  • Publication number: 20130051588
    Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer has reduced loss due to acoustic waves emitted in the transverse direction. For this purpose, a transducer comprises a central excitation area, inner edge areas flanking the central excitation area, outer edge areas flanking the inner edge areas, and areas of the busbar flanking the outer edge areas. The longitudinal speed of the areas can be set so that the excitation profile of a piston mode is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20120240609
    Abstract: A cooling device for cooling a test sample has at least two cascade cooling stages, each with at least one coolant line, one compressor (1.1, 2.1), one relief throttle (1.4, 2.4), one evaporator (6, 7) and one liquefier (3, 6). The cooling device has an additional relief throttle disposed between the evaporator (7) of the last cascade cooling stage and the compressor (2.1) of the last cascade cooling stage. This represents a simple possibility of adjusting the cooling temperature, thereby avoiding the use of valves that can be adjusted at low temperatures, since these are complex and expensive.

  • Publication number: 20120240610
    Abstract: A cooling device for cooling a test sample has at least two cascade cooling stages, each with at least one coolant line, one compressor (1.1, 2.1), one relief throttle (1.5), one evaporator (6, 7) and one liquefier (3, 6). The coolant line is divided into n partial lines (A, B) between the compressor (2.1) and the liquefier (6) of the last cascade cooling stage, wherein n?2. Each divided n partial line (A, B) has a valve (2.7, 2.8) and an individual relief throttle (2.5, 2.6). The divided partial lines (A, B) are connected to the evaporator (7) of the last cascade cooling stage. This represents a simple possibility of adjusting the cooling temperature without using valves that must be adjusted in a cold state, since such valves are complex and expensive.

  • Patent number: 7538637
    Abstract: An acoustic wave transducer includes an acoustic track having electrode fingers for different electrodes. The electrode fingers engage to form exciting finger pairs. The acoustic track also includes marginal areas and an excitation area. The electrode fingers engage in the excitation area. The marginal areas and the excitation area are located along a transverse direction of the acoustic wave transducer. A longitudinal phase speed of an acoustic wave in the acoustic track is less in a marginal area than in the excitation area, and the acoustic wave is excitable and has a transversal basic mode. The following applies in the transversal basic mode for a wave number ky: (ky)2>0 in a marginal area, and (ky)2<0 in an exterior area outside the acoustic track. ky is smaller in the excitation area than in the marginal areas and in the exterior area.
