  • Publication number: 20140241558
    Abstract: An apparatus including at least two speakers and at least one controller. Each speaker includes at least one vibrating element, and one or more display elements. The vibrating elements are configured to at least partially move the one or more display elements to generate sound waves from the one or more display elements. The at least one controller is connected to the vibrating elements of the at least two speakers and the one or more display elements. The at least one controller is configured to control display of at least one image on the one or more display elements, and/or control driving of the vibrating elements to generate sounds from at least one of the at least two speakers.

  • Publication number: 20140238737
    Abstract: An audio transducer apparatus including a component having a first material; and a heating reduction system configured to reduce induced heating in the component. The heating reduction system includes a member at least partially surrounding the component. The member includes a material which has an electrical conductivity that is higher than an electrical conductivity of the first material to thereby reduce induced heating in the component.
