摘要: A differential piezoelectric actuator-system includes an inductor and driver-circuit having switches for transferring energy between first and second actuators and the inductor, and between a voltage-supply node and the inductor. Control circuitry determines whether a next phase in which to operate the driver-circuit is a first charging-phase or a first recovery-phase. The first charging-phase includes operating the switches in: a first sub-phase to transfer energy from the first actuator to the inductor; a second sub-phase to transfer energy from the voltage supply node to the inductor; and a third sub-phase to transfer energy from the inductor to the second actuator. The first recovery-phase includes operating the switches in: a first sub-phase to transfer energy from the first actuator to the inductor; a second sub-phase to transfer energy from the inductor to the second actuator; and a third sub-phase to transfer energy from the inductor to the voltage supply node.

摘要: A pressure detection sensor having a piezoelectric film with a first region and a second region located outside the first region, the piezoelectric film being deformable by a pressing operation, a first electrode pair disposed on a first main surface and a second main surface in the first region of the piezoelectric film, and a second electrode pair formed on a first main surface and a second main surface in the second region of the piezoelectric film. When the piezoelectric film receives a pressing operation, the first electrode pair outputs a voltage having a polarity different from that of the second electrode pair.

摘要: A system and method for jetting a viscous material includes an electronic controller and a jetting dispenser operatively coupled with the electronic controller. The jetting dispenser includes an outlet orifice and a piezoelectric actuator operatively coupled with a movable shaft. The jetting dispenser is under control of the electronic controller for causing said piezoelectric actuator to move the shaft and jet an amount of the viscous material from the outlet orifice. The electronic controller sends a waveform to the piezoelectric actuator to optimize control of the jetting operation.

摘要: An ultrasound system, probe and method are provided. The ultrasound system includes a transducer with piezoelectric transducer elements polarized in a poling direction. A bipolar transmit circuit is configured to generate a transmit signal having first and second polarity segments. The first and second polarity segments have corresponding first and second peak amplitudes. A bias generator is configured to generate a bias signal in a direction of the poling direction. The bias signal is combined with the transmit signal to form a biased transmit signal that is shifted in the direction of the poling direction and still includes both of positive and negative voltages over a transmit cycle.

摘要: A piezoelectric element drive circuit includes a piezoelectric element driven at a predetermined frequency and having a resonant frequency of (2n+1) times the predetermined frequency (n is a predetermined natural number), and a drive voltage generator that has a first output terminal connected to a first terminal of the piezoelectric element and a second output terminal connected to a second terminal of the piezoelectric element. When the piezoelectric element is driven, a waveform of potential difference between the first output terminal and the second output terminal is a step wave which transitions while taking an intermediate potential. A time length for which the potential difference is the intermediate potential is around (t2−t1)/(2n+1) in a period of time from time t1 at which the potential difference falls to the intermediate potential to time t2 at which the potential difference falls to the intermediate potential subsequently.
