    Abstract: Audio device transducers are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the audio device transducer comprises a coil, first and second terminals each disposed adjacent a first side of the coil, and first and second conductors each electrically coupled to the coil. The first conductor extends from the first end of the coil to the first terminal, and the second end extends from a second end of the coil to the second terminal. The second conductor includes a first conductive pathway and a second conductive pathway spaced apart from the first conductive pathway such that the coil is disposed between the first conductive pathway and the second conductive pathway. In some embodiments, the first conductive pathway is symmetric to the second conductive pathway about an axis extending through the coil.

    Abstract: An ambient sound controlled assembly includes a pair of earmuffs is wearable on a user's head for covering each of the user's ears. Each of the earmuffs is comprised of an acoustically insulating material thereby inhibiting ambient sound from reaching the user's ears when the earmuffs are worn to protect the user's hearing. An audio unit is integrated into the earmuffs and the audio unit has sound detecting capabilities thereby facilitating the audio unit to detect the ambient sound. The audio has sound emitting capabilities for emitting the ambient sound at an adjustable volume. In this way the user can hear the ambient sound in real time at a volume of the user's choosing thereby enhancing comfort for the user in a loud environment.

    Abstract: The display device is provided which includes a signal processing unit that processes an image signal and a sound signal, a plate-like panel unit that displays an image according to the image signal, and a vibration unit that is deployed on the rear face side of the panel unit and causes the panel unit to vibrate in response to the sound signal. The vibration unit includes a plurality of vibrators, and the signal processing unit outputs the sound signal not only to a sound output vibrator that is a vibrator of an output target of the sound signal from among the plurality of vibrators but also to a dispersion sound output vibrator that is a vibrator of a dispersion target of the sound signal. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a television receiver.
