  • Patent number: 8436516
    Abstract: An acoustic resonator device includes a composite first electrode on a substrate, a piezoelectric layer on the composite electrode, and a second electrode on the piezoelectric layer. The first electrode includes a buried temperature compensating layer having a positive temperature coefficient. The piezoelectric layer has a negative temperature coefficient, and thus the positive temperature coefficient of the temperature compensating layer offsets at least a portion of the negative temperature coefficient of the piezoelectric layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 24, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2013

  • Publication number: 20130049545
    Abstract: An acoustic resonator includes a substrate and a first composite electrode disposed over the substrate. The first composite electrode includes first and second electrically conductive layers and a first temperature compensating layer disposed between the first and second electrically conductive layers. The second electrically conductive layer forms a first electrical contact with the first electrically conductive layer on at least one side of the first temperature compensating layer, and the first electrical contact electrically shorts a first capacitive component of the first temperature compensating layer.

  • Patent number: 7481112
    Abstract: A MEMS silicon inertial sensor formed of a mass that is supported and constrained to vibrate in only specified ways. The sensors can be separately optimized from the support, to adjust the sensitivity separate from the bandwidth. The sensor can sense three dimensionally, or can only sense in a single plane.

  • Patent number: 6776169
    Abstract: This invention provides a kind of cigarette substitute which is called Ginkgo Biloba L. leaves cigarette. It not only has the function of refreshing, but also is good to people's health. It avoids the harm which is brought to human bodies by the poisonous substances in tobacco. Because Ginkgo biloba L. leaves contain a large amount of flavenoids and Ginkgolide which are good to human bodies, and these pharmaceutical active ingredients are easy to volatilize and can be absorbed into lung, then good effects will be done. The smoke of this kind of cigarette is soft and dense, and it can prevent and cure hypertension, heart disease, arteriosclerosis and senile dementia disease. This kind of cigarette can be produced by ordinary technology.
