Abstract: A system for detecting a wave occurring in/on a membrane includes a source for directing an excitation signal obliquely to the membrane and a receiver for measuring interference between a first part of the excitation signal reflected off a front surface of the membrane and a second part of the excitation signal reflected off a rear surface of the membrane. The system includes a processing device for detecting the wave based on a change in the measured interference. The detection of the wave is based on changes caused by the wave in the optical length of a V-shaped part of a propagation path of the second part of the excitation signal, where the V-shaped part of the propagation path is inside the membrane.

Abstract: Disclosed is methods and systems for cleaning devices holding fluid such as heat exchanges. The cleaning is performed by using a system such as a transducer assembly including at least one pair of protrusions acting as point-like pressure sources or at least one substantially circular protrusion acting as a substantially circular point-like pressure source, coupled to outer surface of the device to be cleaned. Accordingly, coupling of the system to device is reduced, and as a result, the system is able to operate at its fundamental resonance frequency, while the protrusions still permit power delivery to the device.

Abstract: A system for measuring pressure of an eye includes an excitation source for producing a travelling air vortex ring and for directing the travelling air vortex ring to the eye, a detector for detecting an interaction between the travelling air vortex ring and a surface of the eye, and a processing device for determining an estimate of the pressure of the eye based on the detected interaction between the travelling air vortex ring and the surface of the eye. The travelling air vortex ring is produced by directing an air pressure pulse into a flow guide, and the air pressure pulse is generated with an electric spark or otherwise so that no swinging mass, such as a piston, is needed. This is advantageous especially in a case of a handheld device because a swinging mass would tend to adversely move the handheld device during a measurement.

According to the invention, controlled cavitation is created at predetermined positions within a device. The cavitation is done by mechanical waves, such as ultrasound waves, generated by transducers, wherein the waves are based on output of time-reversal wave form analysis of the device structures.
