Abstract: An optical member includes a substoichiometric titanium oxide film formed by depositing substoichiometric titanium oxides in a vacuum chamber into which an oxygen gas for adjusting a vacuum is introduced. In the optical member, the film forming pressure p (Pa) in the vacuum chamber and the optical film thickness (a refractive index of 2.50, a wavelength of 500 nm) of the substoichiometric titanium oxide film have relations of (1) p?0.005, (2) optical film thickness ?0.500?, and (3) optical film thickness ?(0.001exp(905.73p)?0.050)? where exp is an exponential function with e as the base of the natural logarithm.

Abstract: A speaker has high sound quality by reducing resonance of curved parts in a speaker damper without decreasing sound pressure and by providing high linearity characteristic. In a damper for a speaker formed by including at least two curved parts, an elastic member is provided at least on one side or on both sides of a peripheral part in a movable part of the damper or provided in the material.

Abstract: A magnetic circuit part of a loudspeaker is formed of a plate, a magnet, and a yoke. A step is disposed in the plate that comes into contact with a disc-like magnet and forms a magnetic gap. A loudspeaker is provided where the step moves a voice coil away from the leakage magnetic field of the yoke, the influence of the leakage magnetic field is eliminated even when the output is large, the distortion is small, and the sound quality is high.

Abstract: A leader line of a voice coil from a conductive wire part is drawn out from a part between a diaphragm coupling part and a part disposed in the magnetic gap toward a frame in a non-contact state with a diaphragm. One end side of the second edge made of an elastic body is coupled to a part between a drawing part of the leader line on the voice coil and a part of the voice coil disposed in the magnetic gap. The other end side of the second edge is coupled to the frame. A suspension holder is integrated with the proximity of a coupling part of the second edge to the voice coil. The suspension holder is stuck to the voice coil using an adhesive. The disturbance of the movement of the voice coil can be reduced.

Abstract: Voice coil body of a loudspeaker is provided at the outer circumferential wall surface with a supporting section. Diameter of the inner circumference of suspension holder is greater than outer diameter of the voice coil body while diameter of the inner circumference of diaphragm is greater than diameter of the inner circumference of suspension holder for facilitating a gluing of the inner circumferential end of suspension holder and the inner circumferential end of diaphragm on the supporting section and to the voice coil body. By so doing, harmonic distortion of a loudspeaker can be further reduced.

Abstract: A loudspeaker includes frame, diaphragm whose outer rim is supported by this frame, voice coil unit connected to this diaphragm, magnetic circuit where voice coil of this voice coil unit is movably disposed in its magnetic gap, and first edge member and second edge member for supporting voice coil unit by frame. Voice coil unit is supported at two points at a predetermined interval to the side of magnetic gap from a part where diaphragm is connected. First edge member and second edge member include heat-resistant connectors that allow air to pass through, and ring edges and made of a resilient material connected to these connectors. Edge of first edge member or edge of second edge member protrudes toward diaphragm and the other edge protrudes toward magnetic circuit.

Abstract: An electromechanical converter has independent electric input sections. The output of an active noise reduction controller is inputted into an electric input section and the audio signal from an audio section is inputted into an electric input section. These are mechanically combined at a vibration section and the combined signal is radiated as a sound wave into the space. With such a structure, both the active noise reduction function and the audio reproduction function are realized without installing a large device in an existing audio reproduction apparatus.

Abstract: The speaker has a frame, a magnetic circuit, a voice coil body and a diaphragm. The magnetic circuit is disposed inside of the frame to form a magnetic gap. The voice coil body is disposed movably in the magnetic gap. The diaphragm is coupled to the voice coil body by an inner periphery edge thereof and to the frame by an outer periphery edge thereof. The outer peripheral surface of a convex portion provided on a bottom of the frame is at least either being brought into contact with or in proximity to the magnetic circuit. The configuration can provide the speaker with excellent heat dissipation characteristics.
