Abstract:
A variable filter device has: a first series arm which is serially connected to a signal line, includes a variable capacitance and an inductance, and constitutes a series resonator; first and second parallel arms, which are connected between the signal line and the ground on both sides of the first series arm, each of which includes a variable capacitance and an inductance, and constitutes a grounded series resonator. The first series arm defines the center frequency of the pass band, and the first and second parallel arms define attenuation poles sandwiching the pass band.
Abstract:
A sensor part has sensor cells provided in a matrix arrangement on a sensor that detects a pulse within a region in which the pulse of a diagnostic target is detected, in a state in which a pressure is applied to the region through the sensor. A diagnostic apparatus acquires a distribution of a pulse waveform based on the pulse detected in a state in which the pressure is constant, determines observation positions within the region, and determines a maximum amplitude at the observation positions that are determined by increasing the pressure, based on the distribution of the pulse waveform. A digitized score of the pulse at each observation position is computed based on the pressure at a time when the pulse waveform having the maximum amplitude is obtained at each observation position.
Abstract:
A power generation device includes: first and second beams which are arranged to face each other and are bent by vibration; and a coil wound around the first and second beams. Each of the first and second beams includes: a beam body; and a stress relaxation layer made of a material different from a material of the beam body and partially covering the surface of the beam body.
Abstract:
There are included: an oscillating member that includes a tough layer and a magnetostrictive layer stacked above the tough layer and formed of a magnetostrictive material, the tough layer formed of a tough material having a tensile strength higher than that of the magnetostrictive material; a supporting member to which the oscillating member is attached to be able to oscillate in the thickness direction; a magnetic field applying member that applies a magnetic field to the magnetostrictive layer; and a coil that is disposed around the magnetostrictive layer.
Abstract:
A MEMS switch has fixed support, a plate-shaped flexible beam having at least one end immovably supported by the fixed support and having an extending movable surface, a movable electric contact disposed on the movable surface of the flexible beam, a fixed electric contact facing the movable electric contact and disposed at a fixed position relative to the fixed support, first piezoelectric driver disposed above the movable surface of the flexible beam, extending from a portion above the fixed support towards the movable electric contact, and capable of displacing the movable electric contact towards the fixed electric contact by voltage driving, and second piezoelectric driver disposed at least on the movable surface of the flexible beam and capable of so driving a movable part of the flexible beam by voltage driving that the movable electric contact is separated from the fixed electric contact.
