The Enterprise-B fires a resonance burst into the energy ribbon
A resonance burst is a type of energetic discharge that can be produced by a starship's navigational deflector or warp core.
Voyager emits a resonance burst
In 2293, Captain Kirk modified the deflector relays aboard the USS Enterprise-B to make it possible for the ship to fire a resonance burst from the ship's deflector. The burst simulated an antimatter discharge, disrupting a powerful gravimetric field emanating from an energy ribbon in which the Enterprise had become trapped. (Star Trek Generations)
In 2372, B'Elanna Torres was able to modify the USS Voyager's warp core to produce a resonance burst, in an effort to block a psionic field being generated by the Botha. The procedure involved sequencing the magnetic plasma constriction to open a symmetrical warp field. The plasma constriction was set to a temperature of three million Kelvin, a temperature high enough to emit the resonance burst, but not so high as to irradiate the ship.
