    摘要: An ultrasonic transducer that can include a driver side and a bias voltage side. A higher voltage source can be electrically connected to the bias voltage side through a first resistor. A lower voltage source can be electrically connected to the driver side of through a second resistor. A field effect transistor or other suitable switch can be included, having a source, a gate and a drain. The source can be electrically connected to ground and the gate can be electrically connected to a control signal source. The drain can be electrically connected to the lower voltage source through a second resistor and be electrically connected to the driver side of the ultrasonic transducer. The gate can be electrically connected to a signal source through a third resistor.

    摘要: Systems and techniques are provided for beamforming for wireless power transfer. A position of a second wireless power transfer device relative to a first wireless power transfer device may be determined. A beam may be simulated as being transmitted from the position of the second wireless power transfer device. Phases of a wave front of the simulated beam that would be received by elements of the first wireless power transfer device may be determined. A control signal for each of the elements for which phases were determined may be generated based on the determined phase of the wave front that would be received at the element. The control signal for each of the elements for which phases were determined may be supplied to the elements for which phases were determined. A waveform may be transmitted from the elements for which phases were determined based on the supplied control signal.

    摘要: Systems and techniques are provided for a self-powered energy harvesting circuit. A power generating mechanism may include power generating elements that generate alternating current signals. Rectifier circuits may each include a rectifier that generates a direct current signal from an alternating current signal. Group circuits may connect a group of the rectifier circuits in an electrical circuit to combine the direct current signals from the rectifier circuits in the group into a single direct current signal. Energy storage devices may be connected to the group circuits. The outputs of energy storage devices may be combined into a single output. The single output split into a primary output and a secondary output. A switch may be connected to the primary output. A controller may be connected to the secondary output and to the switch. The controller may control the switch. A voltage regulator may be connected to an output of the switch.

    摘要: Electrical power for an electrical device can be acoustically produced. A first portion of an acoustic energy can be received at a piezoelectric transducer. A first electrical energy, produced from the first portion of the acoustic energy, can be conveyed from the piezoelectric transducer and received by a circuit. A bias voltage, produced from the first electrical energy, can be conveyed from the circuit and received at a capacitive transducer. A second portion of the acoustic energy can be received at the capacitive transducer. A second electrical energy, produced from the second portion of the acoustic energy, can be conveyed from the capacitive transducer and used as the electrical power for the electrical device. A ratio of the second electrical energy to the second portion of the acoustic energy can be greater than a ratio of the first electrical energy to the first portion of the acoustic energy.

    摘要: Systems and techniques are provided for membrane bonding. A photoresist may be applied to an ultrasonic device. A portion of the photoresist may be removed. A bonding agent may be applied a portion of the photoresist that is not removed. A membrane may be placed on the ultrasonic device such that the membrane is in contact with the ultrasonic device through the bonding agent and the photoresist. The membrane and the ultrasonic device may be placed in between a first flat plate and a second flat plate, such that the second flat plate rests on top of the membrane. Light pressure may be applied to the membrane. The light pressure may be applied by one or more of the weight of the second flat plate and a pressure providing device applying pressure to either or both of the first flat plate and the second flat plate.
