An array-type tactile feedback touch panel includes a touch unit, a central processing unit (CPU), a vibration unit, and a display unit. The vibration unit has a plurality of thin vibrators. When the display unit displays a touch frame and a touch body performs a touch motion on the touch unit, the touch unit records a motion track during the touch motion and transmits the motion track to the CPU. Then, the vibration unit receives the motion track, and drives the vibrators under corresponding positions of the motion track to generate vibrations. Therefore, during the touch motion, a partial tactile feedback is generated at touch points of the touch body, and the tactile feedback effect is generated sequentially according to the motion track of the touch body.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a hierarchical method for generating force feedback effects. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a first force contribution associated with a first (e.g., previous) position of a manipulandum; determining a second force contribution associated with a second (e.g., current) position of the manipulandum; and outputting a force signal to an actuator coupled to the manipulandum, such that the actuator renders a feedback force having a sum of the first and second force contributions. The method may further include classifying force effects according to a predetermined “hierarchy” (or “priority”) scheme, whereby the second force contribution is related to “high” priority force effects associated with the second position, and the first force contribution is related to “low” priority force effects associated with the first position. As such, computation delay in outputting force feedback effects can be substantially reduced, thereby enhancing the stability and performance of the underlying force feedback system.

A hearing aid having two physically separate receivers, one for outputting low frequency (LF) acoustic sounds and another for outputting high frequency (HF) acoustic sounds. The LF receiver's output port is connected to a tube in which the HF receiver is inserted. The LF acoustic sounds either flow around the HF receiver, which include standoffs to space the HF receiver away from the inner tube wall, or through a channel in the HF receiver. At the output of the HF receiver, the LF and HF acoustic sounds are combined to form an acoustic signal that is transmitted to the ear canal. The LF receiver can be optimized for compliance, distortion, resonance frequency, and output. Its orientation is selected for reducing the overall size of the hearing aid. The HF receiver is smaller and placed far away from any microphone(s), reducing feedback effects, and may have a cylindrical or rectangular shape.
