Ultrasound probe with heat collecting portion
There is provided an ultrasound probe capable of efficiently discharging heat generated in a plurality of piezoelectric elements to the outside. A heat collecting portion that includes at least one heat conducting path and is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than a backing member collects heat from a plurality of piezoelectric elements, and a heat exhausting portion connected to the heat collecting portion discharges the heat collected in the heat collecting portion to the outside. The heat conducting path extends in a thickness direction within the backing member and has a distal end exposed from the top surface of the backing member facing the bottom surface of each of the plurality of piezoelectric elements.

Hydroacoustic device
The invention relates to hydroacoustics and more specifically to hydroacoustic devices comprising, disposed in a single housing, a converter of liquid-medium oscillations and electrical signals, capable of receiving and/or transmitting hydroacoustic signals, the converter being disposed on a board which is connected to a switch cable for providing power and transmitting electrical signals, and may be used as a receiver and/or transmitter of hydroacoustic signals in water. According to the invention, the housing of the to hydroacoustic device is formed by the outer surfaces of the converter and board, and by a protective material which coats all of said surfaces, said material allowing for a transmission of hydroacoustic oscillations and being capable of transitioning from a highly-elastic or viscous-flow state to a solid state. The achieved technical result consists in simplifying the design of the device.

ULTRASONIC DEVICE
An ultrasonic device includes a case, a piezoelectric element, a sound absorbing material, and a vibration-proof material. The case defines a housing space. The piezoelectric element is disposed in the housing space. The sound absorbing material is disposed on the piezoelectric element and is made of a foaming material. The vibration-proof material is disposed around the sound absorbing material and is in contact with an inner face of the case. Between the piezoelectric element and the sound absorbing material, a first space is formed.
EXTERNAL NOISEMAKER FOR PIPE SYSTEMS
A noisemaker system includes: a node of an infrastructure system; and a noisemaker including a vibrating plate, the vibrating plate including a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the vibrating plate in contact with an exterior surface of the node, and an actuator configured to engage the top surface of the vibrating plate and generate an acoustic signal.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUPPRESSING SOUND LEAKAGE
A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.

SPEAKER DEVICE
A speaker device for reproducing sound within a predetermined audio spectrum is provided. The speaker device comprises: a housing including a top, a bottom, and a side surface; at least one speaker disposed within the housing, the at least one speaker including a speaker flange facing towards the bottom; a waveguide including at least a first surface defining at least one sound channel for conducting a given sound produced by the at least one speaker, and the at least one channel includes a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone sequentially defined along a length thereof to provide for sound reproduction from 100 Hz to 20000 Hz.
Systems and methods for suppressing sound leakage
The present disclosure relates to a method of reducing sound leakage of a bone conduction speaker and a bone conduction speaker thereof. The bone conduction speaker comprises a housing, a vibration board and a transducer. The transducer is located in the housing, and the vibration board is configured to contact with skin and pass vibration. At least one sound guiding hole is set on at least one portion of the housing to guide sound wave inside the housing to the outside of the housing. The guided wave and the leaked sound wave form interference so that the amplitude of the leaked sound wave is reduced.
