Synthetic jet ejector and design thereof to facilitate mass production
First Claim
1. A method for making a synthetic jet ejector, comprising:
- providing a first voice coil body having first and second channels defined therein;
inserting first and second electrically conductive terminals into the first and second channels, respectively, of the first voice coil body;
wrapping a first coil of wire around said first voice coil body such that a first end of the first coil is in electrical contact with the first terminal, and such that a second end of the first coil is in electrical contact with the second terminal; and
attaching a first end of a flexible, electrically conductive connector to said first voice coil body such that the first end of the connector is in electrical contact with the first and second terminals.

Abstract
A method is provided for making a synthetic jet ejector. The method comprises (a) providing first and second voice coil bodies (131) having first and second sets of channels defined therein, respectively; (b) inserting first and second sets of electrically conductive terminals (139) into the first and second sets of channels, respectively; (c) wrapping first and second coils of wire (151) around said first and second voice coil bodies, respectively, such that the first coil is in electrical contact with the first set of terminals and such that the second coil is in electrical contact with the second set of terminals; (d) forming a voice coil subassembly by attaching first and second ends of a flexible, electrically conductive connector (161) to said first and second voice coil bodies, respectively, wherein the first end of the connector is attached such that it is in electrical contact with the first set of terminals, and wherein the second end of the connector is attached such that it is in electrical contact with the second set of terminals; and (e) incorporating the voice coil subassembly into a synthetic jet ejector (103) having first and second voice coils such that said first coil forms a portion of said first voice coil, and such that said second coil forms a portion of said second voice coil.
