  • Audio display playback control
    Patent number: 10048927
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising: at least one input configured to provide at least one input signal; a mode determiner configured to determine at least one mode of condition based on the at least one input signal; a controller configured to control the reproduction of at least one audio signal based on the at least one mode of condition; and at least one actuator configured to reproduce the at least one audio signal within the apparatus by vibration of a surface.

  • Transducer device and assembly
    Patent number: 8000491
    Abstract: The invention concerns a transducer device and assembly. A transducer device and assembly according to the invention comprise sheet of electrical insulator covering connection pads of a transducer component. The sheet of electrical insulator has on its surface connection pads that have galvanic contacts with the connection pads of the transducer component. Inside or on a surface of the sheet of electrical insulator there are electrical conductors connected with the connection pads of the sheet of electrical insulator. With the aid of the sheet of electrical insulator equipped with the connection pads and electrical conductors the transducer component can be mounted to a wiring board in a desired orientation, i.e. the connection pads of the transducer component do not need to be against the wiring board.

  • Method and device for reducing high frequency error components of a multi-channel modulator
    Patent number: 7382887
    Abstract: A method and device for reducing error components of a multi-channel modulator. The method comprises the steps of inverting substantially half of the channels of a modulator, and reducing error components between said inverted channels and said non inverted channels by inductive and/or capacitive summing. The method is especially suitable for synchronized pulses and similar signals to be modulated.
