  • Patent number: 7261931
    Abstract: An antireflection film laminate comprising a low refractive index film on the surface side and a high refractive index film which is disposed under the low refractive index film in contact therewith, wherein the high refractive index film is formed as a discontinuous layer in the planar direction. If the high refractive index film is formed as a discontinuous layer, the high refractive index film can enter into the low refractive index film to restrain movement of the low refractive index film, and therefore an antireflection film laminate exhibiting superior antiscratching property and transparency can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 7130441
    Abstract: A weight is attached to the rear side of a magnetic circuit of a speaker unit. The tip of a boss that projects from the front side of the weight is joined to the rear side of a center pole of the magnetic circuit with a bolt. Even if reactive force that is generated when an electrical signal is converted into mechanical vibration by the magnetic circuit and a voice coil and sound waves are emitted from a vibration plate is transmitted to the magnetic circuit, the vibration of the magnetic circuit is suppressed by the weight. In this manner, sound quality with a good transient characteristic can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 7062054
    Abstract: A speaker device has a pair of speaker units each including a magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuits are opposed and connected to each other by a binding member. Vibrations generated by the speaker units are canceled to each other so that the occurrence of unnecessary vibrations can be suppressed and the transient characteristic can be improved. Acoustic load members are arranged in the front portions of frames so that the resonance frequency can be lowered and a band of reproducing sound of low frequency can be expanded.

  • Patent number: 6944311
    Abstract: A speaker for vehicle has a weight mounted on the backside of a magnetic circuit of a speaker unit. The weight includes a weighting part having a shape in which the thickness in an axial line of the speaker unit is made small and the diameter in a direction perpendicular to the axial line is extended. The outer diameter of the weighting part is made longer than that of the magnetic circuit. The weighting part has a peripheral edge extending forward in the axial direction to cover the outer periphery of the magnetic circuit at least partially. Where a frame of the speaker unit is provided with an opening, the weight is designed to have a shape and position so as not to face the opening.

  • Publication number: 20050157745
    Abstract: The subject invention provides a communication management system that allots transmission rights according to requests from the communication stations. The allocation of the transmission rights is carried out within a specified predefined period. The system re-allots transmission rights to at least a part of the communication stations at a time point where all communication stations, that have been provided with transmission rights, consume their transmission right grant periods, or complete their transmission within the transmission right grant periods. With this arrangement, it is possible to securely prevent waste of the communication band, realizing effective use of the communication band. Further, the transmission station in a tolerable communication condition can be immune to bad influence from the transmission station in a bad condition.

  • Publication number: 20050129265
    Abstract: An exciter for directly vibrating a board treated for dustproofing and heat dissipation, provided with a vibrator comprised of an outer yoke, a permanent magnet, and inner yoke, having a coil fixed inserted between the outer yoke and inner yoke, and having a coupler member for coupling the exciter to the surface of the board. The coupler member and vibrator are connected by an elastic member. A closed space is formed in the exciter by providing a sealing member between the outer yoke and coupler member. A through hole is formed in the outer yoke. Due to the vibration-of the vibrator at the time of coil excitation, air convection is caused through the through hole between the closed space and the outside space.

  • Patent number: 6896097
    Abstract: A speaker box is covered with a buffer material exclusive of a portion where an acoustic output is derived from a speaker unit. The speaker box covered with the buffer material is attached to the surface of a wall member such as an interior member of a vehicle body or a side plate outside the vehicle body in a manner the speaker box is pressed by a holding member, which is a part of the interior member or designed member, and secured by bolts. Even when the surface of the speaker box is vibrated, the buffer material prevents an acoustic output due to the vibration from being generated so that no unnecessary acoustic signal is generated.
