  • Publication number: 20230335155
    Abstract: A PZT microactuator such as for a hard disk drive has a restraining layer bonded on its side that is opposite the side on which the PZT is mounted. The restraining layer comprises a stiff and resilient material such as stainless steel. The restraining layer can cover most or all of the top of the PZT, with an electrical connection being made to the PZT where it is not covered by the restraining layer. The restraining layer reduces bending of the PZT as mounted and hence increases effective stroke length, or reverses the sign of the bending which increases the effective stroke length of the PZT even further. The restraining layer can be one or more active layers of PZT material that act in the opposite direction as the main PZT layer. The restraining layer(s) may be thinner than the main PZT layer.

  • Patent number: 11769524
    Abstract: A multi-layer piezoelectric microactuator assembly has at least one poled and active piezoelectric layer and one poled but inactive piezoelectric layer. The poled but inactive layer acts as a constraining layer in resisting expansion or contract of the first piezoelectric layer thereby reducing or eliminating bending of the assembly as installed in an environment, thereby increasing the effective stroke length of the assembly. Poling only a single layer would induce stresses into the device; hence, polling both piezoelectric layers even though only one layer will be active in use reduces stresses in the device and therefore increases reliability.

  • Patent number: 11676587
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus and a device for implementing a voice application and a computer readable storage medium, which determine a feedback content and a template identifier corresponding to a voice command of a user on a server side, and the determination result is performed by the IoT device. As the Internet information is iteratively updated, the voice command is also updated, the processing function of the voice command can be updated on the server side, so that the voice application in the IoT device does not need to be updated. Therefore, the processing capability of the voice application can be updated without upgrading the voice application itself, thereby alleviating the problem of an excessively long upgrade process due to the OTA upgrade process in the prior art.
