    Abstract: A resonator device for measuring stress comprises at least two resonators, each resonator comprising an inter-digitated transducer structure arranged between two reflecting structures on or in a piezoelectric substrate, wherein the at least two resonators are arranged and positioned such that they have two different wave propagation directions, and each resonator comprises at least two parts with the area between the two parts of the at least two resonators forming a cavity, wherein the cavity is shared by the at least two resonators and wherein for at least one resonator, in particular, all resonators, the inter-digitated transducer structure comprises a first material and the reflecting structures a second material different from the first material and/or the inter-digitated transducer structure and the reflecting structures have different geometrical parameters. A differential sensing device comprises at least one resonator device as described herein.

    Abstract: A piezoelectric sensor assembly for measuring a force quantity on a structure includes at least one piezoelectric sensor, each including an element and two electrodes each projecting outward from the element. An electronic processor of the assembly is configured to receive data from the sensor, wherein the data includes a voltage with a magnitude that is indicative of a dynamic load (i.e., amplitude modulation mode) placed upon the structure. The processor may be configured to interrogate the piezoelectric sensor for its resonant frequency change which is indicative of the load applied to the structure at low operation frequency and to which the piezoelectric sensor would not otherwise respond well. The dual mode operation of the piezoelectric sensor extends the frequency range of the strain measurement from the dynamic range to static or quasi-static range.

    Abstract: A surgical scalpel handle with an internal chamber and a removable electromagnetic resonance signal generating cartridge and an electromagnetic resonance sensor system is disclosed. A surgical scalpel handle is provided for with an internal chamber comprised of two pieces, a front piece with a blade holder and a back piece and when attached, the front end section and the back end section together comprise an internal cavity. An electromagnetic resonance signal generating cartridge comprising one or more printed circuit boards (PCB) are in electrical contact upon which an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) are mounted and having a magnet; a coil; and capacitor resonant circuit; an elastic member; a pressure sensitive feature; and having power source connections, and a removable power source having power source contacts; and power source connections complete the electrical contact between the electromagnetic signal generating cartridge and the removable power source housed in the internal cavity. An electromagnetic signal generating cartridge is disposed of in an internal cavity of a scalpel handle and generates an electromagnetic resonance signal. An electromagnetic sensor system apparatus with a sensor system disposed of vertical and horizontal planes is disclosed and is disposed of on a surgical table. The scalpel handle with an internal cavity and removable signal generating cartridge and with the electromagnetic sensor system apparatus with a sensor system can be used to digitally map the precise position, size, trajectory, shape, pressure and angle of the scalpel being used during surgical procedures. A pressure sensitive feature is disposed and in connection with the blade holder and the removable signal generating cartridge. The pressure exerted by a surgeon on the blade is transmitted through a blade holder to a pressure sensitive feature to switch from the stand by position of the cartridge to the on and generate an electromagnetic signal position. The emitted signals generated by the cartridge can be read by the provided for electromagnetic resonance sensor system to generate a digital record of coordinates in the x, y location in a horizontal plane and vertical plane as well as a digital record of trajectory of scalpel used during the procedure. The coordinates are stored in a memory device such as a RAM, tablet or computer. After communicating with a host machine, a monitor can display the surgeon's trace and exact location coordinates.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes an outer case, and a piezoelectric element mounted to an inner surface of the outer case and configured to impart vibration to the outer case due to deformation in correspondence with an applied voltage and to generate a voltage corresponding to deformation due to a shock imparted to the outer case. An induction element applies an increased voltage to the piezoelectric element, a first switch performs control as to whether or not to supply an electric current from a power source to the induction element, a second switch effects connection or disconnection between the induction element and the piezoelectric element, and a shock detection unit to detects a shock imparted to the outer case based on the voltage generated in the piezoelectric element.
