  2. Piezoelectric speaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_speaker

    A piezoelectric speaker (also known as a piezo bender due to its mode of operation, and sometimes colloquially called a "piezo", buzzer, crystal loudspeaker or beep speaker) is a loudspeaker that uses the piezoelectric effect for generating sound. The initial mechanical motion is created by applying a voltage to a piezoelectric material, and ...

  3. Buzzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzer

    Piezoelectric buzzers, or piezo buzzers, as they are sometimes called, were invented by Japanese manufacturers and fitted into a wide array of products during the 1970s to 1980s. This advancement mainly came about because of cooperative efforts by Japanese manufacturing companies.

  4. Piezoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_sensor

    Metal disks with piezo material, used in buzzers or as contact microphones. Piezoelectric technology can measure various physical quantities, most commonly pressure and acceleration. For pressure sensors, a thin membrane and a massive base is used, ensuring that an applied pressure specifically loads the elements in one direction.

  5. Piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_micro...

    A piezoelectric microelectromechanical system (piezoMEMS) is a miniature or microscopic device that uses piezoelectricity to generate motion and carry out its tasks. It is a microelectromechanical system that takes advantage of an electrical potential that appears under mechanical stress.

    The following is a list of CMOS 4000-series digital logic integrated circuits.In 1968, the original 4000-series was introduced by RCA.Although more recent parts are considerably faster, the 4000 devices operate over a wide power supply range (3V to 18V recommended range for "B" series) and are well suited to unregulated battery powered applications and interfacing with sensitive analogue ...

  7. Crystal oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

    A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses a piezoelectric crystal as a frequency-selective element. [1] [2] [3] The oscillator frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers.

    The Buzzers stopped working when Mel B. unplugged a cord to charge her cell phone. Even though the crowd was booing and the judges were pressing their buttons relentlessly, the guys continued to ...

  9. Piezo switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_switch

    A piezo switch is an electrical switch based on the piezoelectric effect.. The charge generated by the piezoelectric element in the switch is typically used to turn on an integrated semiconductor device such as a field effect transistor (FET), causing the switch assembly's output to be active, or "on".
