This invention relates to acoustic drivers with stationary and moving coils. Time varying signals are applied to the moving and stationary coils to control the movement of a diaphragm, which produces audible sound. The time varying signals correspond to an input audio signal such that the sound corresponds to the input audio signal. Some of the described embodiments include multiple moving coils, multiple stationary coils or both. Some embodiments include feedback for adjusting one or more of the signals based on a characteristic of the acoustic driver. Various compensation and other features of the invention are also described in relation to various embodiments.

There are provided a vibration film (21) having a piezoelectric element, a magnetic circuit (20) which generates magnetic force on the basis of a first electric signal and vibrates the vibration film (21) by the magnetic force; and an adjustment unit (31) which generates a second electric signal on the basis of the first electric signal and applies a voltage based on the second electric signal between both surfaces of the piezoelectric element. The amplitude of the entire vibration film (21) is expanded by making the vibration by the magnetic force, which is generated from the magnetic circuit (20), and the vibration, which is generated by application of a voltage to the piezoelectric element, synchronize with each other.

摘要:
A passive acousto-optic modulator for the modulation of a light beam as a function of a variation in air pressure comprising a beam splitter arranged relative to the beam so as to produce a signal beam and reference beam, the beam splitter ideally comprising a flat interface located between two optically transparent mediums such as the end of an optic fiber located within air, the interface being arranged relative to the light modulator such that when the light beam travels through the interface, some of the light beam is able to pass through the interface to form the signal beam, the rest of the light beam being reflected back off the interface to form the reflected reference beam; a light modulator which modulates the signal beam, the light modulator comprising an approximately flat optically reflective surface capable of movement, the reflective surface being located in a position which, at rest is a predetermined distance from the beam splitter and is approximately parallel to and facing the beam splitter and a piezoelectric element, the piezoelectric element being connected to the reflective surface in such a way that when an electric potential is applied across the piezoelectric element, it causes the reflective surface to move; and conversion means to convert variations in air pressure into corresponding variations in a signal for driving the light modulator; the arrangement being such that the modulated signal beam is combined with the reference beam to produce constructive or destructive interference.
摘要:
A multi-driver loudspeaker combination includes a first transducer of the dynamic radiator type, designed to reproduce sound in the lower portion of the audio frequency range. The radiator of the first transducer includes a diaphragm. The combination also includes a second transducer designed to reproduce sound in the upper portion of the audio frequency range. A base support, which is somewhat horn-shaped, is mounted on the first transducer diaphragm, a voice coil form, or dust cap, or some combination of these, within the periphery of the first transducer diaphragm, and extends away from the first transducer. This base support terminates at an edge remote from the first transducer. The edge is in the form of a closed plane curve. The second transducer includes a diaphragm having a perimetral edge which is joined to the edge of the base support to support the second transducer from the first. This mounting structure permits orientation of the second transducer axis at an angle to the axis of the first transducer. Another multi-driver loudspeaker combination comprises the first transducer, a second transducer including a piezoelectric crystal driver, and an adhesive for gluing the piezoelectric crystal of the second transducer to the dust cap of the first transducer. Again, the axis of the second transducer can be oriented at an angle to the axis of the first transducer.
