    摘要: A speaker device for emitting subsonic, sonic or ultrasonic compression waves comprising a generally hollow drum, a rigid emitter plate attached to the drum, and a plurality of apertures formed within the plate which are covered by a thin piezoelectric film disposed across the emitter plate. A pressure source is coupled to the drum for developing a biasing pressure with respect to the thin film at the apertures to distend the film into an arcuate emitter configuration capable of constricting and extending in response to variations in the applied electrical input at the piezoelectric film to thereby create a compression wave in a surrounding environment. Parametric ultrasonic frequency input is supplied to the piezoelectric film to propagate multiple ultrasonic frequencies having a difference component corresponding to the desired subsonic, sonic or ultrasonic frequency range.

    摘要: An ultrasound therapy system and method for providing therapeutic treatment to tissues using multiple, user-selectable frequencies generated from a single applicator sound head. The multi-frequency ultrasound therapy system and method includes a generator/control unit having a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring the generation and output of ultrasonic energy. A precision oscillator is connected to the microprocessor, and wave shaping circuitry is also provided to generate a wave-form for amplification by an output amplifier. The amplified high frequency wave-form is supplied to and drives an applicator sound head at an appropriate frequency for producing the desired therapeutic ultrasonic waves for treatment. Bonded to a cup member and positioned within the applicator sound head is a transducer crystal which converts high frequency wave-forms into mechanical (acoustic) vibrations, thus producing thermal energy in the form of heat for penetration into tissues under treatment. Both the transducer crystal and the applicator cup are designed with the capability of providing at least three different output frequencies from a single applicator sound head, while supplying three different penetration depths for treating a patient's tissues.

    摘要: A digitizer uses acoustic waves originating from a stylus to determine the position of the stylus on a plate. The acoustic waves are introduced into the plate from the tip of the stylus and are detected by a plurality of detectors positioned at various points along the periphery of the plate. By sensing differences in the arrival times of the acoustic waves at the detectors, a microprocessor calculates the position of the stylus. In a preferred embodiment using a non-tethered stylus, four detectors are positioned at the corners of a rectangle, and the time differences are used as addresses in a lookup table, which is programmed to contain x and y coordinates corresponding to the time differences, Different embodiments may detect only the "fast" symmetrical waves or only the "slow" antisymmetrical waves generated in the plate, or may use the arrival times of both types of waves to determine the stylus position.
