.~.~.~ Input circuit for electrical output from piezoelectric element
DEFINITION
Classification: 310/318
Input circuit for electrical output from piezoelectric element:
(under subclass 314) Subject matter having electric circuit elements for driving the piezoelectric element for producing an electrical output from the piezoelectric element.
(1) Note. The output may be fed back to the input circuitry or to additional circuitry. Examples of devices in this subclass are circuits in which the piezoelectric element behaves or functions as an electric circuit element rather than being utilized for any mechanical output, e.g., oscillators, resonators.
