  • Signal transmitter device comprising an electrical acoustic signal transmitter
    Patent number: 8644114
    Abstract: A signal transmitter device comprises an electrical acoustic signal transmitter signal, which has a piezoceramic disk on a metal membrane, on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has an opening in the region of the piezoceramic disk or the metal membrane, wherein the metal membrane extends over the opening for the purpose of bearing on the printed circuit board in an edge region of the opening. The piezoceramic disk arranged on the metal membrane is arranged towards the opening and substantially in the region of the opening, wherein a contact projection as part of the printed circuit board for electrical contact-connection to the signal transmitter is provided at the edge region of the opening. Separate parts can thus be obviated.

  • Operating Device for an Electric Domestic Appliance and Operating Method
    Publication number: 20110302533
    Abstract: An operating device for an electric domestic appliance has an operating panel with operating elements, wherein the operating elements are touch switches, which can be actuated by placing a finger on the operating panel or moving a finger over the operating panel. The operating device advantageously has a large touch screen. The operating panel has at least in the area of the operating elements a convexly curved surface contour, so that virtual rollers can be simulated by the display in the form of the touch screen and can be rotated by moving the finger over it. Selected functions are activated by touching them.
