45 results about "Electrovibration" patented technology

The history of electrovibration goes back to 1954. It was first discovered by accident and E. Mallinckrodt, A. L. Hughes and W. Sleator Jr. reported “... that dragging a dry finger over a conductive surface covered with a thin insulating layer and excited with a 110 V signal, created a characteristic rubbery feeling”. In their experiment, the finger and the metal surface create a capacitive setup. The attraction force created between the finger and the surface was too weak to perceive, but it generated a rubbery sensation when the finger was moving on the surface. This sensation was named "electrovibration" by the group. Today, Senseg and Disney Research are developing technology that could bring electrovibration to modern touchscreen devices.

Conductive vibration module, atomization cartridge, and aroma diffuser

PCT designated stage expiredWO2025010891A1Liquid spraying apparatusPhysicsElectrically conductive
The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic atomization, and in particular, to a conductive vibration module, an atomization cartridge, and an aroma diffuser. An atomization opening is formed at the upper end of a mounting base of the conductive vibration module of the present invention. An open slot and a heat dissipation opening are respectively formed at two sides of the mounting base. An oil guide component has a first end and a second end, the first end is connected to a liquid storage cavity, and the second end is inserted into a mounting slot from the open slot. An oscillation piece is provided in the mounting slot and is located at the lower end of the oil guide component. A first electrode sheet and a second electrode sheet are respectively provided at the upper end and the lower end of the oscillation piece and are pressed against and connected to the oscillation piece. Such design simplifies the structure and makes installation easier. In addition, because the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet are always pressed against and fixedly connected to the oscillation piece, the problem of structural looseness after long-time use is avoided. The mounting slot is communicated with an air inlet cavity via the heat dissipation opening, so that rapid heat dissipation is achieved by means of flowing of gas. Therefore, the vibration frequency of the conductive vibration module of the present invention can be designed to be higher, so as to achieve a better vibration atomization effect.
