    Abstract: The harvester comprises a pendular unit comprising a beam that is elastically deformable in bending, a mount clamping a proximal end of the beam, and an inertial mass mounted at a free, distal end of the beam. The beam converts into an oscillating electric signal a mechanical energy produced by pendular unit oscillations. The beam comprises a flexible structure including a central core, a piezoelectric layer on at least one face of the central core, and at least one surface electrode on an external face of the piezoelectric layer. The central core of the flexible structure is made of a semiconductor material adapted to form an integrated circuit substrate. The substrate made of a semiconductor material of the central core includes monolithic integrated structures, and the arrangement, over the extend of the central core substrate, of said integrated structures forms in the longitudinal direction a plurality of successive areas having different bending stiffness coefficients from an area to another.

  • Patent number: 12088221
    Abstract: The module comprises, in an envelope tube, a pendular unit comprising a piezoelectric transducer, PZT, beam, an inertial mass coupled to the free end of the beam, and a beam mount secured to the tube and fastened to a clamping part of the beam. The module further includes a symmetrization insert for calibrating and symmetrizing the pendular unit oscillations in transverse and lateral directions. The symmetrization insert is distinct from the beam mount and comprises a peripheral portion secured to the tube independently of the beam mount, and a central portion with an axial through-cavity inside which the beam extends in said region of free travel. The axial cavity extends between opposite travel limitation surfaces, which are symmetrical and capable of coming into contact with the beam in a bending configuration of the beam.

  • Patent number: 12064621
    Abstract: The device has a device body with a front face at its distal end, and a means for the anchoring of the medical device to a patient's organ wall. The anchoring means includes a screw with a helix wire wound into a plurality of non-contiguous turns, the screw having a clamped end integral with the front face of the device body and a free end with a beveled end defined by at least one oblique surface. The helix wire includes, at its free distal end, a terminal region whose wire bending stiffness is lower than in a proximal region of the helix turns. The stiffness difference may, in particular, be obtained by varying the wire diameter over different successive portions, with decreasing diameters in a proximal to distal direction.

  • Patent number: 12032205
    Abstract: A method of co-manufacturing silicon waveguides, SiN waveguides, and semiconductor structures in a photonic integrated circuit. A silicon waveguide structure can be formed using a suitable process, after which it is buried in a cladding. The cladding is polished, and a silicon nitride layer is disposed to define a silicon nitride waveguide. The silicon nitride waveguide is buried in a cladding, and annealed. Thereafter, cladding above the silicon waveguide structure can be trenched through, and low-temperature operations can be performed to or with an exposed surface of the silicon waveguide structure.

  • Publication number: 20240128992
    Abstract: A programmable filter for electronic signals. The filter includes an input that splits power of the input signal along two paths, a first and second path that is phase shifted by ninety degrees in respect of the first path. The first and second path are each modulated to the optical domain, and provided as input to respective filter chains. The in-phase signal can be filtered by IIR or FIR optical filters with configurable operation, as well the shifted signal can be filtered by a second chain of IIR and FIR optical filters with configurable operation. Resulting output from each filter chain is recombined and demodulated from the optical domain. In this manner, the electronic filter can adopt any suitable impulse response, including impulse responses described with complex coefficients. Real parts can be configured by operation of the first filter chain and imaginary parts by operation of the second filter chain.
