Abstract
A device and method for assembling objects by generating an axial acoustic radiation force in order to position the objects on pressure nodes and/or antinodes and generating a transverse acoustic radiation force in order to move the thus positioned objects on a porous membrane contact structure.
Claims11
1-10. (canceled)
A device for assembling objects, comprising:
- a cavity configured to receive a fluid and the objects,
- a generating system configured to generate in the cavity, along an axial direction, a standing acoustic wave so as to produce an axial acoustic radiation force suitable for positioning objects on pressure nodes and/or antinodes formed by the acoustic wave,
- characterized in that it comprises a contact structure forming one or more surfaces extending along the axial direction and in that the generating system is configured to exert a transverse acoustic radiation force capable of displacing the objects towards the surface(s) of the contact structure.
