Definitions
- This invention relates to systems and methods for generating audible signals from a laminated sheet product containing a printed battery.
- Laminated sheet products containing printed batteries and integrated circuits have been used, for example, in identification cards of the type described in U.S. Patent 5,055,968 to Nishi et al.
- adhesives are used together with laminations made of plastic materials having thicknesses that together give the product a significant overall stiffness.
- Such a construction is inadequate for audio systems such as greeting cards or leaves of books due to the prohibitive cost of materials, the lack of flexibility of the completed product, and the lack of audio speaker and switch components that are compatible with manufacturing processes of such laminated products.
- a circuit in one embodiment of the present invention includes an integrated circuit and a folded substrate.
- the folded substrate includes first and second circuit portions.
- the first and second circuit portions are printed and aligned when the substrate is folded, to cooperate as a battery.
- a third and fourth circuit portion are printed and aligned when the substrate is folded to cooperate as a switch for providing an input signal to the integrated circuit.
- a fifth and sixth circuit portion are printed and aligned when the substrate is folded to cooperate as a speaker for vibrating a portion of the substrate at an audio frequency.
- a piezoelectric element is mounted on the substrate and coupled to the integrated circuit for vibrating a portion of the substrate at an audio frequency.

- FIG. 1 illustrates a paper greeting card 1 (or a page from a multi-page paper greeting card) as an exemplary environment for practicing and explaining the invention. It will be understood, however, that the invention may be practiced in any suitable laminated sheet product.
- Greeting card 1 is laminated with electronic circuitry (shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1) sandwiched between first and second outer layers, typically formed by suitably folding a single, prepared, larger sheet.
- the electronic circuitry which includes the present invention, will be shown in further detail below.

- left inner face 5 and right inner face 6 are preferably folded about imaginary central fold line 7 and glued in face-to-face relationship after the electronic circuitry is deposited, as will be described. While inner faces 5 and 6 could be sides of separate thin sheets, economies of production and technical advantages lead to the preference of using a single sheet to be processed and then folded into the laminated sheet structure.

- inner faces 5 and 6 become, respectively, upper and lower substrates with the battery structure sandwiched therebetween.
- Lower electrically conductive pad 20 (for example, silver or copper) is printed on inner face 6.

- a peripheral layer of adhesive 28 encompasses battery structure 8 to assure ongoing integrity of the battery formed when faces 5 and 6 are folded together.
- Electrode pads 20, 21, shown in FIG. 3A it has been found that it is not necessary, for some electrode materials, to employ conductive pads 20, 21, shown in FIG. 3A, so that the simplified battery structure shown in FIG. 3B may be used instead.

- support structure 27 may be omitted (as in FIG. 3B) to further simplify the printed battery.
- the battery resulting from bringing together battery structures 8 and 9 is connected via printed conductors 22 and 23 to provide power to integrated circuit 10.
- negative leads 22 from the battery are supplied to one electrical side of each of the switch structures 13 and 15, whose operation will be described below.
- the positive and negative electrodes of dissimilar metals may be selected from the conventional oxidation/reduction table included in many physics and chemistry texts and handbooks, and a suitable electrolyte gel may be similarly selected.

- a preferred electrolyte contains a wetting agent, thickener to retain the wetting agent, a weak base, and a binder.
- the electrolyte is 87% by volume wetting agent, 10% thickener (such as ethyl cellulose), 2% base (such as sodium hydroxide), and 1% adhesive binder (such as polymer resin).
- the wetting agent in one version is prepared as polypropylene glycol mixed one part by weight with nine parts water.
- the base is added to the remaining electrolyte mixture until the pH of the mixture is in the range 7.1 to 7.7, preferably 7.4.
- a weak acid is added in place of the weak base for a pH in the range 6.9 to 6.8, preferably 6.8.
- the configurations of FIGs. 3 A and 3B may be further modified by first laying down a thin layer of flexible, non-porous, insulating material, such as vinyl, over portions of inner faces 5 and 6 before the structures described above are deposited.
- a rechargeable printed battery is achieved by selecting appropriate electrodes and electrolyte, such as nickel and cadmium with known electrolyte, and providing suitable access to negative and positive leads
- the speaker resulting from bringing speaker elements 11 and 12 together when inner faces 5 and 6 of greeting card 1 are brought together and glued may take several forms, for example: piezoelectric, permanent magnet and electromagnetic.
- FIGs. 1, 2 and 4A a first example of the cross section of the speaker structure identified by the lines 4 - 4 in FIG. 1 is shown.
- lower conductive pad 31 and hence one side of piezoelectric element 34, via the conductive adhesive 33, is electrically connected directly to the negative lead 22 from the battery.
- piezoelectric element 34 is not printed per se.
- piezoelectric element 34 is formed by printing.
- conductive pads 30 and 31 are printed with ink containing silver.
- a piezoelectric material for example, a polyvinyldene fluoride (PVDF) material such as one of the type supplied by AMP, Inc. of Harrisburg, PA, is printed onto one of the conductive pads 30 and 31.
- PVDF polyvinyldene fluoride
- a dielectric spacer may be printed partially under, over or both to insulate portions of the PVDF material from unintended electrical contacts.
- PVDF material is annealed with heat.

