MOVEABLE ELEMENT FOR A TRANSDUCER, TRANSDUCER, IN-EAR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE OCCURRENCE OF A CONDITION IN A TRANSDUCER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022858 titled 'MOVEABLE ELEMENT FOR A TRANSDUCER, TRANSDUCER, IN-EAR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE OCCURRENCE OF A CONDITION IN A TRANSDUCER

Simplified Explanation

The invention is related to a moveable element for a transducer, which can be indirectly or directly moved by a driving means of the transducer. This moveable element is designed to output acoustic energy or move an outputting means that outputs the acoustic energy, and it includes at least one sensor for sensing a parameter of the moveable element or the volume defined by the transducer's housing. The patent also covers a transducer that incorporates this moveable element and an in-ear device that includes such a transducer. Additionally, the patent describes a method for determining the occurrence of a condition in the transducer.

  • The moveable element of the transducer can be moved by a driving means.
  • The moveable element can output acoustic energy or move an outputting means for acoustic energy.
  • The moveable element includes at least one sensor for sensing a parameter of the moveable element or the volume defined by the transducer's housing.
  • The patent covers a transducer that incorporates this moveable element.
  • The patent also covers an in-ear device that includes such a transducer.
  • The patent describes a method for determining the occurrence of a condition in the transducer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Audio devices such as headphones, earphones, or speakers that require accurate and efficient acoustic energy output.
  • Medical devices that utilize transducers for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, such as ultrasound machines or hearing aids.
  • Industrial equipment that relies on transducers for various applications, such as non-destructive testing or material processing.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and efficiency in the output of acoustic energy.
  • Enhanced sensing capabilities for monitoring the moveable element or the volume defined by the transducer's housing.
  • Better control and performance of transducers in various applications.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Higher quality sound reproduction in audio devices.
  • Improved diagnostic capabilities in medical devices.
  • Increased productivity and reliability in industrial equipment.
  • Enhanced user experience and comfort in in-ear devices.


Original Abstract Submitted
