This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024918 titled 'Altering and Enhancing Resonator Performances Using Free to Fixed Boundary Ratio (FFBR) Topology

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a resonator and/or transducer that includes a deflectable membrane, a fixed substrate, and at least one cavity between them. The free to fixed boundary ratio (ffbr) of the deflectable membrane is chosen to optimize a specific characteristic of the device, such as resonant frequency, displacement, operating voltage, electromechanical coupling coefficient, or mass sensitivity.

* The invention is a resonator and/or transducer with a deflectable membrane and a fixed substrate.
* The device has at least one cavity between the deflectable membrane and the fixed substrate.
* The free to fixed boundary ratio (ffbr) of the deflectable membrane is carefully selected to optimize a specific characteristic of the device.
* The characteristic that can be optimized includes resonant frequency, displacement, operating voltage, electromechanical coupling coefficient, or mass sensitivity.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Acoustic devices: The resonator and/or transducer can be used in acoustic devices such as microphones, speakers, or ultrasonic sensors.
