This technique is used to build crystal microphones, phonograph cartridges and strain gauges, all of which turn mechanical movement into voltage. technology to computer systems, with the introduction of the Invisible Speaker(TM) system. By mounting piezoelectric transducers inside the computer housing, the Invisible Speaker system provides audio in a uniquely flat package. The Invisible Speaker system will be exhibited at Comdex in a flat panel monitor See flat panel display. by Advan International Corporation on November 14 - 18 at the Messina Suite, located in the Palace Tower in Caesars Palace Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. . The desire for a "clean desk" is a key factor driving the growing demand for flat panel monitors. Until now, those wanting multi-media audio required satellite speakers, adding yet another set of cables and losing the desk space they'd hoped to save. To solve this problem ACX has developed a way to totally hide transducers inside the monitor. For those desiring premium sound, an optional subwoofer A speaker that reproduces the lower end of the audio spectrum. A subwoofer system may include a crossover circuit which switches frequencies at approximately 100Hz and under to the subwoofer, while passing the rest of the signal to the main speakers. may be added. Barry J. Lebu, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Advan commented, "Combining ACX's Invisible Speaker system with our Advanced Mounting Solutions and `One Touch' auto adjustment provides users with a comprehensive solution. The fact that the speakers are completely sealed inside the monitor, with no speaker grilles, is particularly beneficial in medical and industrial environments where contamination is a concern." The Invisible Speaker system is based on ACX's patented QuickPack platform. "The transducer transducer, device that accepts an input of energy in one form and produces an output of energy in some other form, with a known, fixed relationship between the input and output. is only 0.011" thick or "about the thickness of a business card", explained Jody Vipperman, ACX's Business Manager for Communications Products. She further noted, "The size made it a breeze to integrate into Advan's TFT-LCD TFT-LCD Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display monitor, allowing them to add this feature in record time." Despite the extreme thinness, the unique packaging offered by the QuickPack platform makes the transducers extremely durable in the manufacturing process and in field use.
