Revolutionary Innovations in Piezoelectric Actuators and Transformers at FACE

Abstract

In the middle 90s, the Face Companies created Face International Corporation to focus R&D efforts on high tech applications in the field of piezoelectric technologies. Since then, the company has developed a portfolio of over 50 US patents and several international Patents. The company is currently commercializing three break through technologies including high deformation Thunder(registered) piezoelectric actuators, High Power Transoner(register) piezoelectric transformers, a battery-less, wire-less remote control powered by its Lightning(registered) piezo generator. A review of these technologies is presented in this poster display.
