Abstract: An electromechanical transducer made of a piezo-polymer film is presented. The film is transparent and is applied to a television screen, glass pane of a framed picture, or the like. The piezo-polymer film is arranged to provide a plurality of loudspeakers of a television apparatus which can be controlled by a digital audio signal.

Abstract: A Passive loudspeaker enclosure for a television receiver. Interference in the reproduced picture caused by magnetic stray fields from the enclosure occurs, in particular, with color television receivers with 33 inch picture tubes. The task is to reduce the magnetic stray fields by employing simple measures and without using additional components until the interference no longer appears in the picture. In particular, for a loudspeaker enclosure in a television receiver with a 33 inch picture tube.

Abstract: Locking apparatus wherein the locking of the form-fit structure of locking is divided into two movements with the two directions of being generally perpendicular to each other. In the first movement, the snap-in elements are pre-stressed whereby the final locking does not yet occur. It is only in the second movement in a direction approximately perpendicular to the first movement that the final locking occurs by the locking of the snap-in elements. This division of directions permits the keeping of the movement distance for connection as short as desired even in tight spatial circumstances.

Abstract: A membrane for a loudspeaker is designed so as to facilitate manufacture and to improve the tone of the loudspeaker. The membrane consists of a first plastic film (5a) which serves to retain the shape and a second plastic film (56) laminated to the first film which serves to damper partial oscillations. The membrane is particularly suitable as a conical membrane for a loudspeaker for a television receiver.

Abstract: A continuous time-of-day or date correction of a signal produced by a clock module is obtained from the data in a video-text or teletext signal that contains accurate time-of-day and/or date reference information. When the video-text/teletext data contain such reference information, the data of the output signal of the clock module are compared, on a continuous basis, with the received video-text/teletext. In case of a deviation between the clock module data and the reference information, a correction signal is applied to the clock module and corrects the clock module.

Abstract: A switching power supply includes a switching transistor coupled to a winding of a first transformer for generating a collector current. The collector current is coupled in a current path that includes that winding and a primary winding of a power transformer. The collector current is coupled to the base of the switching transistor via the first transformer such that when the switching transistor is conductive, both the collector current and a base current of the transistor are upramping. When the transistor is nonconductive, a horizontal synchronizing signal is coupled via the first transformer to synchronize the base current.

Abstract: A mechanism for mounting a loudspeaker in a front panel includes a plurality of arms having lips affixed to the front panel. A plurality of fingers are affixed to the loudspeaker. The arms and fingers resiliently engage to enable the loudspeaker to be mounted on the panel using a linear motion.

Abstract: A frame for a loudspeaker unit used, for example, in a television receiver, has provisions for optionally fastening one type of loudspeaker to the frame by a positively-locking fastening arrangement or another type of loudspeaker by screw fastening. Specifically, the frame includes both a positively-locking click-stop arrangement for snap-in fastening, and also clip elements for holding the loudspeaker during a screwing operation.
