Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for membrane bonding. A photoresist may be applied to an ultrasonic device. A portion of the photoresist may be removed. A bonding agent may be applied a portion of the photoresist that is not removed. A membrane may be placed on the ultrasonic device such that the membrane is in contact with the ultrasonic device through the bonding agent and the photoresist. The membrane and the ultrasonic device may be placed in between a first flat plate and a second flat plate, such that the second flat plate rests on top of the membrane. Light pressure may be applied to the membrane. The light pressure may be applied by one or more of the weight of the second flat plate and a pressure providing device applying pressure to either or both of the first flat plate and the second flat plate.

Abstract: A signal generator generates an electrical signal that is sent to an amplifier, which increases the power of the signal using power from a power source. The amplified signal is fed to a sender transducer to generate ultrasonic waves that can be focused and sent to a receiver. The receiver transducer converts the ultrasonic waves back into electrical energy and stores it in an energy storage device, such as a battery, or uses the electrical energy to power a device. In this way, a device can be remotely charged or powered without having to be tethered to an electrical outlet.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for performance adjustment for wireless power transfer devices. A wireless power transfer device may be activated. A characteristic of the performance of the activated wireless power transfer device may be measured. It may be determined that the measured characteristic of the activated wireless power transfer device does not meet a performance requirement for the wireless power transfer device. An adjustment to be applied to the wireless power transfer device may be determined. The adjustment may be based on determining that the measured characteristic of the activated wireless power transfer device does not meet the performance requirement for the wireless power transfer device. The adjustment may be applied to the wireless power transfer device.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for an ultrasonic transducer. A substrate may include a main cavity, a secondary cavity, and a channel. The main cavity may have a greater depth than the secondary cavity. The secondary cavity may have a greater depth than channel. A first step may be formed where the main cavity and the secondary cavity overlap. A second step may be formed where the secondary cavity and the main cavity overlap. An electromechanically active device may be attached to the substrate at the first step and the second step such that a free end of the electromechanically active device is suspended over the main cavity. A membrane section may be bonded to the substrate such that the membrane covers the main cavity and the secondary cavity and is bonded to the free end of the electromechanically active.

Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer having a container, a base an actuator and a membrane system. The membrane system can include a membrane, a mesa and a standoff. The mesa can be shaped to achieve one or more target frequencies and other target vibrational properties, such as amplitudes. The actuator may be a flexure having one or more electroactive materials, such as piezoelectric and/or electrostrictive materials. The flexure may be fixed at one end to a wall of the container be in communication with the membrane system at or around its other end. The actuator may be in contact with the membrane system through the mesa and/or the standoff. The standoff may include an adhesive filled with beads to achieve a specific thickness.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for laminate material bonding. A bonding agent may be applied to a first layer. A second layer may be placed onto the bonding agent on the first layer to form a laminate material. The laminate material may be placed between a first piece of non-compliant material with a first piece of compliant material and a second piece of non-compliant material with a second piece of compliant material. The laminate material may be in contact with the first piece non-compliant material and the second piece of non-compliant material. Pressure may be applied to the laminate material by applying pressure to the first piece of compliant material for a curing time of the bonding agent.
