  • Publication number: 20090233729
    Abstract: A vibration reducing golf club includes a club main structure and a plurality of piezoelectric materials. The club main structure includes a club shaft and a ball head and can sustain the mechanical energy resulting from the swing of the club shaft and the collision between the ball head and a golf ball and consequently produces vibration and bending deformation. The piezoelectric materials are connected with conductive wires and adhered to the club shaft. When the club shaft undergoes mechanical deformation, the piezoelectric materials can transform the energy of mechanical deformation into electrical energy, thereby producing a voltage output and then feeding the voltage back to another piezoelectric material, so as to produce a deformation against the vibration direction of the club shaft. Thus, the vibration energy of the club shaft can be consumed. Therefore, the vibration reducing performance can be obtained by reducing the vibration of the club shaft.

  • Publication number: 20090161899
    Abstract: A garment with a speaker function is provided. The garment includes a garment body, a bag, and an electret speaker. The bag disposed on the garment body includes a sound-absorbing layer. The electret speaker, disposed in the bag, gives off sounds to a first direction and a second direction at the same time. The sound-absorbing layer absorbs the sound of the second direction. Therefore, the present invention not only provides convenience to the user, but also enhances the acoustic quality of the electret speaker.

  • Patent number: 5687248
    Abstract: A magnetic circuit applied for loudspeakers includes a cup-shaped yoke, a primary magnet, a surrounding top plate, a first central top plate, and a thin magnet. The cup-shaped yoke includes a bottom part and a ring part. The primary magnet is located within the bottom part of the yoke and serves as a magnetic field source. The surrounding top plate and the first central top plate are respectively located on the ring part of the yoke and the primary magnet. A air gap between the surrounding top plate and the first central top plate is formed and used for accommodating a voice coil, which may actuate a diaphragm to emit sound. The thin magnet is located on the first central top plate and repels the primary magnet magnetically. Therefore, the magnetic leakage above the air gap can be strongly reduced. In addition, an additional second central top plate is mounted on the thin magnet and may serve as magnetic shielding.
