摘要： A system includes an apparatus and a processor. The apparatus includes a set of actuator elements that move between two positions. Each actuator element is comprised in: exactly one first subset out of a plurality of non-empty first subsets and exactly one second subset out of a plurality of non-empty second subsets. The processor is configured to generate one or more control commands for a group of subsets out of the first and the second pluralities of subsets in response to a number of moving elements which, if released from the first extreme position during a second sampling cycle, enables production by the apparatus during the second sampling cycle of a sound.

摘要： An image of a pinna is captured. Based on the image of the pinna, a non-linear transfer function is determined which characterizes how sound is transformed at the pinna. A signal is output indicative of one or more audio cues to facilitate spatial localization of sound via the pinna, where the one or more audio cues is based on the non-linear transfer function.

摘要： A digitally driven headphone suppresses the occurrence of spurious radiation even when directly converting digital signals into sound waves. The digitally driven headphone includes a first sound emission unit, a second sound emission unit, and a signal line. The first sound emission unit includes at least one magnetic body into which the signal line is inserted, a signal processing circuit configured to process digital signals from a sound source, a circuit board on which the signal processing circuit is disposed, a driving part configured to drive the diaphragm in response to digital signals from the sound source, and a diaphragm configured to vibrate in response to driving of the driving part. The signal processing circuit has an output part disposed at an end portion of the circuit board. The signal line is inserted into the at least one magnetic body, and is connected to the output part and the second sound emission unit. The at least one magnetic body is disposed adjacent to the output part.

摘要： Various examples are provided for digital sound reconstruction using piezoelectric array elements. In one example, a digital loudspeaker includes a fixed frame and an array of transducers disposed on the fixed frame. Individual transducers of the array of transducers can include a flexible membrane disposed on a piezoelectric actuation element positioned over a corresponding opening that extends through the fixed frame. In another example, a method includes forming a flexible membrane structure on a substrate and backetching the substrate opposite the flexible membrane structure. The flexible membrane structure can be formed by disposing a first electrode layer on a substrate, disposing a piezoelectric layer on the first electrode layer and disposing a second electrode layer on the piezoelectric layer. A flexible membrane layer (e.g., polyimide) can be disposed on the second electrode layer.

摘要： A digital loudspeaker and a method for operating a digital loudspeaker are disclosed. In an embodiment a digital loudspeaker includes a substrate, a first stator fixed with respect to the substrate, a second stator fixed with respect to the substrate and spaced at a distance from the first stator, and a membrane between the first stator and the second stator. The membrane is displaceable between a first position in which the membrane mechanically contacts the first stator and a second position in which the membrane mechanically contacts the second stator. The first stator and the second stator are arranged to electrostatically move the membrane from a rest position spaced apart from the first position and the second position to the first position and the second position, respectively.
