Chacun des générateurs BPA comprend un registre à décalage à rebouclage linéaire (LSFR) rechargeable ou son équivalent, un compteur chargeable pointant sur l'état du générateur en question, et un dispositif de commande de rotation pouvant recevoir un ordre de rotation et commander le registre et le compteur de pointage pour faire avancer ou reculer d'une certaine valeur de déplacement. L'augmentation de vitesse est effectuée par la commande DSP. Une table des états LFSR et des numéros d'index correspondants sont conservés en mémoire. Ces états LFSR permettent de subdiviser le nombre possible total d'états possibles. Il convient d'espacer uniformément les états mémorisés autour du cercle BPA. La rotation rapide est rendue possible par le circuit DSP, en deux temps. Dans un premier temps, le générateur BPA est chargé de telle sort qu'il passe directement à l'état le plus proche au moyen de la table. Dans un second temps, la commande de rotation du générateur BPA intervient pour assurer le restant de la rotation.

Abstract: A mechanical-to-acoustical transducer (10) has at least one actuator (12), preferably a piezo motor, that is coupled, generally perpendicularly, to one edge of a diaphragm (14) formed from a thin, flexible sheet material. The diaphragm (14) is fixed at a point spaced from the actuator (12) in the direction of its motion so that excursion of the actuator (12) is translated into a corresponding, mechanically-amplified, excursion of the diaphragm (14) -typically amplified five to seven times. The diaphragm (14) is curved, preferably parabolically, and to a small degree. The diaphragm (14), if optically clear, can be mounted on a frame (50) over a video display screen to provide a screen speaker. The actuators (12) are secured at one end to the frame (50) and at a free, movable end, to an edge of the diaphragm (14), generally at right angles. A gasket (35") seals the edges of the diaphragm (14) to maintain an acoustic pressure gradient across the diaphragm (14).
