Abstract:
The manufacture and use of piezoelectric materials as thin-film battery charging devices that may be operated incidentally to the normal use of another device are taught. For example, a user pressing a button to achieve a desired operation may incidentally charge the battery of the device in use. The present invention also relates to an electric device that may be self-charging under normal use. The present invention may also provide for a battery charging system and/or method for battery charging, including one that is completely selfcontained. A piezoelectric element (130) may be used to convert the mechanical energy obtained from the depression of a button or other actuator into the proper electrical form for storage in a thin-film battery (160). Circuitry (170) may be included to regulate the electrical energy to proper charging levels, including circuitry used to protect a thin-film battery (160) from overcharge, or to prevent other damage to a battery (160).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a self-powered remote control device comprising transmitting means (8, 9, 10), a feeder circuit (6, 7) connected to said transmitting means, a generator supplying electric power connected to the feeder circuit, and control means (3) associated with the electric power generator. The generator comprises at least a piezoelectric element (1) receiving mechanical stresses produced by actuating the control means and supplying electric power to the feeder circuit. The invention also concerns an apparatus comprising at least a self-contained control device actuated by a mechanical action member (4, 52). The invention further concerns an electric installation comprising means for receiving signals transmitted by at least a self- powered control device.
Abstract:
An electric switch device comprises an actuator (10L, 10R) movable between first and second positions, an electrical generator (preferably a rotary generator such as an alternator), a drive mechanism which uses energy derived from movement of the actuator to drive the generator and thereby generate electrical power, and electrical circuitry coupled to the generator to produce an electrical output.
