MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
A mounting assembly includes a mounting block. A first shaft is supported by the mounting block and movable about a first rotational axis and a first extension axis with respect to the mounting block. A second shaft is coupled to the first shaft and movable about a second rotational axis.
Sound transducer, having a transducer element integrated in a vibration-capable diaphragm including an electrically active polymer
An acoustic transducer, in particular for an ultrasonic sensor, is proposed. The acoustic transducer has a functional group, the functional group encompassing a diaphragm cup and at least one electroacoustic transducer element. The acoustic transducer furthermore has a housing. The diaphragm cup encompasses a vibration-capable diaphragm and an encircling wall, as well as at least one electroacoustic transducer element, the transducer element being embodied to excite the diaphragm to vibrate and/or to convert vibrations of the diaphragm into electrical signals. The diaphragm cup is constituted from a plastic material, the at least one transducer element being integrated into the vibration-capable diaphragm, the transducer element having an electrically active polymer.
Sound transducer including a piezoceramic transducer element integrated in a vibratory diaphragm
A sound transducer, in particular, for an ultrasonic sensor, includes a functional group, the functional group including a diaphragm cup and at least one electroacoustic transducer element. The sound transducer also includes a housing. The diaphragm cup includes a vibratory diaphragm and a circumferential wall, and at least one electroacoustic transducer element, the transducer element being configured to stimulate the diaphragm to vibrate and/or to convert vibrations of the diaphragm into electrical signals. The diaphragm cup is formed from a plastic material, the at least one transducer element being integrated into the vibratory diaphragm, in particular without an additional adhesive layer, the transducer element including a piezoceramic element.
MOTORIZED POLE MOUNT FOR SONAR TRANSDUCERS
The present invention is directed to a mounting device for a fish finding apparatus and, more particularly, to a motorized mounting device which includes an adjustable length pole used to mount a sonar transducer or other device an angler may be interested in mounting to the end of the pole that enters the water. The pole is used to spin the transducer or other apparatus in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction with a switch that is adapted to be operated by the angler's foot or a wireless remote. The mounting device is configured to be secured to a boat or mounted on a boat troll motor whereby the adjustable pole is secured and spins independent of the troll motor shaft.
Interposer electrical interconnect coupling methods, apparatuses, and systems
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for coupling a flexible circuit to a printed circuit board (PCB) with an interposer in an ultrasound probe are disclosed. A bolster plate configured to compress the PCB, interposer, and flexible circuit against a transducer mount is disclosed. A method of coupling a bolster plate to a transducer mount with fasteners is disclosed. Fasteners that do not pass through the PCB, interposer, and flexible circuit are disclosed.
Flooded member detection by means of ultrasound
A sensor system for detecting water or air in a hollow member comprises a first acoustic sensor assembly in a first housing on one side of the hollow member, a second acoustic sensor assembly in a second housing on the opposite side, a controller unit connected to the first and/or second sensor assemblies, and where the first and second sensor assemblies and the controller unit are provided with power supply. Each of the first and second sensor assemblies comprises a set of probes connected to electronics for transmitting and receiving signals, and where the housings comprise fastening means for connecting the housings and the probes to the hollow member. The controller unit comprises a microcontroller, software for controlling and coordinating transmission and reception of signals between said probes, and means for registering and logging data generated by the sensor assemblies. A method detects water or air in a hollow member.
Tone wood headphone cup
A headphone ear cup holds the transducer. This patent focuses on applying tone wood porting theory to the headphone cup. Simply put, tone wood theory states that certain woods provide a tonality to the music. The practice of speaker porting has been in use for many years to extend the bass response of a speaker. By combining tone woods with porting, a more musical presentation created than by using a polymer or metal cup.
DEVICE FOR MANAGING VIBRATIONS OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
A vibration management device for managing the vibrations of a motor vehicle, the device including an electronic controller> The electronic controller is able to be fixed to a vibrating wall receiving vibrations from a component or set of components of the vehicle, by a fixing device including a vibration sensor, generating a vibration signal. The electronic controller includes a signal processor for processing the signal originating from the sensor, and the electronic controller is connected to a device for managing the vibrations.
High tolerance ultrasonic transducer
An ultrasonic transducer is disclosed. The ultrasonic transducer includes a stainless steel backing comprising a piezoelectric element mounted on a front face of the backing, wherein the stainless steel backing enables operation in high temperature and radiation applications. The ultrasonic transducer further includes a first enclosure comprising a threaded through hole and a second enclosure comprising an opening, wherein the first and second enclosure encapsulates the stainless steel backing, wherein the first enclosure and the second enclosure are joined together using a plurality of enclosure screws, wherein the first enclosure is configured to receive a set screw through the threaded through hole, and wherein the set screw upon being received is configured to make contact with a ceramic ball, and wherein tightening of the set screw pushes the piezoelectric element out of the opening in the second enclosure to make a contact with a work structure.
GLAZING UNIT HAVING AN AUDIO EXCITER
A glazing includes a glass sheet or a glazed assembly including at least one hole; and at least one audio exciter mounted on a mounting, wherein the mounting is inserted into the at least one hole of the glass sheet or of the glazed assembly.
