Patent ID: 8633633

Claim:
A piezoelectric based energy supply comprising: a plurality of mechanical actuators able to be displaced through operation by an operator from a first position and a second position; a plurality of independent piezoelectric components disposed below the plurality of actuators, each independent piezoelectric component within the plurality of independent piezoelectric components being associated with at least one respective actuator in the plurality of actuators and adapted to be deformed by displacement of the at least one respective actuator within the plurality of actuators from a first position and a second position; an actuator responsive circuit disposed below the plurality of actuators and above the plurality of independent piezoelectric components, wherein at least a portion of the actuator responsive circuit is configured to exert pressure one on or more of the plurality of independent piezoelectric components based on one or more of the plurality of mechanical actuators being displaced; and an electrical coupler electrically coupling each of the plurality of independent piezoelectric components.
