  • Patent number: 11967945
    Abstract: Acoustic resonator devices and filters are disclosed. An acoustic resonator includes a substrate and a single-crystal piezoelectric plate. A back surface of a supported portion of the piezoelectric plate is attached to a surface of the substrate. A portion of the piezoelectric plate forms a diaphragm that spans a cavity in the substrate. An interdigital transducer (IDT) is formed on a front surface of the piezoelectric plate. The IDT includes first and second busbars, and interleaved fingers extending alternately from the first and second busbars. Overlapping portions of the interleaved fingers are disposed on the diaphragm. At least portions of both the first and second busbars are disposed on the supported portion of the piezoelectric plate.

  • Patent number: 11963650
    Abstract: A sliding-pivoting mechanism for a rack includes two pivot arms pivotably secured to the carcass, arranged parallel to one another, and forming a parallel guide for a pull-out guide having a guide rail and a running rail to which the rack is fastened. A locking mechanism is arranged on the guide rail and on one of the pivot arms to prevent a simultaneous pivoting and sliding movement. The locking mechanism has a locking pin arranged movably on one of the pivot arms and a locking plate mounted in a positionally fixed manner with respect to the guide rail and which interacts with the locking pin to block a pivoting movement of the pivot arms if the rack is lifted into an upper loading and unloading position. An unlocking device, coupled to the locking mechanism, has an actuating element and an unlocking element to move the locking pin from a blocking position into a release position.

  • Patent number: 11949402
    Abstract: An acoustic resonator is fabricated by bonding a first piezoelectric plate to a substrate and spans locations for a first and second cavity in the substrate. A top surface of the first piezoelectric plate is planarized to a first thickness. A bonding layer is formed on the first piezoelectric plate and spans the first and second cavity locations. A second piezoelectric plate is bonded to the bonding layer and spans the first and second cavity locations. A portion of the second piezoelectric plate spanning the second cavity location is etched away to form a first membrane over the first cavity location and a second membrane over the second cavity location. Interdigital transducers are formed on the first and second membranes over the first and second cavity location to form a first and second resonator on the same die.

  • Publication number: 20240080312
    Abstract: Aspects of subject technology provide systems and methods for generation and distribution of a stable identifier associated with multiple aliases of a user account. The stable identifier may be provided to various electronic devices by a server, responsive to requests associated with communications to those devices from one of the associated aliases. In this way, messaging applications can utilize the stable identifier to merge conversations from a single user having multiple aliases, and secure access to a secure device can be provided to an authorized user, even if the authorized user attempts access from an unauthorized account alias.

  • Patent number: 7437236
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to customize the properties of the drive assembly of motor vehicles comprising an intake system, an exhaust system, and/or an internal combustion engine. For this purpose, the mechanical properties of a serial drive assembly, the engine parameters efficiency and rotational torque, and the acoustics of the serial intake and/or exhaust system are stored in a database in an initial step. Furthermore, the construction features of the serial drive assembly that can be customized are stored in the database with their variation parameters and limitations. After varying at least one construction feature, the modifications of the engine parameters resulting therefrom are calculated and stored as a parameter difference. Likewise, the resulting changes of the acoustic features are calculated and stored as sound difference. Thereafter, the original values of the serial drive assembly are overwritten with the difference values and reproduced acoustically.
