DEVICE FOR CAUSING PARTICLES IN A STANDING WAVE FIELD TO ALIGN IN A DESIRED CONFIGURATION AND FUSING THEM INTO THIS CONFIGURATION

摘要

At least one transducer (102,104) of an apparatus in one example is configured to generate a first standing wave field within a cavity (108). The first standing wave field exerts a first field- induced force to cause a plurality of particles within the cavity to align in a desired configuration. The at least one transducer is configured to generate a second standing wave field within the cavity. The second standing wave field causes one or more of the plurality of particles within the cavity to fuse into the desired configuration.
