    Abstract: A package design for a micromachined ultrasound transducer (MUT) utilizing curved geometry to control the presence and frequency of acoustic resonant modes is described. The approach consists of reducing in number and curving the reflecting surfaces present in the package cavity to adjust the acoustic resonant frequencies to locations outside the band of interest. The design includes a cavity characterized by a curved geometry and a MUT mounted to a side of a substrate facing the cavity with a sound emitting portion of the MUT facing an opening in the substrate. The substrate is disposed over an opening of the cavity with the substrate oriented such that the MUT located within the cavity.

    Abstract: A piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer (PMUT) is disclosed. The device consists of a flexible membrane that is connected to a rigid substrate via flexures. The flexures are defined by slots etched through the perimeter of the membrane. These features release the stress present on the structural layers of the membrane, making it less sensitive to residual stress. The flexures are designed to act as torsion springs so that the membrane's vibration mode shape is highly curved in the piezoelectric actuation area, thereby increasing the electromechanical coupling.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic time of flight range sensor is based on an array of two or more ultrasound transducers that are arranged as an endfire phased array. The acoustic beam profile of the array can be shaped using two degrees of freedom: the distance between the transducers of the array and the electronic delay applied to the transducers' outputs. This allows the array to have a more directional response, so that objects in a desired direction can be detected while objects in other directions are ignored. Differential measurements are used to reduce or cancel the ring-down signal that follows transmission. This ring-down cancellation is important in micromachined ultrasonic transducers that typically have narrow bandwidth and therefore poor pulse response. The differential endfire array can be used for ultrasonic rangefinding and object detection in consumer electronics devices such as smart phones, tablets, personal computers, monitors, and display devices.

    Abstract: A rangefinding apparatus and method are disclosed. The apparatus may include at least one processor and memory operably connected to the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to iterate a target-acquisition process until a target is identified and then iterate a target-tracking process after the target has been identified. The target-acquisition process may include transmitting a short ultrasonic pulse, transmitting a long ultrasonic pulse, and listening for one or more echoes corresponding to the short or long ultrasonic pulses. The target- tracking process may include steering an optimized ultrasonic pulse toward the target, listening for an echo corresponding to the optimized ultrasonic pulse, and calculating, based on the echo, an updated location for the target.
