摘要:
A speaker which is thin but which is capable of providing high-fidelity reproduction and ensuring a suitable level of sound pressure even when it is brought close to a wall. A closed chamber is formed behind one part of a disphragm mounted in an enclosure, and an open chamber is formed behind another part of the diaphragm. At least one voice coil driver unit is connected to the diaphragm. The phase difference between sounds radiated from the front and rear surfaces of the diaphragm is increased as large as possible by using an acoustic duct for the sound radiated through the open chamber, thereby minimizing cancellation of sounds and improving the sound pressure level.

A speaker system has an acoustic diaphragm and an image projection screen provided on a surface of the diaphragm integrally therewith so as to enable the user to enjoy both realistic image on the screen and powerful sound reproduced through the diaphragm. The rear surface of the diaphragm is closed at a peripheral portion thereof while the central portion of the rear surface of the diaphragm is opened to the exterior, so that the speaker system can provide a high level of reproduced sound pressure in low-pitched region, while the thickness of the speaker is reduced remarkably. The diaphgram can be driven by a plurality of driving units so that the speaker system can operate only with an ordinary stereophonic amplifier. The diaphragm can be composed of a pair of diaphragm elements capable of vibrating independently of each other and the screen may be integrally and commonly attached to the surfaces of these diaphragm elements in such a manner as to allow the diaphragm elements to vibrate independently of each other, whereby the speaker system can operate in stereophonic mode. Any variation in the acoustic characteristic attributable to variation in the condition of installation is compensated for by a change in the ratio of the opened area of the rear surface of the diaphragm to the whole effective vibration area or by a selective provision of a sound absorbing member on the rear side of the cabinet.

A diaphragm for loudspeakers comprises chitin as a natural high polymeric material having a large value of Young's modulus and kraft pulp having large mechanical internal loss. Therefore, the deformation and the partial vibrations of the diaphragm during diaphragm operation do not come out due to the use of the chitin, because the flexural rigidity of the diaphragm is considerably large. Mechanical internal loss is also large owing to the use of the kraft pulp. As a result, it is possible to obtain a loudspeaker which has little fluctuation in frequency response, and which provides a superior sound pressure-frequency response, a superior distortion factor and a superior phase response.

An electrodynamic loudspeaker which comprises a generally rectangular flat vibrating plate, and first and second magnetic drives for driving the vibrating plate to produce vibrations. The first magnetic drive is so positioned as to drive the vibrating plate at a first location corresponding to one of two line nodes m.sub.1 and m.sub.2 of vibration of a first predetermined frequency f.sub.1 which would be produced when the vibrating plate is driven at the center thereof, whereas the second magnetic drive is so positioned as to drive the vibrating plate at a second location corresponding to one of four line nodes n.sub.1, n.sub.2, n.sub.3 and n.sub.4 of vibration of a second predetermined frequency f.sub.3 which would be produced when the vibrating plate is driven at the center thereof. Each of all of the line nodes extends in parallel to the shorter sides of the rectangular shape of the vibrating plate.

In a vane pump, a pump housing assembly contains a cam ring having an internal cam surface. A rotor carrying plural vanes is disposed within the cam ring and rotated by a drive shaft. Both end surfaces of the cam ring contact with a pair of flat contact surfaces formed within the pump housing assembly, respectively, and the vanes define plural pump sectors between the rotor and the cam ring, together with the rotor, the cam ring and the pair of contact surfaces. The contact surfaces are formed with a pair of intake ports and a pair of exhaust ports. Furthermore, one of the contact surfaces is provided with a pair of pressure leaking grooves formed at locations between the intake ports and the exhaust ports. The locations of the pressure leaking grooves are chosen so as to leak fluid in pump sectors communicating with the exhaust ports to adjacent pump sectors communicating with the intake ports through passages formed by the pressure leaking grooves and the side edges of vanes located between the two pump sectors whenever the instantaneous pressure of the fluid in the exhaust ports approaches an instantaneous maximum pressure. With this operation, the instantaneous maximum pressure is decreased, thereby the amplitude of the pressure pulsation being reduced.

A rotary valve for a power steering system includes a valve sleeve in which a rotor is rotatably carried for controlling fluid flow from a supply pump to a cylinder of the power steering system. A plurality of lands are formed on the outer periphery of the rotor, at least three of which have the same configuration. A plurality of lands are formed on the inner periphery of the valve sleeve, at least two of which have the same configuration to thereby vary the areas of two orifices formed between the three lands of the rotor and the two lands of the valve sleeve at the same rate during relative rotation therebetween. Further, the edge portions of the three lands of the rotor are formed with two longitudinally curved slopes so as to provide an optimum two-step valving characteristic. Furthermore, two of lands formed on the rotor have at each side edge portion thereof a longitudinaly curved and radially extending wall so as to form additional orifice areas to provide an optimum valving characteristic by combining the same with the above two orifice areas.

A rotary servovalve includes a valve sleeve formed with a supply port for connection to a source of fluid under pressure and distribution ports respectively for connection to opposite fluid chambers of a hydraulic power cylinder, the valve sleeve being formed at the inner periphery thereof with circumferentially spaced sleeve channels respectively in open communication with the supply and distribution ports, and a valve rotor coupled with the valve sleeve for relative rotation thereto, the valve rotor being formed thereon with circumferentially spaced control lands which are arranged to correspond with the sleeve channels when the servovalve is in a neutral position. The control lands corresponding with the sleeve channels in open communication with the distribution ports are each formed larger in width than the corresponding sleeve channel and smaller in height than the control land corresponding with the sleeve channel in open communication with the supply port to define a predetermined clearance for restricting the flow of fluid discharged from and supplied into the distribution ports when the servovalve is in the neutral position.

The present invention discloses a process for fabrication of dielectric optical waveguide devices by utilizing selective epitaxial growth. Concentrated energy such as an electron or laser beam is focused on a predetermined region on the surface of a substrate during the epitaxial growth with the application of molecular beams so that the mixed crystal grown in the irradiated region may have a chemical composition different from that of the mixed crystal grown on the non-irradiated region. Since this process permits to overlaying the embedded waveguides one upon another, complex optical waveguide devices can be fabricated in a simple manner.
