Abstract: There is provided a diaphragm or a dust cap configured to emit a sound wave and an electrodynamic speaker unit including the diaphragm or the dust cap. The speaker unit is configured so that a great peak dip of sound pressure frequency characteristics due to influence of a divided vibration mode can be prevented and excellent reproduced sound quality can be provided. In the diaphragm or the dust cap, a recessed-raised portion imitating a wing of an insect is formed at least on one surface of a diaphragm portion configured to emit a sound wave. Preferably, the recessed-raised portion is formed based on data obtained by measurement of an actual shape of a wing vein of the insect or data of a Voronoi diagram imitating the wing vein of the insect.

Abstract: A pulse-width modulation circuit converts an input signal into a pulse signal to be supplied to a switch amplifying circuit. The modulation circuit includes a comparison signal generator, an amplitude controller for modulating a comparison signal from the signal generator, and a comparator for comparing the modulated comparison signal and the input signal. The comparator outputs a signal whose level is inverted in accordance with the level of the input signal. The signal outputted from the comparator is supplied to the switch amplifying circuit.

Abstract: A heatsink arrangement attached to a semiconductor device includes: a first heatsink placed in close contact with the semiconductor device; and second heatsink placed in close contact with the first heatsink, wherein the first heatsink and the second heatsink are connected to a power supply circuit for the semiconductor device via first connector and second connector, respectively. Thus, the present invention provides a heatsink arrangement for a semiconductor device used in an electric/electronic circuit that radiates less high-frequency noise even when a large current flows through the semiconductor device and that provides a high heat-radiating efficiency.

Abstract: Surround-effect, providing no unnatural feeling to the listeners who sit next to each other under side-by-side basis through virtual sound sources, is realized. A surround left channel signal SL and a surround right channel signal SR are mixed with an adder 10 and are in monaural. A first monophonic signal and a second monophonic signal thus resulted are supplied to a virtual localization processor 12. A first virtual localization output of the processor 12 is supplied to a front left speaker SPL and a front right speaker SPR and a second virtual localization output thereof is supplied to a front center speaker SPC. In this way, virtual sound sources can be created at the right and the left to the listener 2. Similarly, virtual sound sources can also be created at the right and the left to the listener 3. Sound fields from the virtual surround sources are in reverse to the listener 2 and the listener 3.
