    Abstract: An audio system that adjusts one or more beam patterns emitted by one or more loudspeaker arrays based on the preferences of users/listeners is described. The audio system includes an audio receiver that contains a listener location estimator, a listener identifier, and a voice command processor. Inputs from the listener location estimator, the listener identifier, and the voice command processor are fed into an array processor. The array processor drives the one or more loudspeaker arrays to emit beam patterns into the listening area based on inputs from each of these devices. By examining the location, preferred usage settings, and voice commands from listeners, the generated beam patterns are customized to the explicit and implicit preferences of the listeners with minimal direct input. Other embodiments are also described.

    Abstract: A plug connector module that includes a metal frame having a base portion, an insertion end and a cavity that extends from the base portion into the insertion end. The insertion end is configured to be inserted into a cavity of a corresponding receptacle connector. A substrate extends through the base portion of the frame and into the insertion end and has a plurality of contact bonding pads at one end positioned within the frame, a plurality of conductor bonding pads at the opposing end and at least one ground pad contact between the contact bonding pads and conductor bonding pads. A first plurality of external contacts is positioned in a first opening and bonded to some of the plurality of contact bonding pads on the substrate and a second plurality of contacts positioned within a second opening and bonded to some of the plurality of contact bonding pads on the substrate. One or more electronic components coupled to the substrate. A first encapsulant that covers and environmentaly seals the one or more electronic components. A metal shield coupled to the base portion of the metal frame and encasing a portion of the substrate and the one or more electronic components, the metal shield having a leg that is substantially perpendicular to the substrate and coupled to the substrate at the ground pad, and a second encapsulant that covers and environmentally seals the ground pad and at least a portion of the leg. 65354894v.] 108a 105c 106a 102a10 106Fi.1 106(1)..(8 59 59 -, 105 p Ap fu 102'~ U 102 b U ~102b 112' 106a 106b 105C I105b

    Abstract: A plug connector module (100) including a metal frame (105) with a cavity, a substrate (104) inside the frame. The substrate includes several contact pads on one side located on the top face and bottom face of the substrate. Both set of contacts pads are connected to external contacts (106(1)-106(16)) located inside frame top and bottom openings. On the other side of the substrate are located several conductor pads (110). Between contact and conductor bonding pads the substrate includes ground pads (112). Electronic components (108a, 108b) are coupled to the substrate. A first encapsulant (205) seals the electronic components. A metal shield (210) coupled to the base portion of the metal frame and encasing a portion of the substrate and the one or more electronic components, the metal shield includes a leg (220) perpendicular to the substrate coupled to the ground pad, and a second encapsulant (250) that seals the ground pad and at least a portion of the leg.
