    Abstract: A device (100) harvests energy from vibration and/or strain and utilises both capacitive (102a, 102b) and piezo-electric elements (105). The principle of operation is out-of-plane capacitive harvester, where the bias voltage for the capacitive element is generated with a piezoelectric element (105). The device utilizes a thin dielectric film (104) between the capacitor plates (102a, 102b) maximizing the harvested energy and enabling the harvester operation in semi-contact mode so that short circuits are prevented. For example when utilised in a wheel or the like, the capacitor is closed and opened at every strike or every turn of a wheel being thus independent of the harvester's mechanical resonance frequency.

    Abstract: This publication discloses a capacitor construction for use in pressure transducers, including a substrate plate having of a silicon wafer and a thinner glass wafer. A first fixed capacitor plate is provided for overlying the substrate plate plate. A silicon plate is adapted to encircle the substrate plate with its thinned center area acting as a moving capacitor plate by virtue of its diaphragm behavior and a top plate overlying the silicon plate includes a silicon wafer and a glass wafer bonded to the silicon wafer and having a thickness essentially smaller than that of the silicon wafer. According to the invention, over the supporting substrate plate and between the first capacitor plate and its encircling silicon plate, is provided another overlying capacitor overlying plate, which essentially encloses the first capacitor plate. With this design, a reduced temperature sensitivity is accomplished in the capacitor construction.
