  • Patent number: 10951977
    Abstract: A speaker includes a main-cone and a sub-cone. Linear thin portions configured to reduce a plate thickness of the sub-cone are formed on a region containing at least any one of an outer side and an inner side of the sub-cone. Each of the linear thin portions has both of a component in a radial direction and a component in a circumferential direction of the sub-cone. First and second linear thin portions cross each other at an intersection. With this configuration, stiffness of the whole sub-cone is reduced to enhance a divided vibration of the sub-cone. In particular, a vibrational displacement of an outer peripheral portion of the sub-cone, from which a sound is mainly radiated, is increased.

  • Patent number: 8583717
    Abstract: A signal processing circuit has two types of filters: an IIR filter 11 and an FIR filter 12 having an equivalent transfer function at all times. In an adjustment mode in which the signal processing circuit is adjusted to have an arbitrary transfer function, the signal processing circuit makes a configuration setting to use the IIR filter 11. When completing the adjustment or in a signal processing mode, the signal processing circuit makes a configuration setting change to switch to the FIR filter 12 having the equivalent transfer function.

  • Patent number: 8442177
    Abstract: A signal receiving apparatus 2 has a memory circuit 22, writing of data contained in a digital input signal transmitted from a signal transmitting apparatus 1 is performed using a clock signal separated and created by a PLL circuit 21 from the digital input signal received, and reading is performed using a reference clock signal with quartz accuracy from a reference clock generating circuit 24. To reproduce the digital input signal by correcting the shift between the clock signal and the reference clock signal, the signal receiving apparatus detects the shift between the two clock signals. When the signal receiving apparatus 2 side lags behind the signal transmitting apparatus 1, the data contained in the digital input signal undergoes thinning out, and when it leads, a signal generated from previous and subsequent digital input signal is interpolated.
