  • Publication number: 20090060230
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical transducer and a method for manufacturing the transducer. The transducer includes a membrane (3), two electrodes (1, 2), the electric field between which can be controlled or measured, and a support structure (4, 5), on which the membrane (3) is arranged to vibrate interactively with the electric field. According to the invention, the support structure (4, 5) includes several support points (4, 5), which are aligned in such a way that several parallel vibrators are formed in the membrane (3).

  • Publication number: 20050213788
    Abstract: This publication discloses an acoustically active element formed in a multi-layer circuit-board structure (20, 22, 24, 25), a method for manufacturing it, and a multi-layer circuit-board structure. The acoustically active element includes an internal chamber (21) and a membrane (18) or beam arranged in connection with the internal chamber (21), which acts as a vibrating element and is connected electrically to external circuits, in order to produce or measure an acoustic effect. According to the invention, the resonance chamber (21) is formed inside the multi-layer circuit-board structure (20, 22, 24, 25), in connection with the process of manufacturing the circuit board.
