==Vibrator Element - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18476700 titled 'Vibrator Element

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a vibrator element with a plate-shaped vibrating substrate, electrodes, metal films, and support portions.

* Plate-shaped vibrating substrate with a vibrating portion and a support portion
* Electrode system including first and second excitation electrodes, first and second pad electrodes
* Metal films with varying thickness on the pad electrodes

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be used in various vibrating devices such as sex toys, medical devices, or haptic feedback systems.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology provides a more efficient and reliable way to generate vibrations in devices compared to traditional methods.

== Benefits ==
The vibrator element offers precise control over vibration intensity and frequency, leading to enhanced user experience and performance in devices.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
* "Innovative Vibrator Element for Enhanced User Experience and Performance"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be existing patents or technologies related to vibrating elements in devices, but further research is needed to identify specific prior art.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the thickness of the metal films impact the performance of the vibrator element? ===
The abstract mentions that the metal films have different thicknesses, but it does not elaborate on how this affects the functionality of the device.

=== Are there any specific industries or applications where this technology would not be suitable? ===
While the abstract highlights potential applications, it does not address any limitations or constraints that may restrict the use of this technology in certain industries or devices.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A vibrator element includes: a plate-shaped vibrating substrate including a first surface and a second surface, which are in a front and back relationship, and including a vibrating portion and a support portion that supports the vibrating portion and has a thickness smaller than that of the vibrating portion; an electrode including a first excitation electrode disposed at the first surface at the vibrating portion, a second excitation electrode disposed at the second surface at the vibrating portion, a first pad electrode disposed at the support portion and electrically coupled to the first excitation electrode, and a second pad electrode disposed at the support portion and electrically coupled to the second excitation electrode; a first metal film disposed at an upper layer on the first pad electrode and having a thickness larger than that of the first pad electrode; and a second metal film disposed at an upper layer on the second pad electrode and having a thickness larger than that of the second pad electrode.
