Patent ID: 7678306

Claim:
A method of extracting media from an elastomeric tooling with media, the media being added to provide rigidity during processing, comprising; inserting a vacuum into the tooling; removing media from the tooling using the vacuum; and vibrating the tooling during removing media to dislodge the media in the tooling, wherein vibrating further comprises: generating a first current flow in a first conductor located in the tooling thereby creating a first magnetic field around the first conductor; and breaking at least one clump of solid media in the tooling into smaller pieces of solid media to aid dislodgment of the media by producing a vibration in the tooling by generating a second current flow opposite the first current flow in a second conductor located in the tooling and being in proximity to the first conductor thereby creating a second magnetic field around the second conductor; wherein the first and second magnetic fields force the first and second conductors apart thereby producing the vibration in the tooling.
