Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
AN UNDERWATER ELECTRACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER COMPRISING A SUBSTANTIALLY CYLINDRICAL, RIGID, HOLLOW MEMBER HAVING A PAIR OF OPPOSITELY POSITIONED OPEN ENDS, A PAIR OF MOVABLE SUBSTANTIALLY CYLINDRICAL PISTONS, EACH PISTON BEING LOCATED AT A RESPECTIVE END OF THE CYLINDRICAL MEMBER AND SLIDEABLE KN PROXIMITY TO THE INTERIOR WALL THEREOF, A CONTROL ELEMENT, ELECTROMOTIVE MEANS CONTAINED WITHIN EACH OF SAID PISTONS AND COUPLED TO SAID CONTROL ELEMENT FOR SYNCHRONOUSLY MOVING SAID PISTONS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, A FLUID SPRING CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF LIQUID SILICONE FILLING THE VOLUME WITHIN THE MEMBER BETWEEN SAID PISTONS, AND MEANS CARRIED BY EACH OF SAID PISTONS FOR RETAINING THE LIQUID SILICONE WITHIN THE MEMBER.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
111 words
A CIRCUIT FOR EFFECTING ENERGY TRANSFER BETWEEN A FIRST AND SECOND CORE COMPRISING FIRST ELECTROMAGNETIC MEANS COUPLED TO SAID FIRST CORE FOR CHANGING THE FLUX OF SAID FIRST CORE IN A FIRST DIRECTION, SECOND ELECTROMAGNETIC MEANS COUPLED TO SAID SECOND CORE FOR CHANGING THE FLUX OF SAID SECOND CORE IN A SECOND DIRECTION AT A DIFFERENT TIME THAN WHEN THE FLUX OF SAID FIRST CORE IS CHANGED IN THE FIRST DIRECTION, A FIRST COIL WOUND ON SAID FIRST CORE AND A SECOND COIL WOUND ON SAID SECOND CORE, A FIRST RECTIFYING MEANS COUPLED BETWEEN ONE END OF SAID FIRST COIL AND ONE END OF SAID SECOND COIL FOR PERMITTING CURRENT FLOW
