摘要： Disclosed generators include one or more transducers that use electroactive polymer films to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. The generators may include one or more transmission mechanisms that transfer a portion of an unused environmental energy source to the one or more transducers located in the generators. The energy received by the transducers may be converted to electrical energy by the transducers in conjunction with conditioning electronics located within the generator.

摘要： The invention is directed towards an electronic device, comprising a light source. The electronic device also comprises an element which is made of electro active polymer. The electro active polymer element comprises a set of electrodes. Further, the electro active polymer element is arranged to adjust its volume when a voltage is supplied to the set of electrodes. The adjustment in volume provides an adjustment in luminous transmittance of the electro active polymer element.

摘要： Electroactive polymer transducers are disclosed. They are biased in a manner that provides for increased force and/or stroke output, thereby offering improved work potential and power output capacity. The biasing may offer additional or alternate functional advantage in terms of matching transducer performance with a given application such as a normally-closed valve. The improved biasing (including increased output biasing) may utilize negative spring rate biasing and/or a combination of negative or zero-rate biasing with positive rate biasing to achieve the desired ends.

摘要： The present invention relates to transducers (100), their use and fabrication. The transducers (100) convert between mechanical and electrical energy. Some transducers (100) of the present invention include a pre-strained polymer (102). The pre-strain improves the conversion between electrical and mechanical energy. The present invention also relates to devices including an electroactive polymer (102) to convert between electrical and mechanical energy. The present invention further relates to compliant electrodes (104, 106) that conform to the shape of a polymer (102) included in a transducer (100). The present invention provides methods for fabricating electromechanical devices including one or more electroactive polymers.
