Abstract: A grinding unit, a cartridge for the grinding unit and use of same for grinding coffee beans. A grinding unit (1) comprises a ring burr (2) and a frustoconical burr (3) that together delimit a grinding gap (30) therebetween. A first angle θ between a first subset of curved teeth (20a) of the frustoconical burr (3) and the first curved teeth of the ring burr (2) provides a grinding gap (30) having an angle smaller than a second angle ϕ between a second subset of curved teeth (20b) of the frustoconical burr (3) and the first curved teeth of the ring burr (2). A geometrical outline (P) taken through the cusps (21;22) of the second curved teeth (20a,20b) at the top end face (17a;52a) of the frustoconical burr (3;50) opposite the base (16) is substantially a square or a rectangle. This grinding unit produces a resulting grinded product, such as grinded coffee beans, with fewer turns than known grinding units and at less effort. The properties and qualities of the resulting grinded products are superior to grinded products obtained with conventional grinding units. In case that coffee is grinded substantially no flavour and aroma are lost by grinding. A cartridge for the grinding units is also provided. Fig. 1

Abstract: A plurality of control points (10) are defined which each have a known spatial relationship relative to an array of transducers. An amplitude is assigned to each control point (12). A matrix (16) is produced containing elements which represent, for each of the control points, the effect that producing a modeled acoustic field having the assigned amplitude with a particular phase at the control point has on the consequential amplitude and phase of the modeled acoustic field at the other control points (14). Eigenvectors of the matrix (18) are determined, each eigenvector representing a set of phases and relative amplitudes of the modeled acoustic field at the control points. One of the sets (20) is selected and the transducer array is operated to cause one or more of the transducers to output an acoustic wave each having an initial amplitude and phase such that the phases and amplitudes of the resultant acoustic field at the control points correspond to the phases and relative amplitudes of the selected set (22, 24).
