Thilo-J. Werners has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20140098984
    Abstract: A loudspeaker designed with a large area having sandwich-like layer structure includes a plurality of conductive and nonconductive layers which form an active sound-radiating loudspeaker surface. The plurality of conductive and nonconductive layers include a first diaphragm sheet coated with an electrically conductive layer, a second diaphragm sheet coated with an electrically conductive layer, a static high-voltage supply, which generates an electric field between the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer, and an audio source which influences the high-voltage fields between the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer via a capacitor. The invention is distinguished in that, with the second electrically conductively coated diaphragm sheet, the first electrically conductively coated diaphragm sheet forms a sandwich which extends simply over the active loudspeaker surface, around a first elastic and nonconductive interlayer.
