    Abstract: A piezoelectric system comprises a piezoelectric sensor, a voltage stabilizer, a discharger and an operation sensor. The piezoelectric sensor outputs a sensing signal through a sensor output terminal according to a rate of change of pressure. The voltage stabilizer has a positive terminal electrically connecting with the sensor output terminal. The voltage stabilizer receives the sensing signal, stores the energy of the sensing signal, and keeps the voltage of the sensing signal as a constant when the rate of change of pressure is zero. The discharger has a first terminal connecting with the positive terminal, a second terminal coupled to ground, and a control terminal receiving a trigger signal to control the first terminal to conduct with or not conduct with the second terminal. The operation sensor electrically connects to the control terminal for sensing an operation generating the pressure and outputs the trigger signal accordingly.

    Abstract: An apparatus with two anchors including a housing, a movable element, and a rotary element is provided. The housing includes a first expansion unit, a second expansion unit, and a linkage. First alignment structures are disposed in the movable element and anti-rotation structures are disposed in the linkage. When the movable element and the rotary element enter the housing from two ends and are coupled along an axis, the movable element and the rotary element can approach each other to expand the first expansion unit and the second expansion unit to form two anchors. The apparatus with two anchors secures a sensor in a variety of environments such as walls or machines. When the apparatus with two anchors fixes a sensor in a hole of a stamping machine, the impact force does not cause stress concentration on the sensor so as to improve the reliability of the sensor.

    Abstract: A microelectromechanical apparatus includes a base and a thin film including a stationary part disposed on the base, a peripheral part, a central part surrounded by the peripheral part, and a first and second elastic part. The first elastic part is connected to the stationary part and the peripheral part. The second elastic part is connected to the peripheral part and the central part. When low frequency signal is input to a first electrode of the first elastic part, the peripheral part and the and the central part respectively vibrate with a first and second low-frequency amplitudes. When high-frequency signal is input to a second electrode of the second elastic part, the peripheral part and the central part respectively vibrate with a first and second high-frequency amplitudes. A difference between the first and second low-frequency amplitudes is smaller than a difference between the first and second high-frequency amplitudes.
