    摘要: A three-dimensional force and torque converter unit for measuring an external force or torque applied to the unit and converting it into a signal, whereby the signal may be used to control a system or device incorporating the converter unit. The converter unit includes a controller formed with four spaced apart arms having six or more degrees of constraint. A force or torque may be applied to the tip portions of each of the arms via a gripping means. Sensors are used to measure the deflection of the arms under an applied loading or torque and an output signal is generated.

    摘要: A transducer assembly has a generally planar resonator (12) (such as a disc) bonded on one face to a sheet of piezoelectric material (12B) and having a mounting flange (12C) (which may extend all around the periphery of the resonator) to mount the resonator between inner (13) and outer (11) mounting elements such as rings. An electric circuit (24) drives the piezoelectric sheet (12B) and, when used for sound generation, a tuned acoustic structure is provided for directing sound away from the resonator (12).
