Abstract
A wave generating device including a wave transducer adapted to generate an energy wave, and a beam shaping device defined by revolution of a curve about an axis of revolution, the curve being arranged with respect to the transducer in a plane of the curve so as to focus a wave emanating from the transducer towards the beam shaping device to a focal point lying in the plane, the curve having an axis of symmetry in the plane, wherein the axis of revolution is generally not collinear with the axis of symmetry.

A wave generating device comprising:
- a wave transducer adapted to generate an energy wave;
- and
- a beam shaping device defined by revolution of a curve about an axis of revolution, said curve being arranged with respect to said transducer in a plane of said curve so as to focus a wave emanating from said transducer towards said beam shaping device to a focal point lying in said plane, said curve having an axis of symmetry in said plane, wherein said axis of revolution is generally not collinear with said axis of symmetry.
A wave generating device comprising:
- a wave transducer adapted to generate an energy wave;
- and
- a beam shaping device comprising a curve arranged with respect to said transducer in a plane of said curve so as to focus a wave emanating from said transducer towards said beam shaping device to a focal point lying in said plane, said curve having an axis of symmetry in said plane, wherein said wave transducer is formed by a shape revolved about an axis of revolution which is generally not collinear with said axis of symmetry.
A system comprising:
- a wave transducer adapted to generate an energy wave;
- a beam shaping device defined by revolution of a curve about an axis of revolution, said curve being arranged with respect to said transducer in a plane of said curve so as to focus a wave emanating from said transducer towards said beam shaping device to a focal point lying in said plane, said curve having an axis of symmetry in said plane, wherein said axis of revolution is generally not collinear with said axis of symmetry;
