Abstract: Disclosed herein is a linear vibration motor. The motor includes a casing surrounding the top and widthwise side of the motor, and a bracket surrounding the bottom and lengthwise side of the motor. A plate is provided on an inner surface of a side of the bracket and integrally has a cylindrical part to accommodate a coil. A mass body is provided in a central portion of the bracket and vibrates horizontally, a yoke is provided on a side surface of the mass body, and a magnet is mounted to a central portion of the yoke to be inserted into an internal space of the coil. A spring couples the plate with the yoke, thus transmitting vibratory force to the motor. An extension part extends from an end of the spring, and a bearing is provided on an end of the extension part, thus minimizing friction with the casing.

Abstract: A linear vibrator is disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the linear vibrator includes a base, a coil unit, which is coupled to the base, a magnet, which is coupled to the coil unit such that the magnet can move relatively with respect to the coil unit, and a leaf spring, which is interposed between the magnet and the base and includes a plurality of plate-shaped members having center portions thereof being separated from one another and both respective ends thereof being coupled to one another. Thus, the linear vibrator can increase the range of displacement in the leaf spring and increase the magnitude of vibration in the linear vibrator.

Abstract: A vibration-sound generating device and yoke thereof are described. The vibration-sound generating device comprises a diaphragm, a vibration part comprising a magnet and a yoke, which is positioned apart from the diaphragm by a desired distance, a suspension elastically supporting the vibration part, a supporting part supporting the diaphragm and the suspension, and a voice coil electromagnetically driving the diaphragm and the vibration part. The yoke of the invention has higher specific gravity and magnetic permeability than iron. So that it can improve performance of vibration and sound device.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for calculating source image coordinates. In an embodiment, a variation rate of the source image coordinate with respect to a converted image coordinate is calculated by a recursive computation, and variation rates are accumulated to obtain the source image coordinate. Because the converted image coordinate sequentially increases one-by-one, the variation rate may be obtained by using adding operations of previously obtained source image coordinate, rather than multiplying operations with the all of the converted image coordinates. Therefore, the source image coordinates may simply and effectively be calculated.
