Abstract:
A system, apparatus, and method for processing substrates using acoustic energy. In one aspect, the invention can be a system for processing flat articles including a support for supporting the flat article and an acoustic energy treatment apparatus. The acoustic energy treatment apparatus may include a support arm and a plurality of transducer assemblies coupled thereto. The transducer assemblies may include a housing with a transducer coupled thereto, and the housings of the transducer assemblies may be arranged in an end-to-end manner. A trough may also be included that extends along at least a portion of a length of the transducer assemblies. The trough may serve as a reservoir that upon being filled and overflowed with a liquid allows the liquid to fluidly couple the transducer assemblies to the flat article.

Claim (Index 7):
The system according to  claim 6  further comprising a liquid manifold forming a liquid pathway through the support arm, the liquid manifold comprising first and second walls extending upwardly from the floor of the trough and located between the first and second sidewalls of the trough, the first wall of the liquid manifold spaced apart from the first sidewall of the trough by a third gap and the second wall of the liquid manifold spaced apart from the second sidewall of the trough by a fourth gap.
