Title: Innovations of John Artis
Introduction
John Artis is an accomplished inventor based in Santa Rosa, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of acoustophoretic systems, holding three patents that showcase his innovative approach to technology.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for an "Acoustic Transducer Driver and Controller." This invention involves an acoustophoretic system that is controlled and driven to achieve a desired level of performance. The system utilizes an RF controller and a driver to provide frequency and power to an acoustic transducer, which can be implemented as a piezoelectric element. This invention presents a reactive load or a complex load, and the controller implements a control technique for efficient transducer operation. The control technique can locate a frequency for operation that is at a reactance minimum or maximum, allowing the system to produce a modal pattern and provide efficient operation of the transducer.
Another notable patent is the "Driver and Control for Variable Impedance Load." This invention employs an acoustic standing wave to separate components from a multi-component fluid, such as oil from an oil-water mixture. The flow scheme and device allow for the trapping of oil as it coalesces, agglomerates, and becomes more buoyant than water. The driver and controller for the acoustophoretic device accommodate variable loading as the components are separated, thereby improving separation efficiency.
