    Abstract: A system that includes a direct digital speaker volume control device configured to be coupled to a direct digital speaker. The direct digital speaker include many pressure producing elements being adapted to generate a sound at a sound pressure level (SPL) and at a given frequency in response to an input signal, without using digital to analog converter. The direct digital speaker inherently exhibits a frequency response throughout its entire frequency range. The direct digital speaker volume control device includes a module for providing few filters each having a distinct cutoff frequency such that each filter exhibits no attenuation below its cutoff frequency and an attenuation response above the filter's cutoff frequency. And a selector for selecting one of the filters according to a selection criterion that depends on a desired volume and frequency of generated sound, and applying the filter to the input signal for generating a filtered signal that fed to the speaker.

    Abstract: Actuator apparatus for generating a physical effect, at least one attribute of which corresponds to at least one characteristic of a digital input signal sampled periodically in accordance with a clock, the apparatus comprising at least one array of moving elements each constrained to travel alternately back and forth along a respective axis in response to an alternating electromagnetic force applied to the array of moving elements, at least one latch operative to selectively latch at least one subset of said moving elements in at least one latching position thereby to prevent the individual moving elements from responding to the electromagnetic force, an electromagnetic field control system operative to receive the clock and, accordingly, to control application of the electromagnetic force to the array of moving elements, and a latch controller operative to receive the digital input signal and to control the latch accordingly.

    Abstract: An actuator array for generating sound, the actuator array comprising at least one actuator device, the at least one actuator device including:
    (a) a first latching electrode (4010) and, optionally, a second latching electrode (4050);
    (b) a flexure (4030) interposed between the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050), the flexure (4030) comprising one or more flexible elements peripheral to and integrally formed with a central portion, the central portion being configured to travel back and forth along a respective axis towards the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050) in response to an electrostatic force generable by applying a voltage between the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050) and the flexure (4030);
    wherein the first and second electrodes (4010, 4050) comprise partial annular openings facing the peripheral flexible elements of the flexure (4030).
