  • Patent number: 6804367
    Abstract: A speaker apparatus in which the acoustic sound is radiated by flexural oscillations of a diaphragm in the form of a panel having a substantially flat surface. The speaker apparatus includes a panel-shaped diaphragm the outer rim of which can be oscillated substantially freely at least in the direction along the diaphragm thickness and at least one driver unit constituting an oscillation source secured to the diaphragm surface for imparting oscillations to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is set into flexural oscillations by oscillations applied from the driver unit driven on the basis of the playback input signal. By flexurally oscillating the diaphragm to radiate the acoustic sound, optimum frequency response characteristics can be obtained over a wide frequency range from the low to high frequency range. Moreover, the acoustic sound of optimum sound quality may be radiated in a state of minimum sound pressure level fluctuations over a frequency range from the low to high frequency range.

  • Patent number: 5541909
    Abstract: A masking type light control layer for decreasing its reflection factor in a high-temperature region is formed on phase pits of an optical disc, and the phase pit depth is set to a predetermined value. A light spot for reproduction is shaped to an elliptical form and two sub-flux beams on the optical disc are spaced by 5/4 track pitch from a principal flux beam in the radial direction of the optical disc. The kind of optical disc is discriminated and reproduction laser power and characteristics of an equalizer circuit are switched in accordance with the type of an optical disc. Through this, a stable servo signal detection can be ensured and repetitive reproduction characteristics can be improved.

  • Patent number: 5471538
    Abstract: A microphone apparatus having a first microphone for picking up a desired sound and a second microphone with directionality in which sensitivity is low to the desired sound arrival direction. A sound signal from the second microphone is supplied to a subtracting circuit through an adaptive filter. The subtracting circuit subtracts an output signal of the adaptive filter from the sound signal coming from the first microphone. A circuit is provided to adjust the adaptive filter so that the output power of the subtracting circuit is minimized. The setup implements a microphone system which is compact in size and easily provides desired directionality.

  • Patent number: 5428455
    Abstract: An apparatus for reducing noise in the high-frequency band is provided in the preceding stage of a limiter (8) with a high-frequency band correcting filter (12) for reducing a high-frequency band component of a reproduced RF signal from an optical disc. The reproduced RF signal has its high-frequency component lowered before entered into the limiter (18), reducing noise and beat components. As a result, a signal which is less influenced by the noise and beat and has good S/N can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 5138664
    Abstract: This invention is concerned with a device for reducing the external noise reaching the ear in extremely noisy places such as in the vehicle or construction sites. According to the present invention, the external noise in picked up by a microphone provided in the vicinity of an electro-acoustic transducer element, such as a headphone unit, provided in the vicinity of the wearer's ear, and the noise signal converted in this manner into electrical signals is produced as the acoustic signal by the electro-acoustic transducer element. The transfer characteristics and controlled in such a manner that the produced noise signal prove to be an acoustic signal which is of the same frequency spectrum and opposite in phase with respect to the external noise reaching the wearer's acoustic meatus from outside to reduce the external noise reaching the acoustic meatus.
