  • Patent number: 8818006
    Abstract: A loudspeaker system includes an enclosure surrounding a plurality of loudspeakers. The plurality of loudspeakers are disposed in series along a straight line in the enclosure. The enclosure includes a front panel, a back panel and side panels. The front panel, the side panels, and the back panel are disposed parallel to the straight line on which the loudspeakers are arranged. The side panels are provided with a front slit and a back slit. The back slit is disposed at an opposite side of the front slit in the enclosure. Sounds emitted to the upper and lower sides of diaphragms of the loudspeakers are separated from each other such that the sounds are prevented from mixing with each other. This provides a loudspeaker system capable of achieving desired sound pressure-frequency characteristics.

  • Patent number: 7527516
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes an electronic component, a spring terminal extending from the electronic component to supply power to the electronic component, a circuit component having a power supply section contacting the spring terminal, and a stopper for restricting a movement of the electronic component. The spring terminal has a reversible deformation limit of elastic deformation. The stopper restricts the movement of the electronic component within the reversible deformation limit of the spring terminal. This portable electronic device prevents a spring pressure of the spring terminal from decreasing, hence supplying power to the electronic component stably.

  • Patent number: 5648035
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polyester film having a surface layer whose major component is polyester A. Protrusions are formed on the film surface originating from the crystallization of polyester A. The number of protrusions formed on the surface of the film is not less than 5.times.10.sup.3 /mm.sup.2, and the ratio N.sub.R of the number of protrusions to the number of particles contained in a surface layer forming the surface of the film is not less than 5. Since most of or the whole of the protrusions are formed by utilizing the crystallization of polyester A without relying particles, generation of voids can be prevented and fine and uniform protrusions having excellent chipping resistance and scratch resistance can be formed.
