  • SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD USING MEASUREMENT OF ACOUSTIC FIELD VARIATION
    Publication number: 20110141283
    Abstract: A security system and a method of determining whether there is an intrusion are provided. A correlation between sound signals obtained from a sound source generating device and a sound-field variation measuring device is used to measure a acoustic field in a certain space. A difference between an initially set acoustic field and a changed acoustic field is used to determine whether there is an intruding object in a certain space. The security system includes a sound source generating device for generating a sound source; and a sound-field variation measuring device for measuring a acoustic field formed by the sound source, wherein an initially set acoustic field is compared with the measured acoustic field to determine whether there is an intrusion.

  • FOLDING-TYPE DIRECTIONAL SPEAKER ARRAY MODULE
    Publication number: 20110142266
    Abstract: In a folding-type directional speaker array module, when sound is output, the directionality of a high frequency band can be obtained through a center speaker module and the directionality of a low frequency band can be obtained through side speaker modules unfolded from both sides of the center speaker module. Accordingly, the speaker array module has excellent directionality in an entire frequency band. Furthermore, the folding-type directional speaker array module has high mobility and portability because the side speaker modules are folded and stored when the folding-type directional speaker array module is not used.

  • PIEZOELECTRIC SPEAKER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110135123
    Abstract: In a piezoelectric speaker, an acoustic diaphragm is thicker than a piezoelectric thin film and is formed of a more flexible and higher elasticity material than the piezoelectric thin film, thereby greatly improving output sound pressure in a low frequency band and reducing sound distortion. Further, the piezoelectric thin film is attached to the acoustic diaphragm in an inclined structure in which the piezoelectric thin film is horizontally turned from the acoustic diaphragm, thereby preventing a standing wave from being created by structural symmetry and minimizing sound distortion.
