SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSLATING, LEVITATING, AND OR TREATING OBJECTS IN A RESONATING CHAMBER

摘要

A process for translating objects a resonating chamber is described. The process includes: (i) obtaining a resonating chamber filled with a fluid medium and objects disposed therein; and (ii) generating one or more different standing waves to convey said objects from their disposed position to another location inside the resonating chamber. Using the above-described translating process, the objects may be positioned at a cavitation zone inside the resonating chamber. In one aspect of the present teachings, the objects are then subject to acoustic cavitation to convert at least some of the objects from one state to another state.

1. A process for translating objects in a resonating chamber, comprising:
obtaining a resonating chamber filled with a fluid medium and having objects disposed therein, and said resonating chamber having coupled thereto one or more transducers; generating a first standing wave, using one or more of said transducers, through said fluid medium, such that at least one of a first high pressure location and/or at least one of a first zero pressure location associated with said first standing wave is distributed inside said resonating chamber, and at least some of said objects are positioned at either of said at least one first high pressure location and/or said at least one first zero pressure location; ceasing said generating said first standing wave; generating a second standing wave, using one or more of said transducers, through said fluid medium, such that at least one of a second high pressure location and/or at least one of a second zero pressure location associated with said second standing wave is distributed inside said resonating chamber, and at least some of said objects are translated from said first high pressure location to said second high pressure location and/or are translated from said first zero pressure location to said second zero pressure location.
