Claim Text:
1. An ultrasonic liquid treatment and delivery system comprising: an ultrasonic treatment device comprising: a housing having an internal chamber and an inlet in fluid communication with the internal chamber of the housing whereby liquid enters the internal chamber and an outlet in fluid communication with the internal chamber of the housing through which liquid exits the ultrasonic treatment device; an ultrasonic waveguide disposed at least in part within the internal chamber of the housing to ultrasonically energize liquid within the internal chamber prior to said liquid being exhausted from the housing through the outlet, the ultrasonic waveguide having an agitating member extending outward from the ultrasonic waveguide within the internal chamber of the housing intermediate the inlet and the outlet, the agitating member and the ultrasonic waveguide being constructed and arranged for dynamic motion of the agitating member relative to the ultrasonic waveguide upon ultrasonic vibration of the ultrasonic waveguide; and an excitation device operable to ultrasonically excite said ultrasonic waveguide and the agitating member; and an ultrasonic delivery device in fluid communication with the ultrasonic treatment device to receive liquid from the ultrasonic treatment device following treatment of the liquid by said treatment device, the ultrasonic delivery device comprising: a housing having an internal chamber, an inlet for receiving liquid from the treatment device into the internal chamber of the delivery device housing and at least one exhaust port in fluid communication with the internal chamber of the delivery device housing whereby liquid within said internal chamber exits the delivery device housing at said at least one exhaust port; an ultrasonic waveguide separate from the delivery device housing, said waveguide being disposed at least in part within the internal chamber of the delivery device housing to ultrasonically energize liquid within said internal chamber prior to said liquid being exhausted from said housing through the at least one exhaust port; and an excitation device operable to ultrasonically excite said ultrasonic waveguide of said delivery device.
