Acoustic Wave Sensor With Emat Drive

View page
US Patent:
6933932, Aug 23, 2005
Filed:
Sep 17, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/245246
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Assignee:
TexZec, Inc. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G09G005/00
US Classification:
345177, 178 1804
Abstract:
An acoustic wave sensor includes an electromagnetic acoustic transducer to generate a resonant acoustic wave substantially trapped in an acoustic wave cavity. The acoustic wave cavity is defined by a radially symmetric raised surface. The electromagnetic acoustic transducer includes a spiral primary coil to generate the acoustic wave in the acoustic wave cavity and a concentric spiral pickup coil to pick up an electrical signal representing the acoustic wave in the cavity. A noise canceling coil portion is used to cancel spurious noise induced by the primary coil from the pickup coil to provide an output signal representing the acoustic wave energy in the cavity.

Acoustic Wave Ice And Water Detector

View page
US Patent:
7026943, Apr 11, 2006
Filed:
Jul 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/611457
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Chris Kalmus - LaGrange IL, US
Assignee:
TexZec, Inc. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G08B 19/02
US Classification:
340582, 340580, 3406936, 73573, 73579, 73589, 73645, 73650, 73659, 367137, 367162
Abstract:
An acoustic wave sensor utilizes one or more acoustic waves trapped in an acoustic wave cavity to detect the presence of one or more substances on a surface of the acoustic wave cavity. To detect the presence of ice, a trapped torsional acoustic wave is used. To detect water, an acoustic wave with flexural or compressional components is used. The sensor includes a number of transducers adjacent the acoustic wave cavity where a controller drives different sets of the transducers to generate different acoustic waves.

Torsional Acoustic Wave Sensor

View page
US Patent:
7053529, May 30, 2006
Filed:
Jul 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/611583
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Assignee:
TexZec, Inc. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
H01L 41/08
US Classification:
310333, 310328, 310 26
Abstract:
An acoustic wave sensor/resonator utilizes a torsional wave trapped in an acoustic wave cavity that is formed in a noncylindrical substrate. An acoustic wave transducer is positioned adjacent the acoustic wave cavity off of the centerline of the cavity and in a plane parallel to a planar surface of the acoustic wave cavity to generate the torsional wave. The acoustic wave transducer can be a piezoelectric transducer or an electromagnetic transducer. Further, the torsional wave can be generated by a single transducer or multiple transducers.

Acoustic Wave Touch Actuated Switch

View page
US Patent:
7106310, Sep 12, 2006
Filed:
Nov 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/998355
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Chris Kalmus - LaGrange IL, US
Assignee:
TexZec, Inc. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345177, 345169, 178 1804, 310318, 310328, 310333
Abstract:
An acoustic wave switch includes a substrate with an acoustic wave cavity formed therein such that the mass per unit area of the acoustic cavity is greater than the mass per unit area of the substrate adjacent the cavity. A transducer is mounted on the acoustic cavity for generating an acoustic wave that is substantially trapped in the cavity. A touch on the touch surface of the acoustic wave cavity absorbs acoustic wave energy and produces a detectable change in the impedance of the transducer. The acoustic wave switch has a high Q so as to enable a touch to be detected by extremely simple, low-cost circuitry. The acoustic wave switch of the present invention is rugged, explosion proof, operates in the presence of liquids and other contaminants, has a low power consumption and can be incorporated and integrally formed in a wall of a housing for a device.

Acoustic Wave Touch Detection Circuit And Method

View page
US Patent:
7265746, Sep 4, 2007
Filed:
Jun 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/454003
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Wayne J. Wehrer - Austin TX, US
Chris Kalmus - LaGrange IL, US
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345173, 345156
Abstract:
A circuit for an acoustic wave switch or sensor having a resonant acoustic wave cavity detects a touch or sensed event using a time domain approach. The circuit includes a controller that drives an acoustic wave transducer to generate a resonant acoustic wave in the acoustic wave cavity during a first portion of a sampling cycle. In a second portion of the sampling cycle, the controller monitors the time that it takes for the acoustic wave signal from the transducer to decay to a predetermined level. Based on the decay time, the controller detects a sensed event, such as a touch on the acoustic wave switch/sensor.

Individual Acoustic Wave Switch

View page
US Patent:
7307627, Dec 11, 2007
Filed:
May 12, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/435853
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works, Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345177, 345169, 345156, 178 1804, 310318, 310328, 310333
Abstract:
An individual acoustic wave switch includes a body with a top section having an acoustic wave cavity formed therein and a base section extending downwardly from the top section. An acoustic wave transducer is mounted adjacent to a surface of the acoustic wave cavity opposite the touch surface thereof so as to generate an acoustic wave in the acoustic wave cavity and to pick up a signal representing the acoustic wave energy in the cavity. The acoustic wave switch is readily mounted in an aperture of a substrate through which the base of the switch extends.

Acoustic Wave Touch Actuated Switch With Feedback

View page
US Patent:
7463249, Dec 9, 2008
Filed:
Nov 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/998220
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
G06F 3/043
US Classification:
345177, 345173, 345179, 178 1801
Abstract:
An acoustic wave switch includes a substrate with an acoustic wave cavity formed therein such that the mass per unit area of the acoustic cavity is greater than the mass per unit area of the substrate adjacent the cavity. A transducer is mounted on the acoustic cavity for generating an acoustic wave that is substantially trapped in the cavity. A touch on the touch surface of the acoustic wave cavity absorbs acoustic wave energy and produces a detectable change in the impedance of the transducer. Various feedback mechanisms can be employed to provide a user with a tactile, audible and/or visual response indicating actuation of the switch by a touch.

Acoustic Wave Touch Bar System And Method Of Use

View page
US Patent:
7511704, Mar 31, 2009
Filed:
Jul 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/187446
Inventors:
Terence J. Knowles - Barrington IL, US
Wayne J. Wehrer - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345177, 345176
Abstract:
Certain embodiments provide an acoustic wave touch bar system and method of use. Certain embodiments include a bar having two portions of reduced cross-section forming an acoustic cavity in the portion of the bar between the reduced cross-sections. The system includes an acoustic wave transducer positioned on the acoustic wave cavity, wherein the transducer generates an acoustic standing wave that is substantially trapped in the acoustic cavity. The system also includes a circuit coupled to the transducer and responsive to a change in an output of the transducer to detect a touch on a touch surface of the bar. The circuit may be a programmable and/or adaptive circuit, for example. The circuit may detect a change in an exponentially decaying response of the transducer indicating that the touch surface of the bar has been touched.
