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


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113689 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 front and back surfaces, vibrating portion, and support portion.
* Electrode system including first and second excitation electrodes, first and second pad electrodes.
* First metal film on the first pad electrode and second metal film on the second pad electrode.

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

== Problems Solved ==
The vibrator element provides a reliable and efficient way to generate vibrations in devices that require such functionality.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include precise control over vibrations, durability, and potentially lower production costs.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
* "Innovative Vibrator Element Technology for Vibrating Devices"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to vibrating elements in various devices, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

== 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 compared to the pad electrodes, but it does not elaborate on the significance of this difference in thickness.

=== Are there any specific industries or markets where this technology is expected to have the most impact? ===
While the abstract mentions potential applications in various devices, it does not specify any particular industries or markets where the vibrator element technology is expected to be most beneficial.


==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.
