Claim 1

IN AN ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCER ADAPTABLE FOR THE CONVERSION OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO MECHANICAL DISPLACEMENT, A FORCE GENERATING MEANS CAPABLE OF BEING ACTIVATED BY THE PASSAGE OF AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT, A DRIVEN MECHANICAL MEANS, MEANS FOR CONNECTING SAID FORCE GENERATING MEANS TO SAID DRIVEN MEANS, SAID DRIVEN MEANS BEING CAPABLE OF DISPLACEMENT AS A FUNCTION OF THE MAGNITUDE OF SAID ELECTRICAL CURRENT, THE RESULTANT FUNCTION BETWEEN THE MAGNITUDE OF SAID ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND THE MAGNITUDE OF SAID MECHANICAL DISPLACMENT BEING CHARACTERIZED WHEREIN THE RESULTANT FUNCTION DEVIATES FROM A LINEAR FUNCTION IN THE REGION NEAR THE VICINITY OF MAXIMUM DISPLACEMENT OF SAID DRIVEN MECHANICAL MEANS, MEANS FOR IMPROVING THE LINEARITY OF SAID RESULTANT FUNCTION TO PROVIDE UNIFORM DISPLACEMENT OF SAID DRIVER MEANS FOR EQUAL INCREMENTS OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT OVER THE OPERATING RANGE OF SAID TRANSDUCER, SAID MEANS FOR IMPROVING THE LINEARITY OF SAID FUNCTION COMPRISING A FIRST MAGNETIC MEMBER MOVABLE BY SAID DRIVEN MECHANICAL MEANS AND A SECOND MAGNETIC MEMBER POSITIONED IN RELATIVELY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SAID FIRST MAGNETIC MEMBER ONLY AS SAID DRIVEN MECHANICAL MEANS IS DISPLACED TOWARD ITS MAXIMUM POSITION.
