An acceleration sensor includes a piezoelectric element and support frames for supporting the ends of the piezoelectric element in the longitudinal direction. The piezoelectric element is formed by stacking an even number of piezoelectric layers greater than or equal to four layers. Electrodes are provided in between the layers and on the front and back faces of the piezoelectric element. The interlayer electrodes including a segmented electrode and lead electrodes are alternately stacked with the piezoelectric layers therebetween. The interlayer electrode in the middle in the thickness direction is a segmented electrode. The piezoelectric layers are polarized in the thickness direction so that charge having the same polarity is extracted from the electrodes when the acceleration is applied. Also, the center portion and both end portions of each piezoelectric layer are polarized in opposite directions.

The present invention provides a composite vibrator that can maintain high sensitivity even when miniaturized. The composite vibrator includes tuning bar vibrators having the same length and support members for supporting the tuning bar vibrators. The tuning bar vibrators are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction to be coupled with each other near nodes of bending vibrations occurring at both free ends of the tuning bar vibrators. In this arrangement, since the tuning bar vibrators are coupled with each other, the mass of the composite vibrator increases. Thus, even when the length of the longitudinal direction of the tuning bar vibrator is reduced, due to the increased mass, higher sensitivity for the detection of an angular velocity can be obtained.

An underwater acoustic transducer includes a set of formed substrates of piezoelectric polymer composite, the formed substrates having at least a first and second surface. Conductive electrodes are deposited on the first and second sides of the formed substrates. One surface of the substrate is bonded to an acoustically absorptive backing material. Either surface can be made to conform to a singly or doubly curved geometry. Electrodes deposited on these substrates may be continuous to form a single transducer element, or segmented to form sub-arrays of transducer elements.

A method of manufacturing piezoelectric actuators (14) is disclosed along with a minimum diaphragm pump (10) using the actuators. The object was an actuator which could be used in miniature diaphragm pumps and other applications and which would be smaller in size and simpler to manufacture than prior art actuators, yet would provide forces and displacements an order of magnitude higher than any previously known devices of similar size. The pump (10) incorporates the new actuator along with a novel one-way valve (200) and a small driver circuit (18). The pump is of direct application in the liquid cooling systems of small computers, and in other fluid systems.

An electro-mechanical transducer, which provides amplified piston motion from an orthogonal drive direction wherein the electro-mechanical drive additionally provides the inertial reactive mass for the moving mass of the piston. The piston motion is amplified by lever arms, which are typically attached to a piezoelectric or electrostrictive drive system. The arrangement allows a compact, high output transducer design.
