Transducer assembly
First Claim
1. A piezoelectric assembly, comprising at least one piezoelectric element and at least one electrode assembled to lie between an energy delivery member and a pre-loading member, in which the electrode further comprises, where in contact with the piezoelectric element, an adherent coating of a material which is sufficiently compliant so as to deform under the pre-loading stress and conform to the surface of the piezoelectric element.
