Abstract: An investigation of noncontact manipulation techniques based on acoustic levitation was undertaken in air. The standing wave acoustic levitation (SWAL) was observed when standing waves trap small objects at pressure nodes. ...

Abstract: A feasibility study on developing a smallscale thermoacoustic cooler based on form and size factors for a typical cell phone is presented. First, an approximate analytical model for the temperature difference was derived ...

Abstract: In this study, a convection cooling technique for handheld electronic devices is proposed and investigated. The technique uses bulk airflows generated by a vibrating cantilever beam actuated by a rotating imbalance motor. ...
