摘要： An ultrasonic processing method and apparatus (20) can include a rotatable, ultrasonic horn member (28) that is operatively joined to an isolation member (42) which has high rigidity. A rotatable anvil member (86) can be cooperatively positioned to provide a selected horn-anvil gap (106), and an automated drive (130) can be connected to an actuator (110), or other transfer device, to automatically adjust the horn-anvil gap (106). An electronic processor (128) can be configured to monitor an intermittent gap force detected from an output provided by a force sensor (126), and can provide a drive signal to the automated drive (130) to thereby adjust the horn-anvil gap (106) to operatively maintain a target, gap force value.

摘要： A ultrasonic processing method and apparatus (20), can include a rotatable, ultrasonic horn member (28) operatively joined to a first isolation member (42) and a second isolation member (44). In a particular aspect, the first and second isolation members (42, 44) can exhibit high rigidity. A rotatable anvil member (86) can be cooperatively positioned to provide a selected horn-anvil gap (106), and the anvil member (86) can be located in a horizontally offset and vertically overlapping arrangement relative to the horn member (28). An actuator (110) or other transfer device can selectively adjust the horn-anvil gap (106). Additionally, an ultrasonic exciter (82) can connect to the horn member (28), and can provide an operative amount of ultrasonic energy to the horn member (28).

摘要： In a method and apparatus for forming a bonded web comprised at least in part of a polyester, a first material web and a second material web are arranged in opposed relationship with each other at least along those portions of the first and second material webs to be bonded together. At least one of the first and second material webs is comprised at least in part of the polyester. The opposed webs are transported in a machine direction to the nip of a bonding apparatus comprised of a first bonding member and a second bonding member defining the nip therebetween for passage of the opposed first and second material webs therebetween in the machine direction. A shear force is applied to the webs generally in the machine direction at the nip and the webs are mechanically bonded together at the nip while the shear force is applied to webs.

摘要： A method and apparatus (20) for ultrasonic bonding or other processing can include a rotatable ultrasonic horn member (28) and a rotatable axle member (34). The axle member is operatively joined to the horn member (28), and can provide a node plane (38). An isolation member (42) can be operatively joined to the axle member (34), and may have a location that is operatively proximate the node plane (38) of the axle member (34). In a particular aspect, the isolation member (42) can exhibit high rigidity. In a further feature, the isolation member (42) is capable of bending under a horn-life range of sonic frequencies to provide an operative component of motion along a radial direction (102), and an operative component of motion along an axial direction (100) of the isolation member.

摘要： In an ultrasonic treatment system for ultrasonically treating a substance, an elongate ultrasonic horn is positionable within the substance and excitable to vibrate ultrasonically to energize the substance. The horn has a longitudinal axis and an outer surface for contact with the substance. An agitating member of the system is disposed on the ultrasonic horn and is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the horn during ultrasonic vibration of the horn to agitate the substance.

摘要： Novel ultrasonic treatment systems for separating compounds in an aqueous effluent and processes for using the ultrasonic treatment systems are disclosed. More particularly, the ultrasonic treatment systems use ultrasonic energy to energize adsorbent to provide efficient and effective removal of compounds from aqueous effluents, such as textile effluents.
