摘要:
A wellhead seal assembly that forms a metal-to-metal seal between inner and outer wellhead members and a face seal between inner wellhead members. The face seal is created by two opposing sealing surfaces on inner wellhead members that sealingly engage each other. The inner wellhead members that interact to form a face seal may be a casing hanger, bridging hanger, or lockdown hanger. A wicker profile formed on one of the opposing seal surfaces bites into the opposing seal surface in response to a load. The face seal is designed such that well pressure enhances the face seal.

The film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device comprises a substrate, an acoustic Bragg reflector over the substrate, a piezoelectric element over the acoustic Bragg reflector, and a remote-side electrode over the piezoelectric element. The acoustic Bragg reflector comprises a metal Bragg layer juxtaposed with a plastic Bragg layer. The large ratio between the acoustic impedances of the plastic material of the plastic Bragg layer and the metal of the metal Bragg layer provides sufficient acoustic isolation between the FBAR and the substrate for the frequency response of the FBAR device to exhibit minor, if any, spurious artifacts arising from undesirable acoustic coupling between the FBAR and the substrate.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an embolic filter device configured for placement in a blood vessel to capture emboli during a medical procedure. The embolic filter device can include an expandable frame member and a membrane. The expandable frame member can include a radial support member operably connected to first and second longitudinal struts, and an engaging portion extending between the first and second longitudinal struts. The engaging portion can be shaped and configured to temporarily receive, and sealingly mate with, a portion of an endovascular catheter during the medical procedure. The membrane can be securely connected to the frame member and define a collection chamber for captured emboli. The membrane can be configured to cover substantially all of the cross-sectional area of the blood vessel when the embolic filter device is deployed in the blood vessel.

The band-pass filter has first terminals, second terminals, a first decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonator (DSBAR), a second DSBAR, and an electrical circuit connecting the first DSBAR and the second DSBAR in series between the first terminals and the second terminals. Each DSBAR has a first film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), a second FBAR and an acoustic decoupler between the FBARs. Each FBAR has opposed planar electrodes and a piezoelectric element between the electrodes.

A substrate defining a cavity comprising a wide, shallow first portion and a narrow, deep second portion is provided. The first portion of the cavity extends into the substrate from the front side of the substrate and is filled with sacrificial material. The second portion extends deeper into the substrate from the first portion. A device structure is fabricated over the sacrificial material. A release etchant is introduced from the back side of the substrate via the second portion of the cavity to remove from the first portion of the cavity the sacrificial material underlying the device structure. Removing from the first portion of the cavity the sacrificial material underlying the device structure by introducing the release etchant from the back side of the substrate via the second portion of the cavity allows the release etch to be performed without exposing the device structure to the release etchant. This allows the device structure to incorporate materials that have a low etch selectivity with respect to the sacrificial material.

One embodiment of the film acoustically-coupled transformer (FACT) includes a decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonator (DSBAR) having a lower film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) an upper FBAR stacked on the lower FBAR, and, between the FBARs, an acoustic decoupler comprising a layer of acoustic decoupling material. Each FBAR has opposed planar electrodes with a piezoelectric element between them. The FACT additionally has first terminals electrically connected to the electrodes of one FBAR and second terminals electrically connected to the electrodes of the other FBAR. Another embodiment has decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonators (DSBARs), each as described above, a first electrical circuit interconnecting the lower FBARs, and a second electrical circuit interconnecting the upper FBARs. The FACT provides impedance transformation, can linking single-ended circuitry with balanced circuitry or vice versa and electrically isolates primary and secondary. Some embodiments are additionally electrically balanced.

The encapsulated film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device comprises a substrate, an FBAR stack over the substrate, an element for acoustically isolating the FBAR stack from the substrate, encapsulant covering the FBAR stack, and an acoustic Bragg reflector between the top surface of the FBAR stack and the encapsulant. The FBAR stack comprises an FBAR and has a top surface remote from the substrate. The FBAR comprises opposed planar electrodes and a piezoelectric element between the electrodes. The acoustic Bragg reflector comprises a metal Bragg layer and a plastic Bragg layer juxtaposed with the metal Bragg layer. The large ratio between the acoustic impedances of the metal of the metal Bragg layer and the plastic material of the plastic Bragg layer enables the acoustic Bragg reflector to provide sufficient acoustic isolation between the FBAR and the encapsulant for the frequency response of the FBAR device to exhibit minor, if any, spurious artifacts arising from undesirable acoustic coupling between the FBAR and the encapsulant.
