摘要:
A low-profile ultrasonic wave generation device is provided that includes a drive unit having a piezoelectric member and an electrode formed on a surface of the piezoelectric member. The drive unit as a whole vibrates flexurally. The connection member is connected to a portion of the drive unit that includes a point of maximum displacement of the drive unit when the drive unit is subjected to flexural vibration. The vibrating unit is connected to the connection member. The vibrating unit vibrates due to the flexural vibration of the drive unit being transmitted by the connection member and thereby generates ultrasonic waves.

A thermal excitation acoustic-wave-generating device includes a first acoustic wave source that includes a first heating element and a substrate that includes a main surface along which the first heating element is disposed, a second acoustic wave source that includes a second heating element and a facing body that includes a main surface along which the second heating element is disposed, and a pair of electrodes connected to the first and second heating elements. The first and second acoustic wave sources are arranged such that the first and second heating elements are separated from each other and face each other. The pair of electrodes are disposed between the first and second acoustic wave sources.
摘要:
A piezoelectric transformer includes a rectangular plate-shaped piezoelectric board having a length L in a longitudinal direction. In the piezoelectric board, five regions having a length L/5 are formed. In the two of regions, inner electrodes are formed in a thickness direction and conducted to outer electrodes provided in these regions. In a third region, outer electrodes are provided. The two regions of the piezoelectric board are polarized in the thickness direction, and two adjacent regions thereof are polarized in the longitudinal direction, and the third region is non-polarized. When a voltage is applied to the outer electrodes, the piezoelectric board expands and contracts in the longitudinal direction due to a piezoelectric effect. Thus, a piezoelectric transformer which enables high-efficient energy conversion even when a driving frequency is increased and a wireless power transmission system using the piezoelectric transformer are provided.

A thermal excitation acoustic-wave-generating device includes a first heating element, a substrate that includes a main surface along which the first heating element is disposed, and a facing body that faces the substrate with the first heating element interposed therebetween. The substrate and the facing body define a path for an acoustic wave. A length of the path is close to a whole number multiple of ¼ of a wavelength of the acoustic wave.
