  • Patent number: 7590252
    Abstract: The outer face of a case which accommodates a whole microphone is coated by a material having a heat conductivity which is lower than that of a metal, and a material transforming temperature which is higher than the charge dissipating temperature of a dielectric layer for forming an internal electret, and which is higher than 260° C., so that the internal temperature rise can be mitigated by the thermal resistance and the thermal capacity of the whole interior. When a microphone is attached to an application equipment, particularly, the microphone may be passed through a reflow solder bath for a short time period. A heat-resistant structure which can prevent the function from being impaired by a high temperature in the period is provided.

  • Patent number: 6449370
    Abstract: A digital electro-acoustic transducer for improving the speech quality of sound under noisy circumstances is disclosed. A plurality of sound generating units A constituted by electrostatic electro-acoustic transducers (condenser earphones) and a sound receiving unit B constituted by an electrostatic acousto-electric transducer (condenser microphone) are disposed in a cavity of a soundproof housing. The units A are provided in a feedback loop and an output level of the unit B is adjusted by an preamplifier. An output of the preamplifier is sampled by a sample-and-hold circuit and an output thereof is delta-modulated by a delta modulation circuit. The number of pulses produced by the circuit is subjected to arithmetic operation in an arithmetic circuit to produce a drive signal for the units A. Vibration of a vibration film of the unit B is detected and arithmetical control is made to be always maintained to zero.

  • Patent number: 6125189
    Abstract: A digital type electroacoustic transducer converts between a digital electric signal and an analog acoustic signal and includes units A (sounding bodies) arranged on the same plane as that of units B (sound receiving sensors), with the number of group units being decided at a ratio corresponding to a digit position of each bit of the digital signal. When the bit exists, a power source for electrode driving and the group unit are connected, and both of an electric/acoustic conversion and a digital/analog conversion are simultaneously executed through the unit A. The units B provide an addition value of all outputs of the units A. After a level of the detection acoustic signal is adjusted by a preamplifier, the signal is delta modulated and supplied to an arithmetic operating circuit. When a digital electric signal which is input does not exist, only the acoustic signal which arrives at the diaphragm surface of the unit B is input to the arithmetic operating circuit.
