摘要:
The acoustic radiating membrane (1) is for assembly in a music box or a striking watch. The membrane is made with at least one area of asymmetrical shape, formed in the material of the membrane or with at least one area of asymmetrical shape having a different thickness from the general thickness of the membrane. It preferably includes two asymmetrical areas of elliptical shape (2, 3) which are partly superposed and have a different thickness from each other. The two ellipses (2, 3), preferably hollowed out of the membrane, are off-centre in relation to each other.

A method and apparatus for manufacturing an optical fiber includes the steps and/or means of: drawing a fiber from a heated preform by applying a pulling force to the fiber; spinning the fiber while it is drawn, wherein the step of spinning the fiber includes the sub-steps of winding the fiber on a spin roller by a winding arc, such that a friction force is generated between the fiber and the spin roller resulting from the winding arc and from the pulling force; axially displacing the spin roller such that the fiber is caused to roll over the spin roller surface by the friction force.
