  • Patent number: 11268870
    Abstract: A haptic signalizing device comprises a number of piezoelectric elements arranged below a device surface such that mechanical deformations caused by the converse piezoelectric effect in the at least one piezoelectric element make the device surface to move such that the device surface follows the piezoelectric element and a driving circuit configured to cause the converse piezoelectric effect on the at least one piezoelectric element by generating an alternating electric field over the piezoelectric element in a bipolar fashion, that is, consecutively in both the same and the opposite direction with respect to the polarization of the piezoelectric element, to make the piezoelectric element to move beyond its initial position consecutively in both directions.

  • Publication number: 20200393315
    Abstract: A high frequency response pressure sensor based on direct current glow discharge plasma principle is provided, including: discharging electrodes including a cathode and an anode and used for generating a plasma between the cathode and the anode under the effect of a high voltage direct current power supply; a support structure used for supporting and fixing the discharging electrodes and ensuring that a stable gap is provided between the cathode and the anode; and a shielding casing used for shielding the plasma from an external gas so that the plasma remains unaffected by a flow speed of the external gas and senses only a change in pressure of the external gas. The high frequency response pressure sensor is not affected by mass inertia and has the potential of breaking through MHz high frequency response.
