摘要: In a vibration sensor, both ends of a vibration beam are fixed on a base, and a middle portion is suspended in a cavity and generates deformation in response to external vibrational excitation. The portions, suspended in the cavity, of a plurality of vibration beams have different dimensions by changing a structure and a dimension of the cavity and a dimension and a position of each vibration beam, so that different vibration beams have different natural frequencies, and resonance peaks of different frequencies are generated under vibrational excitation, forming a wider frequency response range. In addition, a vibration signal selected by the vibration sensor is a vibration signal within a preset range near the resonance peak, and the sensitivity is relatively high. A microphone having the vibration sensor is also provided.

摘要: Systems and methods for a multi-layer flexible array interconnect for an ultrasound transducer, and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The systems and methods described herein provide consistent and controllable alignment between the odd and even flex layers. Further, ground layers are added between the signal layers to improve crosstalk performance while simplifying the construction. In some implementations, vias are introduced at the interface of an electromechanical-array element (e.g., lead zirconate titanate (PZT) element) to increase the surface area of conductive material and thereby increase the quality of the electrical and physical connections. In addition, a machining alignment and verification aid is provided through strategic use of unused and discarded board area to enable (i) alignment check of the flex circuit with the machining equipment and (ii) adjustment of the flex circuit position relative to the machining equipment to avoid the flex circuit being machined to an unusable state.
