Abstract:
Improvements in an adjustable sound bar end cap to allow for the end caps to be outwardly adjustable relative to the frame. The end caps translate from the frame to provide movement of the end caps to match exact variations due to differences in finishes widths per different brands. Springs push the end caps from the frame to maintain a constant pressure between the frame and the end cap(s). This configuration gives 0 to 1 inch of movement per side. The fastener compresses the spring to remain in compression. Multiple fasteners allow for even compression and perpendicular fit of the end cap relative to the frame. A cover plate that covers the adjustment mechanism and adjustment screws. The cover is made from a ferrous material that is attracted to a magnet within the frame to allow for secure holding of the cover plate and easy removal.
Abstract:
An electrostatic speaker driver having specially configured stators and diaphragm for multi-directional sound projection is described. The stators and diaphragm may be frustoconical for example. Stators may have apertures to enable sound generated by vibration of the diaphragm to project in desired directions. The speaker drivers may stand alone, or alternatively, may be part of a speaker assembly including one or more speaker drivers.
Abstract:
An electronic device with multiple modes of attachment is disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the electronic device includes a device assembly having a housing; a clip member coupled to the housing; a first magneto coupler coupled to the housing; and a removable member having a second magneto coupler. The second magneto coupler of the removable member is capable of being magnetically coupled to the first magneto coupler that is coupled to the housing, so the magnetic coupling allows the housing to be attached to a non-edge portion of a non-metallic and/or non-magnetic item when the item is placed between the first magneto coupler and the removable member. The clip member allows the housing to be attached to, and detached from, an edge of a non-metallic and/or non-magnetic item when the removable member is magnetically coupled to the housing, and there is no item between the first magneto coupler and removable member.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for a loudspeaker for producing directed acoustic vibrations. In some embodiments, a loudspeaker includes an electromagnetic transducer including a diaphragm configured to generate acoustic vibrations. The loudspeaker may further include an aperture frame positioned in front of the diaphragm in a direction of propagation of the acoustic vibrations, the aperture frame covering only a portion of a radiating surface of the diaphragm and having a shape that corresponds to the contours of the diaphragm.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric sounding component includes a diaphragm that includes a metal plate and a piezoelectric body formed on the metal plate. The diaphragm bends and vibrates according to application of voltage to the piezoelectric body. A casing includes a bottom wall, side walls which, in combination with the diaphragm define a sound chamber. The diaphragm is supported by a support portion formed in the casing such that outer peripheral edges of the diaphragm are spaced from inner surfaces of the casing. A terminal is located on the casing and is electrically connected to the diaphragm. At least two elastic adhesives join the diaphragm to the casing and respective conductive adhesives extend over its associated elastic adhesive from the diaphragm to a respective terminal. A frame-like sealing portion seals a gap between the outer peripheral edge of the diaphragm and the inner surfaces of the casing. A recessed portion is formed in a portion of the support portion facing the terminal such that the first elastic adhesive extends over the recessed portion.
Abstract:
A hub has a display Printed Circuit Board (PCB) having a contact switch; a display panel positioned above the display PCB and controlled by the display PSB to output content. A window support is positioned over the display panel and has an opening exposing at least a section of display panel. A window formed of a transparent material is positioned over the window support. The window support includes a window support plate defining the opening, the window being positioned on an upper surface of the window support plate; at least one manipulation protrusion extending downward from the window support plate at a position corresponding to the contact switch, the manipulation protrusion operating the contact switch in response to pressure applied to the support plate through the window; and support bosses extending downward from the window support plate and coupled to the partition.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes an enclosure capable of receiving a transducer for converting electrical signals into audible signals. The apparatus also includes one or more structures within the enclosure defining one or more channels, each channel having one end located within the enclosure and another end that is external to the enclosure. The apparatus also includes an acoustic resistive element located in the one of the one or more structures, the acoustic resistive element being capable of changing the acoustic characteristics of at least one of the one or more channels within the enclosure.

Abstract:
A packaged MEMS device may include an embedding arrangement, a MEMS device disposed in the embedding arrangement, a sound port disposed in the embedding arrangement and acoustically coupled to the MEMS device, and a grille within the sound port. Some embodiments relate to a sound transducer component including an embedding material and a substrate-stripped MEMS die embedded into the embedding material. The MEMS die may include a diaphragm for sound transduction. The sound transducer component may further include a sound port within the embedding material in fluidic or acoustic contact with the diaphragm. Further embodiments relate to a method for packaging a MEMS device or to a method for manufacturing a sound transducer component.
Abstract:
A protective enclosure for a mobile computing device that has an interactive touchscreen includes a first case member and a second case member. The second case member is attachable to the first case member via a latching mechanism, and the combined case members provide a protective interior of the enclosure. Pliable areas of the first and/or second case member align with a control button of the mobile computing device and transfer external force to the control button. An electrical connector of the protective enclosure is structured to engage a corresponding connector of the mobile computing device. The protective cover includes audio headphones and a headphone cable that connects between the audio headphones and an exterior surface of the second case member, electrically connecting the audio headphones to the electrical connector of the protective enclosure.
