Patent EP-0667532-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TORII HIDEO
IPC: G01P15/08
Filed: 1995-01-23
Abstract: A thin film sensor element includes a sensor holding substrate having an opening part and a multilayer film adhered thereon at least consisting of an electrode film A, an electrode film B having (100) plane orientation, and a piezoelectic dielectric oxide film present between the electrode film A and the electrode film B. As a result, a thin film sensor element which is small, light, highly accurate, and inexpensive can be attained which can be used for an acceleration sensor element and a pyroelectric infrared sensor element. 
     On the surface of a flat plate KBr substrate 1, a rock-salt crystal structure oxide of a conductive NiO 12 is formed by a plasma MOCVD method whose vertical direction is crystal-oriented to (100) direction against the substrate surface. By means of a sputtering method, a PZT film 4 is formed by an epitaxial growth on that surface, and a Ni-Cr electrode film 15 is formed thereon. Next, the multilayer film structure is reversed and adhered to a sensor substrate 7 having an opening part with an adhesive 20. After a connection electrode 19 is connected, the whole structure is washed with water, thereby removing the KBr substrate 1.

Abstract: A battery system includes intelligence to allow the battery system to control various aspects of the charging and discharging of the battery, as well as to constantly monitor the battery voltage, temperature, current charge/discharge rate, and remaining capacity of the battery. The intelligent battery system is capable of being charged from a simple voltage supply, with all aspects of charge/discharge rate control and monitoring being accomplished as a function of the intelligent battery system itself, rather than as part of an external charging circuit, or an external electronic device to be powered by the intelligent battery system. This alleviates the need for external systems to include such circuitry and control elements and allows, if desired, a variety of intelligent battery systems to be developed for use with a given electronic system or family of electronic systems, with each battery being able to control its own charge/discharge rates and monitoring functions. The intelligent battery system is capable of communicating with an external device such as a computer powered by the intelligent battery system, in order to provide an indication of the charge/discharge rate, the state of the battery charge, and the like.

Abstract: Pixel elements capable of imaging spatial intensity variations within themselves, and displays comprised of such elements, are described. The pixel elements (10) include a resistance layer (14) disposed between at least one set of electrodes (16,22). Over that resistance layer (14) is a liquid crystal material (24). Over that liquid crystal material (24) is a field electrode (26). In operation a voltage, whose components are referenced to the field electrode, is applied across the resistance layer (14). The resulting current flow induces a spatially varying electric field between the field electrode (26) and the resistance layer (14). That spatially varying electric field results in a corresponding response by the liquid crystal layer which results in a spatially varying light transmission through the liquid crystal material. By varying the voltage across the resistance layer (14) and/or the voltage applied to the field electrode (26) varying amounts of light transmission can be achieved.
