    摘要: An ultrasonic apparatus and a method for injecting a pressurized liquid fuel by applying ultrasonic energy to a portion of the pressurized liquid fuel. The apparatus includes a die housing which defines a chamber adapted to receive a pressurized liquid and a means for applying ultrasonic energy to a portion of the pressurized liquid. The die housing further includes an inlet adapted to supply the chamber with the pressurized liquid, and an exit orifice defined by the walls of a die tip. The exit orifice is adapted to receive the pressurized liquid from the chamber and pass the liquid out of the die housing. When the means for applying ultrasonic energy is excited, it applies ultrasonic energy to the pressurized liquid without applying ultrasonic energy to the die tip. The method involves supplying a pressurized liquid to the foregoing apparatus, applying ultrasonic energy to the pressurized liquid but not the die tip while the exit orifice receives pressurized liquid from the chamber, and passing the pressurized liquid out of the exit orifice in the die tip.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for controlling an ultrasonic transducer preferably including a signal generator circuit, a signal sensing circuit, a modulator circuit, and a bias circuit. The signal generator circuit provides a pulsed drive signal to the ultrasonic transducer. The signal sensing circuit senses the voltage and current of the drive signal. The modulator circuit provides a frequency control signal and an energy control signal to the signal generator circuit corresponding to a detected phase difference between the sensed voltage and the sensed current of the drive signal. The frequency control signal and energy control signal operate to adjust the frequency and energy level, respectively, of the drive signal.Within the transducer, a movable element in contact with a liquid is preferably positioned corresponding to the level of a dc bias signal provided by the bias circuit. By adjusting the level of the dc bias signal, the flow rate of the liquid is adjusted. By applying the drive signal to the transducer, the viscosity of the liquid is adjusted which establishes a second flow rate of the liquid. When the frequency and energy level of the drive signal are changed, a third flow rate of the liquid is established.

    摘要: The present invention is directed toward a multilayer film which includes a first surface layer and a second surface layer. The first surface layer is composed of materials which disintegrate when subjected to conditions present in conventional sewage systems. The second surface layer is formed from a material which is essentially inert to water, urine and other bodily fluids. Typically, the second surface layer is an extremely thin coating which provides a waterproofing effect. The multilayer film may be utilized as an outer cover in a wide variety of products such as, for example, disposable diapers and feminine care products such as sanitary napkins. In one desirable embodiment the multilayer film includes only these two layers so that the material may be flushed down a conventional toilet without clogging the sewage system because the first surface layer rapidly disintegrates in water leaving only the thin, gossamer second surface layer which can pass through the sewage system without adversely affecting it.

    摘要: An ultrasonic fuel injector for injecting a pressurized liquid fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine that uses an overhead cam for actuating the injector, includes an injector body and an injector needle. The injector needle is disposed within the body and includes a magnetostrictive portion disposed in the region of the body defined by a ceramic wall, which is transparent to magnetic fields changing at ultrasonic frequencies. A wire coil is wound around the outside surface of the ceramic wall and connected to a source of electric power that is controlled to oscillate at ultrasonic frequencies during predetermined intervals of operation of the injector. A sensor is configured to signal when the overhead cam is actuating the injector to inject fuel into the combustion chamber of the engine. The sensor is connected to a control that is connected to the power source and is configured to operate same only when the overhead cam is actuating the injector to inject fuel into the combustion chamber of the engine. When the power source activates the oscillating magnetic field in the coil and applies same to the magnetostrictive portion of the needle, ultrasonic energy is applied to the pressurized liquid. A method involves retrofitting conventional injectors with needles having magnetostrictive portions and wound coils configured and disposed so as to subject the magnetostrictive portions of the needles to ultrasonically oscillating magnetic fields.
