    摘要: A highly sensitive optical fiber interferometer sensor comprising a laser light source, a [2.times.2] optical fiber coupler to split the beam in two, a differential transducer which converts a signal of interest into optical phase shift in the laser light transmitted through the two optical fibers in the interferometer and a [3.times.3] optical fiber complex which recombines the two beams, producing interference which can be electronically detected. The use of the [3.times.3] coupler permits Passive Homodyne demodulation of the phase-modulated signals provided by the interferometer without feedback control or modulation of the laser itself and without requiring the use of electronics within the interferometer.

    摘要: A thermoacoustic driver incorporates a linear electrodynamic motor having electrical terminals and a moving part, a driver suspension housing, a piston, and a stiffness-enhancing device for raising the mechanical resonance frequency of the electrodynamic motor without reducing the piston stroke. The stiffness enhancement is accomplished by the use of specially optimized suspension spring structures and/or by attaching one or more electrical inductors to the electrical terminals of the driver. The stiffness enhancement using mechanical springs incorporates one or more starfish structures extending between the driver suspension housing and the piston and rigidly clamped to both. The starfish structures comprise radially extending legs, which are leaf springs or beams of varying width. The shape of the beams and the shape of the overall spring structure are optimized to enhance flexural or torsional stiffness and relieve arc tension within the constraints of cost-effectiveness. In one version, two modified triangular (trapezoidal) cantilever beams are connected through a straight middle section and form a bow-tie shaped beam.

    摘要: A thermoacoustic generator includes a housing with a thermoacoustic core supported in the housing. The core is operable to introduce acoustical power into the housing to thereby oscillate the pressure of the gas in the housing at a frequency. A piezoelectric alternator is also supported in the housing and has a face that is movable when acted on by the acoustical power. The alternator includes a portion of piezoelectric material operable to produce electrical power when acted upon by a stress. The piezoelectric material is in mechanical communication with the movable face so that movement of the face stresses the piezoelectric material. The alternator has a moving mass that serves as a substantial portion of the resonating mass inside the housing, thereby providing a pressure oscillation frequency in the housing substantially lower than for a similar system with a rigid member replacing the alternator.

    摘要: A thermoacoustic stack for connecting two heat exchangers in a thermoacoustic energy converter provides a convex fluid-solid interface in a plane perpendicular to an axis for acoustic oscillation of fluid between the two heat exchangers. The convex surfaces increase the ratio of the fluid volume in the effective thermoacoustic volume that is displaced from the convex surface to the fluid volume that is adjacent the surface within which viscous energy losses occur. Increasing the volume ratio results in an increase in the ratio of transferred thermal energy to viscous energy losses, with a concomitant increase in operating efficiency of the thermoacoustic converter. The convex surfaces may be easily provided by a pin array having elements arranged parallel to the direction of acoustic oscillations and with effective radial dimensions much smaller than the thicknesses of the viscous energy loss and thermoacoustic energy transfer volumes.
