Abstract

879,824. Electrostatic machines; voltage multipliers. GENERAL ULTRASONICS CO. Dec. 22, 1959, No. 43525/59. Classes 35 and 38 (2). A D.C. biasing voltage to maintain prepolarization of an electrostrictive vibrator is derived from the A.C. energizing supply, and is proportional to it. As shown in Fig. 1, an A.C. source 10 charges the electrodes 13, 14 of an electrostrictive transducer 11, e.g. of barium titanate, in the same sense (determined by a rectifier 15) as the transducer's remanent polarization. In this arrangement the charge is at substantially the peak voltage of the source, as it is in a modification (Fig. 4, not shown), but a voltage doubler circuit, Fig. 5, or a cascade arrangement which quadruples the peak voltage (Fig. 6, not shown) may be employed. The biasing voltage causes the transducer to operate at a favourable part of its " hysteresis " loop, where losses are small and above the point of remanence.
