Abstract
An apparatus is provided including at least one electronic component. The apparatus also includes an enclosure enclosing the at least one electronic component. The enclosure includes at least one wall defined by a membrane. The apparatus further includes a piezoelectric actuator that is fixed at a first end and rigidly attached to the membrane at a second end. Application of alternating current to the piezoelectric actuator generates a pulsating mechanical deformation of the membrane.
