摘要： The apparatus includes a housing, a compression chamber disposed in the housing and having at least a first interface operable to vary a volume of the compression chamber, an expansion chamber disposed in the housing and having a second interface operable to vary a volume of at least the expansion chamber, and a thermal regenerator in fluid communication with each of the compression chamber and the expansion chamber. The thermal regenerator is operable to alternatively receive thermal energy from gas flowing in a first direction through the regenerator and to deliver the thermal energy to gas flowing in a direction opposite to the first direction through the regenerator. The compression chamber, the expansion chamber, and the regenerator together define a working volume for containing a pressurized working gas. Each of the first and second interfaces are configured for reciprocating motion in a direction aligned with a transducer axis, the reciprocating motion being operable to cause a periodic exchange of working gas between the expansion and the compression chambers. In one aspect, at least one of the first and second interfaces includes a resilient diaphragm, and a cylindrical tube spring coupled between the diaphragm and the housing, the tube spring being configured to elastically deform in a direction generally aligned with the transducer axis in response to forces imparted on the tube spring by the diaphragm to cause the at least one of the first and second interfaces to have a desired natural frequency. In another aspect the apparatus includes a first heat exchanger in communication with the expansion chamber, a second heat exchanger in communication with the compression chamber, the thermal regenerator is disposed between the first and second heat exchangers, and each of the first and second heat exchangers are peripherally disposed within the housing with respect to the transducer axis and configured to receive working gas flowing to or from the respective chambers and to redirect the working gas flow through the regenerator.

摘要： A Stirling cycle transducer apparatus for converting between thermal energy and mechanical energy is disclosed. The apparatus includes an expansion chamber and a compression chamber disposed in spaced apart relation along a longitudinal axis. The apparatus also includes at least one communication passage extending between the expansion chamber and the compression chamber and being operable to permit a periodic exchange of a working gas between the expansion and the compression chambers. The at least one communication passage includes an access conduit in communication with at least one of the expansion chamber and the compression chamber, and a thermal regenerator in communication with the access conduit. The regenerator is operable to alternatively receive thermal energy from gas flowing in a first direction through the communication passage and to deliver the thermal energy to gas flowing in a direction through the communication passage opposite to the first direction. In one aspect, the access conduit includes a compliant portion that is operable to deflect under thermally induced strains caused by a temperature gradient established between the expansion chamber and the compression chamber during operation. In another aspect at least one of the expansion chamber and the compression chamber may include a surface along which gas flows during the periodic exchange of the working gas and the surface may include a plurality of channels formed therein, the plurality of channels being oriented to direct gas flow in the compression chamber to and from the communication passage.

摘要： A common electrohydrodynamic stimulation electrode, in response to an electrical signal, synchronously stimulates all members of a group of fluid jets emitted from corresponding nozzle channels to form a corresponding plurality of continuous streams of drops. The common electrohydrodynamic stimulation electrode includes an electrical contact operable to transmit the electrical signal to each member of the nozzle channels via a contiguous electrically conductive portion. The contiguous electrically conductive portion forms a permanently electrically conductive path between and forms a portion of each nozzle channel. Synchronous stimulation of each of the fluid jets facilitates accurate phase locking of print data dependent charging of the drop streams.
