  • Patent number: 9100740
    Abstract: An innovative magnetic design for speakers is disclosed. The innovative magnetic design of the present invention comprises an upper magnetic portion, a lower magnetic portion, at least one magnetic piece and two or more magnets. Either the upper magnetic portion or the lower magnetic portion has the form of a plate. A magnet is disposed between the upper magnetic portion and the magnetic piece, and another magnet is disposed between the lower magnetic portion and the magnetic piece. When an AC current flows through the voice coil, a magnetic force induced by the current would move the voice coil and diaphragm longitudinally, thereby generating audible sounds. In addition, we only have to increase the length of magnets 4 to increase their volume so as to increase the magnetic force and hence offset the decrease in the magnetic force due to a thinner configuration.

  • Publication number: 20150036865
    Abstract: An electrical signal to audio signal transducer with a deformable diaphragm unit includes a connective portion and a deformable diaphragm unit. The connective portion connects the deformable diaphragm unit with a wall of a box. The deformable diaphragm unit is linked up with a through opening of the connective portion to form a passage. Push and pull exerted on the deformable diaphragm unit by the magnetic force induced by the current flows through the voice coil can cause deformable diaphragm unit to deform and move in a reciprocating manner and thus generate audible sounds. Therefore, with the transducer of the present invention, poor performance due to the dimensional constrain may be overcome.

  • Publication number: 20090178642
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a heat energy recycling device for an engine and a two-stroke engine using the same, which recycles the heat energy of the exhaust gas of a two-stroke engine and uses a technology of directly injecting high-pressure and high-temperature water into the cylinder. At an appropriate timing, fuel supply is intermitted, and high-pressure and high-temperature water is injected into the cylinder before or at the beginning of the explosion stroke. The high-pressure and high-temperature water vaporizes instantly inside the cylinder because the saturation temperature at the pressure is much lower than the temperature of the water. The water vapor pushes the piston to move and generates a water dynamic stroke. During the water dynamic stroke, the gas inside the cylinder expands, and the temperature thereof decreases. Thus, the gas inside the cylinder has a temperature lower than that of the cylinder and absorbs heat from the cylinder wall.
