20100133447 | Acousto-Optical Test and Analysis Cavitation Chamber - An apparatus for cavitation and sonoluminescence is provided. In some embodiments the apparatus provides high-intensity shock waves that modify the properties of the liquid medium in the resonator and thereby alter the optical and electrical properties of the liquid. Methods for studying the acoustical and optical characteristics of the liquid and the sound fields in such scenarios are enabled and thereby testing and analysis of the same are made possible. | 06-03-2010 |
20100200417 | Method and Apparatus for Electrodeposition in Metal Acoustic Resonators - Methods and systems for electrodeposition of Indium, Gallium, or other metals within a metal acoustic resonator chamber are provided, including for electrodeposition of Indium or Gallium as a strike layer on an interior surface of a cavitation chamber. The resultant strike layer affords an accommodating wetting surface for subsequent filling with a liquid metal and performing cavitation therein. In some embodiments, this allows for the use of liquid metal in an acoustic resonator without the damping effects inherent with oxide boundaries or other defects. | 08-12-2010 |
20120145556 | System and Method for Causing Cavitation in a Liquid Metal - Systems and methods for achieving cavitation at high static pressures which may be used in acoustic applications and research such as in liquid metal resonators. Novel preparation and electroplating methods are disclosed to improve boundary layer conditions. A chemical cleaning loop for containment and treatment for oxide removal and to develop a dynamic system for chemically treating liquid metal disposed in a liquid metal loop is also described. A liquid metal handling loop for containment and treatment is provided to maintain cleanliness of bulk liquid metal. | 06-14-2012 |

20120121469 | Pressurized Acoustic Resonator With Fluid Flow-Through Feature - Acoustic resonators and systems for controlling the same to cause desired reactions and physical effects therein are described. Some aspects are directed to an acoustic cavitation resonator that can be placed under high static pressure and to which a set of ultrasonic drivers are coupled so as to cause cavitation in the resonator during operation. Inlet and outlet ports allow introduction of one or more fluid species into the resonator so that the desired processing of the fluids can be accomplished under pressure and in the presence of cavitation. | 05-17-2012 |
20120216876 | Suppression and Separation of Interactive Acoustic Modes in a Fluid-Filled Resonator - A method and an apparatus for systematic suppression and separation of interactive acoustic modes within a liquid-filled spherical resonator are described. The method and apparatus allow for augmenting the response and acoustic energy of liquid-filled spherical shell resonators. In some aspects, manipulation of acoustic resonant modes is used to achieve desirable conditions. The response of a system can be influenced by one or more of the interactive modes, which are more sensitive to a change in the speed of sound. This is attained in some cases by changing parameters, which are a function of the speed of sound in a liquid medium, such as, temperature and pressure. | 08-30-2012 |
