Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A signal transmission system including a first transducer mounted to a surface of a member, a second transducer movable into contact with a second surface of the member, a material disposed between the second transducer and the second surface of the member. A method for communicating acoustic energy through a member including pressing a second transducer to a second surface of the member, the member having a first transducer mounted to an opposite surface thereof, sandwiching a material between the second transducer and the second surface of the member, and transmitting a signal between the first transducer and the second transducer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A signal transmission system comprising: a first transducer mounted to a surface of a member; a second transducer movable into contact with a second surface of the member; a material disposed between the second transducer and the second surface of the member, wherein the material is a pad on the second transducer. 2. A signal transmission system comprising: a first transducer mounted to a surface of a member; a second transducer movable into contact with a second surface of the member; a material disposed between the second transducer and second surface of the member wherein the material is a coating on the second transducer. 3. The system as claimed in claim 2 wherein the material is a complete coating of the second transducer. 4. A signal transmission system comprising: a first transducer mounted to a surface of a member; a second transducer movable into contact with a second surface of the member; a material disposed between the second transducer and the second surface of the member wherein the material is a coating on the member. 5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the material excludes contaminates from between the second transducer and the second surface of the member. 6. A signal transmission system comprising: a first transducer mounted to a surface of a member; a second transducer movable into contact with a second surface of the member; a material disposed between the second transducer and the second surface of the member, wherein the material is rubber. 7. A signal transmission system comprising: a first transducer mounted to a surface of a member; a second transducer movable into contact with a second surface of the member; a material disposed between the second transducer and the second surface of the member, wherein the material is plastic.