- permanent magnet 36 is printed on upper substrate 5, and printed coil 38 is printed on lower substrate 6, the two being electrically insulated from one another by printed insulation layer 37.
- Permanent magnet 36 establishes a magnetic field.
- Printed coil 38 driven by audio signals provided by integrated circuit 10 via output printed lead 35 with the return path through negative (ground) lead 22, responds to the audio signals by developing a co ⁇ espondingly varying electromagnetic field which reacts with the field of permanent magnet 36. Consequently, coil 38 and permanent magnet 36 move with respect to one another.
- the sheet material surrounding coil 38 and the sheet material surrounding permanent magnet 36 each acts as a speaker cone, further defined by the stiffening function of ring of adhesive 28.
- Printed magnet 36 may consist of a mixture of neodiminium boron impregnated into a polymer slurry at a 600 grain mesh which is dried and subsequently magnetized.
- the third, electromagnetic, speaker embodiment shown in FIG. 4C is similar to that shown in
- second coil 39 is printed on upper substrate 36 and is selectively (e.g., conventionally by a switch, not shown) energized directly (or in a conventional current limiting fashion utilizing a printed resistor, not shown) from the battery via printed conductors 22 and 23. Consequently, second coil 39 establishes the reference field for the varying field produced by coil 38 as previously discussed.
- FIG. 5 shows spiral wound coil 70 which can be used as drive coil 38, field coil 39, or both in the electromagnetic speaker embodiment shown in FIG. 4C.
- Printed insulating area 71 serves to insulate line 22 to the center of spiral wound coil 70 from shorting out the windings.
- FIG. 6 shows fan shaped coil 72, driven at the edge and the center, which is particularly well suited for use as drive coil 38.
- insulating pad 73 is printed before conductor 22 is laid down.
- the printed circuit includes upper switch (contact pad) regions 13 and 15 disposed on left inner face 5.
- Upper contact pad region 13 includes closely spaced, but not touching, conductors 41 and 42 which are, therefore, normally open.
- Upper contact pad region 15 includes closely spaced, but not touching, conductors 43 and 44 which are, therefore, normally open.
- a corresponding plurality of lower contact pad regions 14 and 16 are similarly provided on right inner face 6.
- Lower switch (contact pad) regions include, respectively, sets 45, 46 of parallel printed conductors. From an examination of FIG.
- the momentary closure of the first switch serves to momentarily place a circuit ground potential on input 49 to integrated circuit 10 to provide a first input signal to integrated circuit 10.
- upper switch structure 15 registers with switch structure 16 to provide a second switch with conductors 43 and 44 juxtaposed above and at right angles with respect to parallel conductors 46. However, they are held in normally spaced apart relationship by the thickness of printed circumferential insulator ring 48. Therefore, the second switch is normally open, but pressing with a finger at the position indicated at 3 (FIG. 1) serves to push the conductors 43 and 44 into contact with the transverse conductors 46 to effect momentary closure of the second switch.
- the momentary closure of the second switch serves to momentarily place a circuit ground potential on input 50 to integrated circuit 10 to provide a second input signal to integrated circuit 10.
- FIG. 7 includes a block diagram of an exemplary integrated circuit 10.
- Battery 60 is the battery completed by the integration of battery structure 8 and battery structure 9 previously described and in either of the embodiments respectively shown in FIGs. 3A and 3B or an equivalent.
- speaker 61 is the speaker completed by the integration of speaker structure 11 and speaker structure 12, previously described, and in any of the embodiments shown in FIGs. 4A, 4B and 4C, or an equivalent.
- Switches 62 correspond to the switch pairs completed when the switch structures 13 and 14, and the switch structures 15 and 16 are integrated as previously described and such other switches as may be provided in a given application.
- Switches 62 are coupled to microprocessor 63 which includes memory 64 in which one or more sequences of sounds are stored. Depending upon the identification of an active input signal, a predetermined audio drive signal sequence is sent to sound generator 65 which drives speaker 61 to render the selected audio passage/message signal audible.
- memory 64 in which one or more sequences of sounds are stored.
- a predetermined audio drive signal sequence is sent to sound generator 65 which drives speaker 61 to render the selected audio passage/message signal audible.
- the memory for the storage of the sound passages may alternatively be incorporated in the sound generator. All components of integrated circuit 10 are available in a single off-the-shelf unit.
