Abstract: An apparatus includes a first transducer configured to be in mechanical communication with a first location of a recipient's body and configured to generate and transmit first auditory vibrations to a first ear region of the recipient and a second transducer configured to be in mechanical communication with a second location spaced from the first location and configured to generate and transmit second auditory vibrations to a second ear region of the recipient. The apparatus further includes at least one processor configured to receive input signals indicative of audio data and configured to, in response to the input signals, generate and transmit first control signals to the first auditory transducer and second control signals to the second auditory transducer.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a bobbin, at least one counterweight assembly, and at least one spring. The bobbin includes at least one core and at least one electrically conductive coil wound around at least a portion of the bobbin. The at least one counterweight assembly is configured to move in response to magnetic fields generated by the bobbin. The at least one spring is in mechanical communication with the at least one counterweight assembly. The at least one spring is configured to resiliently deform in response to movement of the at least one counterweight assembly. The at least one spring includes at least one piezoelectric element.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for inductive charging of an electronic device comprising an electromagnetic transducer with an integrated transducer coil. In accordance with embodiments presented herein, the electronic device is configured to use the coil to generate vibration signals and to receive inductive charging signals during inductive charging.
