Kouji Taniwaki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: There is provided a resonator having a piezoelectric ceramic resonator which has excellent free-fall resistance. The resonator comprises a piezoelectric ceramic resonator 2 with a vibrating electrode formed, and a substrate 3 which supports the piezoelectric ceramic resonator 2, wherein the piezoelectric ceramic resonator 2 satisfies the condition of U?0.88×H+20.28, wherein U=maximum elastic energy (kJ/m3) per unit volume, and H=drop height (m) (H>1). The present invention can be applied to a resonator 1, wherein the substrate 3 has terminal electrodes 31, 32, and the piezoelectric ceramic resonator 2 is in electrical continuity with the vibrating electrode and is supported on the substrate 3 at both ends via a conductive stator 4.
