. Or, the gel-like material may selectively change state due to gel contacting diseased tissue having a natural thermal or compositional contrast or artificially induced thermal or compositional contrast capable of causing state-change via a state-change parameter, independent of an on-demand nature or a spatial/temporal selective nature.

    摘要: A device and method are provided for delivering moderate to high power acoustic energy to a target object through one or more emitted streams of liquid for the purpose of altering at least the target surface. In an embodiment, the acoustic energy is provided by transducers acoustically coupled into the liquid stream(s) and the acoustic energy and liquid emission apertures are common and elongated. The user directs the apparatus such that the acoustically-transporting liquid stream impacts upon the surface to be altered. Cleaning surfaces is an example of an alteration process. Agents may be added to the liquid stream to enhance surface alteration processes.

    摘要: Apparatus is provided for performing acoustically aided treatment or cleaning of workpieces or subjects. In a first embodiment, acoustic energy contributed by one or more emitted streams is summed for cooperative treatment at a common workpiece region or site. In a second embodiment, one or more impinging streams are shaped such that they provide an acoustic amplification effect. Both embodiments may utilize beneficial agents added to the flowed impinging medium to enable or improve the treatment or cleaning process.
