Patent number: 7936641Abstract: An embodiment of a device for generating an acoustic signal in a fluid includes an engine operable to repeat a thermodynamic process to vibrate a membrane of the engine to generate an acoustic signal having more than one period. The thermodynamic process includes heating mass inside a chamber of an engine to generate pressure inside the chamber; in response to generating the pressure, moving in a first direction a portion of a membrane of the engine; removing mass from inside the chamber to decrease the pressure inside the chamber; and in response to decreasing the pressure inside the chamber, moving the membrane portion in a second direction. In an embodiment, because the engine repeats the thermodynamic process, the engine can generate and sustain an acoustic signal for a significant amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: John Rapp, Nicholas John Nagurny, Robert J. Howard, Jared Gilbert, Eliot Goldstein, John Gornowich, Matthew Herbek, Nicole Anderson, Austin Lu, Jennifer Dolson, Ariel Brown, Gordon Briggs
