  • Patent number: 8345897
    Abstract: There is provided: first to fourth magnetic pole yokes 13-16 magnetized by the magnets 11, 12 having both poles on these opposite faces to establish a magnetic pole; and a vibrating membrane 17 disposed between the magnets 11, 12 and electromagnetically coupled to the yokes 13-16 by energizing a meandering coil pattern 17b thereon to vibrate in a predetermined direction. The yokes 13-16 include: abutting sections 13a-16a to be magnetized with abutting against the magnets 11, 12, and magnetic pole sections 13b-16b establishing the magnetic pole in a band shape. The sections 13b-16b each are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the vibrating membrane 17, and disposed with a gap (sound emitting hole 19) such that the magnetic poles different in magnetic polarity are positioned alternately in the lateral direction of the membrane 17 to form magnetic pole faces on the upper and lower sides thereof.

  • Patent number: 7424118
    Abstract: A moving object 1 equipped with ultra-directional speaker is provided with an emitter 44 for measuring a distance to a target 11 to which it is to provide a voice by using an ultrasonic transmit sensor 45 and an ultrasonic receive sensor 46 thereof, and for emitting an output signal having a predetermined sound level which is adjusted by an amplifier 34 with sound level adjusting function. The moving object 1 can thus transmit a voice having an optimal volume only to the specific target through parametric action.
