International Classification:

B67D 5/60

US Classification:

2221451, 222 52, 222 94, 2221455, 2221456

Abstract:

A dispense system stores a scented material or materials and is provided with an electrical interface that is compatible with a hand-held device. The dispense system can be connected to the hand-held device and driven with the help of the hand-held device to dispense the scented material. The dispense system can be configured to store different scented materials that can be mixed to create different scents. Logic within the hand-held device supports the mixing and dispensing of the scented materials.

Assignee:

Avago Technologies Wireless IP Pte Ltd - Singapore

International Classification:

H03H 9/15
H03H 9/54

US Classification:

333187, 310312, 333189

Abstract:

An acoustic resonator that includes a substrate, a first electrode, a layer of piezoelectric material, a second electrode, and a fill region. The first electrode is adjacent the substrate, and the first electrode has an outer perimeter. The piezoelectric layer is adjacent the first electrode. The second electrode is adjacent the piezoelectric layer and the second electrode has an outer perimeter. The fill region is in one of the first and second electrodes.

International Classification:

H01L 29/78

US Classification:

257416, 257245, 333187, 310311, 310324, 310348

Abstract:

An electronic device. The electronic device includes a first electrode and a coating layer. The electronic device is fabricated on a substrate; the substrate has a cavity created in a top surface of the substrate; and the first electrode is electrically coupled to the substrate. The coating layer coats at least part of a substrate surface in the cavity, and the presence of the coating layer results in a mitigation of at least one parasitic leakage path between the first electrode and an additional electrode fabricated on the substrate.

International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

A technique for producing a scent from a hand-held device involves receiving a scent mixture formula at a hand-held device, converting the scent mixture formula into dispense control signals, and generating a scent mixture in response to the dispense control signals, the scent mixture being generated from different base scents that are individually stored within the hand-held device. In an embodiment, the scent mixture formula includes a scent identifier and a scent quantifier related to each base scent that is used to generate the scent mixture. Mixing multiple base scents to generate scent mixtures greatly expands the range of different scents that can be generated at a hand-held device that stores a limited number of base scents. Further, encoding a scent mixture into a scent mixture formula enables scent mixtures to be easily shared between hand-held devices.

Abstract:

A method for fabricating an acoustic resonator comprises providing a substrate; fabricating a first electrode adjacent the substrate; fabricating a piezoelectric layer adjacent the first electrode; depositing electrode material to form a second electrode up to a first thickness adjacent the piezoelectric layer; depositing a first photo mask over the second electrode; depositing additional electrode material to form the second electrode up to a second thickness; removing the photo mask thereby forming a recessed region in the second electrode; and filling the recessed region with a fill material.
