  • Power Delivery to Diaphragms
    Publication number: 20120292401
    Abstract: A method is provided for forming tinsel on a synthetic jet actuator. The method comprises (a) providing a synthetic jet actuator assembly (201) comprising a bobbin (203), a voice coil (213), driver electronics (215), and a surround (205); and (b) printing polymer thick film (PTF) conductive ink (209) across the surround, thus connecting the voice coil to the driver electronics.

  • Systems and Methodologies for Achieving Acoustic Cancellation in Synthetic Jet Ejectors
    Publication number: 20120111969
    Abstract: A system is provided for producing synthetic jets. The system comprises a first synthetic jet ejector equipped with a first diaphragm which operates at a first frequency f1, and a second synthetic jet ejector equipped with a second diaphragm which operates at a second frequency f2. The first and second synthetic jet ejectors are positioned with respect to each other such that the sound intensity of at least one of the first and second synthetic jet ejectors is reduced through destructive interference, wherein f1 and f2 are out-of-phase by ? degrees, and wherein 20???60.
