20090190791 | Acoustic transducer comprising a plurality of coaxially arranged diaphragms - An acoustic transducer comprises one or more electromagnetic motors that drive one or more sets of multiple diaphragms to provide acoustically efficient loudspeaker systems having dimensions that allow use in applications that would be difficult or impossible with traditional transducers. The diaphragms may be driven directly, inertially or fluidically. If diaphragms are driven by rods that pass through holes in the diaphragms, noise may be generated by air that leaks through the pass-through holes. This noise may be reduced or eliminated by measures that reduce or eliminate the air leakage. | 07-30-2009 |
20150036867 | ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF COAXIALLY ARRANGED DIAPHRAGMS - An acoustic transducer comprises one or more electromagnetic motors that drive one or more sets of multiple diaphragms to provide acoustically efficient loudspeaker systems having dimensions that allow use in applications that would be difficult or impossible with traditional transducers. The diaphragms may be driven directly, inertially or fluidically. If diaphragms are driven by rods that pass through holes in the diaphragms, noise may be generated by air that leaks through the pass-through holes. This noise may be reduced or eliminated by measures that reduce or eliminate the air leakage. | 02-05-2015 |
20150036868 | ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF COAXIALLY ARRANGED DIAPHRAGMS - An acoustic transducer includes a housing, a plurality of diaphragms suspended from the housing and separated into one or more groups, and one or more motors combined with the housing that operate in response to an electrical signal. The diaphragms of each group are driven by a respective motor to which all the diaphragms in the group are coupled and at least one motor has an indirect coupling with no direct mechanical connection to the diaphragms driven thereby. One or more electromagnetic motors that drive one or more sets of multiple diaphragms to provide acoustically efficient loudspeaker systems having dimensions that allow use in applications that would be difficult or impossible with traditional transducers. | 02-05-2015 |
20150063624 | MAGNETIC SUSPENSION TRANSDUCER - A method for operating an acoustic transducer is provided. The acoustic transducer includes a moving element and a fixed element, wherein the moving element is coupled to surrounding air. In the method, a signal-independent magnetic field is generated to urge the moving element into a rest position when no input signal is received; and a force is generated in response to the input signal and applying that force to the moving element to urge the moving element away from the rest position. The moving element is controlled by a combined influence of the signal-independent magnetic field and the signal-dependent force to generate acoustic vibrations in response to an audio input signal. | 03-05-2015 |
