Patent number: 9306148Abstract: In an electro-acoustic transducer 100 which is an oscillator device, center positions of principal surfaces of piezoelectric elements 130 that are positioned on both surfaces of an elastic member 120 are different from each other. As such, since the two piezoelectric elements 130 are disposed asymmetrically on the upper and lower sides in the electro-acoustic transducer 100, it is possible to prevent vibrations of reversed phases at the time of divided vibration in which the reversed phases overlap with each other. In other words, since it is possible to prevent the generation of sound waves due to the vibration of local reversed phases, the sound pressure level can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuharu Onishi, Yuichiro Kishinami, Shigeo Satou, Jun Kuroda, Yukio Murata, Motoyoshi Komoda, Nobuhiro Kawashima, Tatsuya Uchikawa

Patent number: 9307324Abstract: A plurality of magnetostrictive elements made of ferrite or the like are arranged in a matrix on an upper surface of a circuit board. On the periphery of each of the magnetostrictive elements, a voice coil is arranged. When current flows to the voice coils, the magnetostrictive elements themselves expand and contract in their center axis direction (height direction), and whereby ultrasonic waves (carrier waves) are emitted into the air from the magnetostrictive elements themselves. Since the magnetostrictive elements made of ferrite or the like are used, power consumption can be reduced, compared with the case of using piezoelectric vibrators. Also, the magnetostrictive elements can be made resistant to damage even if subjected to an impact due to falling or the like. Accordingly, in a parametric speaker using ultrasonic waves as carrier waves, power consumption can be reduced and vibrating elements can be made resistant to impact damage.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2012Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuharu Onishi, Jun Kuroda, Shigeo Satou, Motoyoshi Komoda
