Patent ID: 7461719

Claim:
A resonator system comprising: a component having an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface, the component having a first region transitioning into a second region, the first region having a first thickness and the second region having a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness, wherein the first region is defined by a depression formed in at least one of the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the component, wherein a first plurality of passages extend through the first thickness of the component in the first region; and a resonator including a resonator plate and at least one side wall extending from and about the resonator plate, at least one side wall connecting to the outer peripheral surface of the component so as to enclose at least some of the first plurality of passages, wherein the first thickness is substantially uniform in at least a portion of the first region enclosed by the resonator, wherein a cavity is defined between the outer peripheral surface and the resonator, the first plurality of passages being in fluid communication with the cavity.
