摘要:
A droplet discharge device including a plurality of vibrators arranged on an upper surface of a substrate. The substrate has a cavity, discharge hole and supply hole, which serve as a liquid flow path, formed inside a plate including flat upper and lower surfaces. A width of the cavity narrows from the upper surface side toward the lower surface side. A depth of the cavity deepens from the supply hole side toward the discharge hole side. The depth of the cavity may become shallower from the supply hole side toward the discharge hole side in a part which is positioned on the supply hole side and occupies a relatively small area, and the depth of the cavity may become deeper from the supply hole side toward the discharge hole side in a part which is positioned on the discharge hole side and occupies a relatively large area.
摘要:
An ultrasonic motor piezoelectric actuator element uses a primary longitudinal mode and a secondary bending mode and includes a stacked piezoelectric element in which piezoelectric layers and electrode layers are stacked alternately in such a manner that the electrode layers divide the piezoelectric layers into two approximately equal portions. A piezoelectric inactive region is formed from the surface portion to the center portion in the thickness direction of the stacked piezoelectric element. The migration resistance of the piezoelectric actuator element is improved while suppressing a decrease in displacement so that a short circuit can be prevented and portions generating heat during alternating polarization can be dispersed, whereby reliability is increased. Moreover, the amount of electrode material used can be reduced, whereby cost can be reduced.

A method employed in a prior art arm-worn blood pressure monitor to measure the height position of the heart has been an indirect method that merely estimates the position of the heart, and therefore has had the problems that the measurement accuracy and the reliability of the measurement are low, and that the measuring position is awkward and it is difficult to achieve correct position alignment. An arm-worn blood pressure monitor includes a cuff, a microwave transmitting unit for radiating a microwave onto a human subject, a microwave receiving unit for receiving a reflected wave Doppler-shifted relative to the radiated microwave due to a heartbeat of the subject, and a correct position detector for detecting, based on the reflected wave, whether the cuff worn around an arm of the subject is located in a correct position relative to the position of the heart of the subject.

A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric element including a step of preparing a green sheet A including a portion which becomes a fired piezoelectric body later, by use of a piezoelectric material; a step of joining, to at least one surface of the green sheet A, a green sheet B having an opening in a portion facing the portion which becomes the fired piezoelectric body later, followed by firing to obtain the fired piezoelectric body provided with a reinforcing plate to which the reinforcing plate formed owing to the firing of the green sheet B is attached; and a step of forming a film-like electrode in a portion obtained by the firing of the green sheet A in the fired piezoelectric body provided with the reinforcing plate.

A heart rate meter for measuring the heart rate of a living body includes a heart rate variation detecting unit for measuring the variation of the heart rate determined from a heart beat waveform, and a heart rate error detecting and correcting unit for detecting an error of heart rate on the basis of the trend of the heart rate variation and correcting the heart rate error being detected. The heart rate error detecting and correcting unit includes a heart rate error detecting unit for detecting an error of the heart rate variation as a heart rate error on the basis of the trend of the heart rate variation, and a heart rate error correcting unit for correcting the error of heart rate according to the detection of the heart rate error.
摘要:
There is provided a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric actuator where the planar shape is adjusted by subjecting the piezoelectric body layer located on one of the outer surfaces in the two or more piezoelectric body layers to a polarization treatment to control remnant polarization of the piezoelectric body layer. The piezoelectric actuator is used as a drive portion of a piezoelectric drive type variable capacitor. The variable capacitor has high mechanical strength and excellent reliability for a long period of time. The relation between the displacement amount of the piezoelectric actuator and the capacity of the capacitor is stable, and the variable capacity is wide.
摘要:
A piezoelectric/electrostrictive element having a double-layer structure in which a lower layer electrode film, a lower layer piezoelectric/electrostrictive film, an inner layer electrode film, an upper layer piezoelectric/electrostrictive film and an upper layer electrode film are laminated in this order on a thin portion of a substrate. In the piezoelectric/electrostrictive element, a driving signal is applied between an outer layer electrode film and the inner layer electrode film, whereby the thin portion and a laminate can be subjected to bending vibration. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive film has film thickness distribution in which a film thickness becomes larger in a continuous manner from a center portion of a bending vibration region which is an antinode of a bending first mode toward an edge portion of the bending vibration region which is a node of the bending first mode, along a short side direction of the bending vibration region.
