Title: Improvements in or relating to diaphragms for acoustic devices
IPC: H04R7/12
Filed: 1932-11-15
Abstract: 410,778. Diaphragms. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd., Blyth Road, Hayes, Middlesex, and DUTTON, G. F., 57, Redcliffe Road, South Kensington, London. Nov. 15, 1932, No. 32324. [Class 40 (iv).] A large acoustic diaphragm formed wholly or partly of a material having a higher ratio of Young's modulus to density than paper is provided with corrugations disposed in paths curved around the driving point or zone and merging into one another over at least a part of the surface of said material, the ratio of the pitch of the corrugations to the depth thereof being greater than 5 to 1. Fig. 1 shows a diaphragm 1 formed from a circular sheet of aluminium into a conical frustum having an apex angle of about 105‹, the radial edges 2, 3 being joined by a vinyl acetate polymer softened by heat. The frustum is then placed in a press and corrugated, the corrugations extending about two thirds of the distance from the periphery to the spigot 4. This spigot, which is adapted to have a coil former secured thereto by cellulose cement, is formed by a drawing process which puts the metal of the spigot into circumferential compression and the metal in the zone immediately adjoining the spigot into circumferential tension. The periphery of the diaphragm is mounted in an aperture in a box or baffle by means of a ring of velvet attached to the diaphragm by plasticised vinyl acetate polymer with which the ring itself may be impregnated. In order to damp circumferential vibrations, the diaphragm may be provided with a plurality of radial joints spaced at equal intervals and incorporating a damping substance such as a plasticised vinyl acetate polymer Figs. 2, 3 and 4, not shown). Modified methods described for forming the diaphragm consist of (a) spinning a conical blank from a sheet of a thickness equal to the maximum thickness of the finished diaphragm, the radially outer portion being drawn thinner by the spinning operation or (b) forming the conical blank from a flat sheet by a series of drawing operations interspersed with annealing operations. The inner one-third of the cone surface may be provided with a little more than one shallow corrugation. If desired, the pitch of the corrugations may become progressively smaller from the centre outwards and their depth increase progressively in the same direction. According to a further modification (Fig. 6, not shown), the diaphragm is formed with an inner portion of aluminium and an outer portion of paper, the inner portion being corrugated from its joint with the outer portion to about the mid point between the joint and the spigot. Various forms of resistance joint between the portions are described, plasticised vinyl acetate polymer being used as the adhesive and the joint being reinforced, if desired, e.g. by sewing with thread. According to the Provisional Specification, the base of the conical frustum may be inclined at an acute angle to the axis and the corrugations may be eccentric. A construction of flat corrugated diaphragm is also described.

Patent GB-1468245-A (GB)
Title: Data transmission system
IPC: H03H7/01
Filed: 1974-07-23
Abstract: 1468245 Data transmission systems SIEMENS AG 23 July 1974 [24 Sept 1973] 32432/74 Heading H4P In a data transmission system for transmitting data over a transmission link ST, Fig. 5, in the form of signals B 1 composed of relatively wide and narrow pulses, Fig. 2 the signals B1 are applied to a preliminary distorting device VZ which from the wide pulses produces predistorted pulses B7, B8 of the wide pulse width which have at least in the region of their trailing edges an amplitude which is less than that of the narrow pulses B3 and the narrow pulses B3 and the predistorted pulses B7, B8 are combined to form predistorted signals which are transmitted over the transmission link ST. As shown the transmitter SE1 has a coder COD which produces either a signal B1 or a signal B2 at its output. The predistorted signals B11, B12 produced in the preliminary distorting device VZ are connected via a link ST to a receiver (EM, Fig. 4, not shown) which decodes the received signal and feeds a teleprinter (DS). The low pass filter characteristic of the link ST causes the edges of the pulses B3, B7, B8 to be received as pulses (B5, B9, B10, Fig. 3, not shown) having sloping edges. However by predistorting the wider pulses B4 as described above the zero transitions (P4, P7) of the pulses transmitted via the link ST are delayed by approximately the same amount (a) and (c). The preliminary distorting device VZ can comprise a discriminator D1S1, Fig. 6, in the form of a NAND gate for producing a discriminator signal which indicates when a wide pulse is present. The discriminator signal is applied to a multiplier MU which produces the predistorted signals by multiplying the pulse amplitudes of the signals B1 representing the data A by a factor less than one or by a factor of one where the undistorted signals of the narrow pulses B3 are required. In a modified discriminator (Fig. 8, not shown) first and second stages (6, 7) of a shift register feed exclusive OR gates (8 and 9) the outputs from which feed an AND gate which provides the output of the discriminator. A transistor amplifier (Fig. 10 not shown) can be used on the multiplier MU the amplification factor of which is controlled in dependence on the discriminator D1S signal. A further form of preliminary distorting device VZ is disclosed (Fig. 11, not shown) where the signals B1, B2 representing the data are applied to a delay element (SCH) and the predistorted signals are obtained by sumi ming in a summing device (SU) the delayed signals and the signals representing the data.
