A first metal plate for transmission and a second metal plate for transmission are closely-attached to a first surface and a second surface of a dielectric body, respectively. An outer edge of the first metal plate substantially symmetrically faces an outer edge of the second metal plate via the dielectric body. A metal plate for matching is arranged inside a hole formed on the second metal plate, with a slit formed with an inner wall of the hole, and is fixed to the dielectric body. The metal plate for matching is electrically connected to the first metal plate via a through hole penetrating the dielectric body. An IC chip is surface-mounted to connect the second metal plate with the metal plate for matching.

A first directivity parameter to provide a narrow directivity and a second directivity parameter to provide a wide directivity are preset for a directivity control apparatus to control the directivity of an array loudspeaker system. The directivity control apparatus selects either the first directivity parameter or the second directivity parameter in accordance with an instruction that is entered through an operating unit to select the directional characteristic of a loudspeaker array. Then, based on the selected directivity parameter, the directivity control apparatus generates delay control information, to be supplied to a delay circuit, and generates gain control information, to be supplied to a weighting unit.

Disclosed herein is a speaker system unit with a cone type vibration plate, a horn and a diffuser. The horn is disposed such that a small-diameter opening thereof is positioned inward from a front opening of the vibration plate, and an outer surface of the horn is arranged along an inner surface of the vibration plate to form a first acoustic path. The diffuser has a base portion, a front end portion and an outer peripheral surface extending therebetween, and is disposed such that the base portion is positioned inward from a front opening of the horn, opposite the small-diameter opening of the horn. The diffuser has a specific shape such that the outer peripheral surface expands along an inner surface of the horn to form a second acoustic path and then narrows toward the front end portion of the diffuser.

A vacuum cleaner includes a first transmitting unit transmitting a signal including first identification information with directivity of a predetermined width, and a first receiving unit receiving a signal with directivity wider than directivity of the first transmitting unit.

A first control unit controls, when the signal including the second identification information is received by the first receiving unit, drive of a motor to allow a body case to travel based on a direction that the signal including the first identification information is transmitted.

An electroacoustic transducer includes a diaphragm including a pair of convex surfaces respectively including convex surfaces of a pair of longitudinal split tubular members. A valley is formed between one side portions of the pair of longitudinal split tubular members. The electroacoustic transducer further includes: a converter configured to convert between a vibration of the diaphragm in a depth direction of the valley and an electric signal corresponding to the vibration; and a supporter supporting other side portions of the pair of longitudinal split tubular members of the diaphragm so as to allow the other side portions to vibrate in a vibration direction of the vibration.

A radome capable of increasing directivity in the vertical direction, an antenna device including the radome, and a radar device including the antenna device are realized. A radome (10) includes an outer wall (11) having a semicircular side section, and an inner wall (12) disposed inside the outer wall. The inner wall is composed of a first inner wall (211) and a second inner wall (212). When the first inner wall is viewed from the side, it is from the midpoint (Pc) on the circumference of the outer wall to the distance between the midpoint (Pc) and the two ends (Pe). In the range of predetermined positions between them, they are arranged with a fixed minimum distance (dc) from the outer wall. The second inner wall is formed of a flat plate having one end connected to the end of the first inner wall and having a plane parallel to a straight line connecting the midpoint (Pc) and the center (Po). Accordingly, the shortest distance (de) between the outer wall and the inner wall near the end (Pe) of the outer wall is wider than the shortest distance (dc) between the outer wall and the inner wall near the midpoint (Pc) of the outer wall.

A speaker of the present invention includes the following: a diaphragm that includes an inner periphery coupled to a voice coil, and a corrugation provided at the intermediate position between the inner periphery and an outer periphery; a speaker edge for supporting the outer periphery of the diaphragm; and a damping member attached to an outer peripheral part of the diaphragm outside the vicinity of an outer periphery of the corrugation. The effective vibration area of an inner peripheral part of the diaphragm inside an inner periphery of the corrugation is substantially half or less of the total effective vibration area. The damping member is configured as a damping portion by extending an overlap portion of the speaker edge overlapping with the diaphragm to the vicinity of the outer periphery of the corrugation. This configuration can suppress the vibration transmission at high frequencies to the outer peripheral part of the diaphragm outside the corrugation, allows only the inner peripheral part of the diaphragm inside the corrugation to mainly vibrate at high frequencies, and also can suppress a resonance in the outer peripheral part of the diaphragm outside the corrugation. Thus, the speaker can have both an excellent high frequency response and an excellent mid-high frequency response.

The first coil conductor and the second coil conductor are arranged with a magnetic layer interposed therebetween so that a coil aperture of the first coil conductor and a coil aperture of the second coil conductor are opposed to each other in alignment. An inner end portion of the first coil conductor and an inner end portion of the second coil conductor are electrically connected. The first coil conductor and the second coil conductor are connected to each other so that directions of magnetic fluxes generated in coil-wound axis directions of the first coil conductor and the second conductor are mutually opposite to each other. A magnetic flux φ entering a metal body in a perpendicular direction thereto flows in a lateral direction of the magnetic layer.
