Title: Innovations of Kenneth A Klicker
Introduction
Kenneth A Klicker is a notable inventor based in Whitehall, PA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of electro-mechanical transducers, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the performance and efficiency of transducer technology.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Broad bandwidth composite transducers." This invention describes a broad bandwidth electro-mechanical transducer shaped into a wedge of varying thickness, incorporating a plurality of PZT elements or sheets embedded in an inactive polymer. The transducer is designed to be driven at frequencies that correspond to the resonance of the thickness dimensions. The piezoelectric elements with different thicknesses are mechanically decoupled from one another using an inactive polymer of low Q to prevent interference.
Another significant patent is "PZT Composite and a fabrication method thereof." This patent outlines a composite of PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) and a compliant polymer matrix having 3-1 connectivity. The invention describes an array of parallel PZT rod elements embedded in a mechanically compliant polymer matrix, with their axes aligned along the direction of the poling electric field. This composite achieves a high value of g.sub.h, d.sub.h, and g.sub.33 with minimal sacrifice in the value of d.sub.33.
