Title: Shigeki Kanbara: Innovator in Acoustic Touch Technology
Introduction
Shigeki Kanbara is a notable inventor based in Hineji, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of acoustic touch technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on developing devices that enhance user interaction through touch-sensitive technology.
Latest Patents
Kanbara's latest patents include an "Acoustic Contact Detecting Device" and an "Acoustic Touch Sensor." The Acoustic Contact Detecting Device aims to provide a touch-type coordinate input device that can generate an electric signal to a transducer, even when using a piezoelectric vibrator with electrodes on both surfaces. This device incorporates acoustic wave transducers that oscillate a bulk wave toward the substrate's top surface, along with a planar wiring system that supplies electric power to the piezoelectric vibrator. The design also features diffractive acoustic wave mode couplers that convert bulk waves into surface acoustic waves and vice versa, addressing fragility issues associated with traditional cable wiring.
The Acoustic Touch Sensor serves a similar purpose, allowing for touch-type coordinate input even when the transducer is located on the back surface of the substrate. This device also utilizes acoustic wave transducers and a planar wiring system, ensuring durability and reliability in its operation.
