  • Patent number: 9201528
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing vibratory elements, comprising forming on a substrate a multilayer structure by an integrated circuit manufacturing method, the multilayer structure comprising an element susceptible of vibrating when it is subjected to an electrical signal, and electrodes for transmitting an electrical signal to the vibratory element, the vibratory element comprising a mechanical coupling face that is able to transmit to control element vibrations perceptible by a user.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2015
    Assignees: STMicroelectronics SA, STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SAS
    Inventors: Cedrick Chappaz, Pascal Ancey, Yves Gilot, Serge Laffont, Olivier Girard
  • Patent number: 9152231
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for controlling an object configured to be handheld and including vibratory actuators. The method including mechanically coupling a first group of at least one vibratory actuator to a first part of the object, mechanically coupling a second group of at least one vibratory actuator to a second part of the object, the first and the second parts being configured to be able to vibrate independently of each other, and to come into contact with different areas of the hand of the user holding the object, and transmitting to each group of actuators, an electrical signal having a frequency adapted to the resonance frequency of the part to which it is mechanically coupled.
