Assignee:

Knowles Electronics, LLC. - Itasca IL

International Classification:

H01L 29/82

US Classification:

257415, 438 53

Abstract:

A solid-state transducer is disclosed. The transducer comprises a semi-conductor substrate forming a support structure and having an opening. A thin-film structure forming a diaphragm responsive to fluid-transmitted acoustic pressure is disposed over the opening. The transducer further includes a plurality of semi-conductor supports and tangential arms extending from the diaphragm edge for connecting the periphery of the diaphragm to the supports. The tangential arms permit the diaphragm to rotate relative to the supports to relieve film stress in the diaphragm. The transducer still further includes a plurality of stop bumps disposed between the substrate and the diaphragm. The stop bumps determine the separation of the diaphragm from the substrate when the transducer is biased.

Inventors:

Sung K. Lee - Glenview IL, US

International Classification:

B25G 1/10

US Classification:

81489

Abstract:

A tool handle including: a body configured to receive a handle of a tool; a hand grip extending approximately perpendicular from the body; and an arm ring rotatably disposed on the body, wherein the arm ring is adapted to be placed in at least two positions, a first position in which the arm ring is generally perpendicular to the hand grip such that a user may place the user's forearm through the arm ring to grasp the hand grip and a second position in which the arm ring is generally parallel to the hand grip so as to minimize the width of the tool handle.

Assignee:

KNOWLES ELECTRONICS, LLC - Itasca IL

International Classification:

H01L 29/84

US Classification:

257416, 257E29324

Abstract:

A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device includes a housing and a base. The base includes a port opening extending therethrough and the port opening communicates with the external environment. The MEMS die is disposed on the base and over the opening. The MEMS die includes a diaphragm and a back plate and the MEMS die, the base, and the housing form a back volume. At least one vent extends through the MEMS die and not through the diaphragm. The at least one vent communicates with the back volume and the port opening and is configured to allow venting between the back volume and the external environment.

International Classification:

A63B 6936

US Classification:

273181F

Abstract:

An indoor golf chip shot practice apparatus which is to be used for practicing chip shots in the game of golf. The apparatus comprises a rectangular prism shape safety net with only one opening to the side of the user, therefore, the golf ball stays inside of the safety net even in case of bad shots. The apparatus also comprises a frame to support and encompass the safety net and is designed in such a way that the golf ball rolls back on the floor of the safety net to the user after each shot.
