  • Capacitor and a method of manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 8697516
    Abstract: A capacitor (110), wherein the capacitor (110) comprises a capacitor dielectric (112) comprising a dielectric matrix (114) of a first value of permittivity, and a plurality of nanoclusters (116) of a second value of permittivity which is larger than the first value of permittivity which are at least partially embedded in the dielectric matrix (114), wherein the plurality of nanoclusters (116) are formed in the dielectric matrix (114) by spontaneous nucleation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 11, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 15, 2014
    Assignee: NXP, B.V.
    Inventors: Yukiko Furukawa, Jinesh Balakrishna Pillai Kochupurackal, Johan Hendrik Klootwijk, Frank Pasveer
  • Proximity sensor, in particular microphone for reception of sound signals in the human audible sound range, with ultrasonic proximity estimation
    Patent number: 8401513
    Abstract: Proximity sensor, particularly for usage in an electronic mobile device, comprising at least one acoustic transducer adapted for receiving acoustic signals at least in parts of the frequency range of human audible sound and emitting and/or receiving ultrasonic signals for proximity estimation. The acoustic transducer preferably is a Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) microphone. Further, a method in an electronic device comprising an acoustic transducer is provided comprising the steps of generating at least one electric signal in the frequency range of ultrasonic sound, emitting at least one ultrasonic signal by means of the acoustic transducer; receiving at least one ultrasonic signal by means of the acoustic transducer; deducing from the at least one emitted ultrasonic signal and the at least one received ultrasonic signal at least the delay between emission of the emitted ultrasonic signal and reception of the corresponding ultrasonic signal.
