Abstract:
A system includes an apparatus and a processor. The apparatus includes a set of actuator elements that move between two positions. Each actuator element is comprised in: exactly one first subset out of a plurality of non-empty first subsets and exactly one second subset out of a plurality of non-empty second subsets. The processor is configured to generate one or more control commands for a group of subsets out of the first and the second pluralities of subsets in response to a number of moving elements which, if released from the first extreme position during a second sampling cycle, enables production by the apparatus during the second sampling cycle of a sound.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n an apparatus which comprises a set of actuator elements, each comprising a moving element which moves between first and second extreme positions, wherein each actuator element of the set is comprised in: (a) exactly one first subset out of a plurality of non-empty first subsets (R-subsets) of the set of actuator elements; and (b) exactly one second subset out of a plurality of non-empty second subsets (C-subsets) of the set of actuator elements; wherein each of the actuator elements of said set of actuator elements is an electrostatic actuator element comprising the moving element which is operative to move between the first extreme position and the second extreme position which is farther from a first electrode of said actuator element than the first extreme position, wherein the actuator element is responsive to potentials applied to the first electrode and to the moving element based on control commands issued by the processor for the R-subset and the C-subset in which said moving element is comprised, wherein said potentials comprise at least one of a hold voltage V H , a latching voltage V L , and a release voltage V R , a processor, configured to:\n determine a maximal number (Nltr) of moving elements which may be released from the first extreme position at a second sampling cycle in a first C-subset which comprises moving elements released from the first extreme position in a first sampling cycle, based on: a number of the moving elements of the first C-subset which were released from the first extreme position in the first sampling cycle; \n obtain a number (Ntbr) of moving elements which, if released from the first extreme position during the second sampling cycle, enables production by the apparatus during the second sampling cycle of a sound, at least one attribute of which corresponds to at least one characteristic of a digital input signal; and \n generate one or more control commands for a group of subsets out of the first and the second pluralities of subsets, in response to: (a) Nltr, (b) Ntbr, and (c) a first release-order indication, indicative of an order in which moving elements of the first C-subset are released from the first extreme position; wherein the group of subsets comprising the first C-subset, wherein if Ntbr is smaller than Nltr, control commands are generated for releasing from the first extreme position Ntbr moving elements of the first C-subset but not of any moving element of any other C-subset; and \n an interface for transferring the control commands to the apparatus, thereby resulting in movement of at least one moving element which is comprised in the first C-subset from the first extreme position, wherein said control commands cause application of at least one of said hold voltage V H , said latching voltage V L , and said release voltage V R .
