Method and apparatus for ultrasonic interface detection

An unloaded ultrasonic horn assembly is driven at its resonant frequency. As the horn encounters an interface and becomes loaded a feedback signal representative of this fact is generated. An output signal responsive to the loss of the feedback signal provides an indication of the encountering of th...
