Patent ID: 7443764

Claim:
Oscillatory apparatus comprising a capacitance component, two inductance components, and an elastic component, each said inductance component including a matrix and a spiral-coiled electrical conductor embedded in said matrix, said elastic component being interposed between and abutting said matrices, said capacitance component being electrically connected to said spiral-coiled electrical conductors in inductance-capacitance circuitry in which said capacitance component represents the capacitance and in which said spiral-coiled electrical conductors represent the inductance, wherein electrical powering of said inductance-capacitance circuitry results in oscillation toward and away from each other of said two inductance components, said oscillation being associated with electromagnetic oscillatory behavior of said inductance-capacitance circuitry and with mechanical oscillatory behavior of a spring-mass system in which said elastic component represents the spring and in which said two inductance components and a portion of fluid represent the mass, said fluid being ambient with respect to said two inductance components and said elastic component.
