摘要:
"Rapid Pulse Electro-Hydraulic Shock Wave Generator (eh) with Extended Electrode Life" The present invention relates to apparatus, capacitor arrays, and methods for generating therapeutic compressed acoustic waves (e.g., shock waves) . In the apparatus and in at least some of the methods, a plurality of electrodes may be arranged in a chamber which is defined by a housing and configured to be filled with liquid, and a plurality of capacitors may be electrically connected to the electrodes and may be carried ( for example, physically coupled a) by the housing. voltage pulses may be applied simultaneously to the plurality of electrodes (for example, to begin vaporizing and ionizing portions of the liquid to provide at least one conductive path between electrodes between the plurality of electrodes) and to capacitors for charging the plurality of capacitors). the plurality of capacitors may be configured to, upon reaching a limit load, discharge to the plurality of electrodes (e.g. to generate one or more arcs along one or more conductive paths between electrodes to vaporize additional portions of the liquid and generate a or more acoustic shock waves). in capacitor arrangements, a plurality of capacitors may be coupled to one or more circuit boards with a first capacitor portion arranged in a first pattern defined by a plurality of capacitor assemblies, a second part of the plurality of capacitors may be arranged in a second pattern defined by a plurality of capacitor sets, with sets defining the first pattern connected in parallel, sets defining the second pattern connected in parallel, and the circuit board (s) may be configured to be coupled to an electrode so that the electrode is in electrical communication with the capacitors and is fixed at least two degrees of freedom from one or more circuit.“aparelho gerador de onda de choque eletrohidráulica (eh) de pulso rápido com vida útil de eletrodo aumentada” a presente invenção refere-se a aparelhos