- output interface block 67 The purpose of output interface block 67 is to provide for the incorporation of visual and audible enhancements to the greeting card under the direction of microprocessor 63.
- light emitting diodes may be selectively energized by interface block 67 via output line(s) 68.
- output line(s) 68 For a more complete exposition of this optional feature, one may refer to U.S. Patent 5,484,292 for APPARATUS
- insulating areas 55 must be laid down to insure against shorting out circuitry when the folding step is carried out to bring inner faces 5 and 6 together.
- battery structure 9 has associated therewith three such insulating areas 55 which serve to prevent shorting the leads 22 and 23 to the opposite electrode structure. It will be clear to those skilled in the art that the positions at which such insulating areas are printed depends on the layout of individual circuits.
- Printed or otherwise laid down adhesive layers 28 are provided in appropriate and available positions to obtain a stable folded, joined, or folded and joined structure.
- adhesive is provided about the periphery of inner face 5 and also in various other regions available to obtain direct mating of inner faces 5 and 6.
- Suitable printing equipment include Gravere and Flex-O-Press printing presses and screen printing apparatus. Standard multi-station offset printing presses can also be utilized, if properly configured to deposit the conductive traces in "solid coverage"; that is, so that the conductive ink deposited by the press printing units does not include any interstices. That is to say, in such a manner that the dots of conductive ink deposited by the press overlap or overlay to provide a continuous conductive path.
- web-fed offset printing presses typically include a number of successive print stations. Each print station is associated with a particular color, and, typically, includes upper and lower sets of rollers to selectively apply ink of that color to both sides of the web (i.e., foldable sheet 1) on a substantially concurrent basis.
- the web passes through the respective printing stations in sequence to develop a multi-color image.
- Each printing station applies its respective ink in accordance with an associated dot matrix (corresponding to a color separation) established by a plate.
- the operation of the individual units is coordinated so that the respective images as printed are in registry.
- the combinations of colors and relative dispositions of the matrices provide a composite image having the desired form, composition, and color.
- one set (e.g., the lower) of print rollers in the respective stations can be used to lay down the pictorial aspects and a second set (e.g., the upper) of print rollers can be used to deposit the various conductive, electrolyte, and insulating inks in a sequence optimized for a given circuit.
- Disposition of a continuous, sufficiently thick, conductive path along each conductive trace can be facilitated by employing a plurality of successive print stations, each applying a conductive ink in sequence.
- the respective dot matrices laid down by the successive units are preferably slightly offset, but overlap each other.
- a suitable flexible dielectric ink to use in insulating overlapping conductive traces from one another as described is the product marketed by Olin Hunt Specialty Products Inc., a subsidiary of the Olin Corporation of Ontario, California, under the name "37AC22 Curable Spacer".
- the printable substrates 5 and 6 are preferably made of non-conductive material capable of accepting flexible conductive ink and the other inks used in printing the circuit, battery, and speaker. Any material is acceptable: (a) which will accept the inks employed, such as a heavy paper or suitably coated or otherwise prepared plastic, and (b) which can be folded without breakage.
- the material used may vary from pure paper to pure synthetic substances, including a variety of composite materials. For example, the products sold by Paper Sources International under the trademark "Chromolux” and by the Champion International Corporation under the trademark “Cromekote” consist of paper coated on both sides with a layer of synthetic material, available in overall thicknesses from approximately 6 to 18 thousands of an inch.
- the product marketed by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation under the trademark "Kimdura” consists entirely of synthetic paper, a polypropylene material, available in thicknesses ranging from about 3 to 12 thousands of an inch.
- a substrate having conductive properties may be employed by first coating the substrate surface or surfaces with the dielectric ink in at least those regions where conductive ink will be printed.
- Suitable drying/curing steps are taken, as may be necessary, between some or all of the depositing steps, all as well known in the art.
