    Abstract: An acoustic module, such as a microphone or speaker module, includes an acoustic membrane that vibrates to produce acoustic waves and an acoustic cavity through which acoustic waves produced by the membrane travel. A liquid removal mechanism removes liquid from the acoustic cavity. Such a liquid removal mechanism may include the acoustic membrane, heating elements, hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic surfaces, and so on. In some cases, the liquid removal mechanism may remove liquid from the acoustic cavity upon connection of the acoustic module and/or an associated electronic device to an external power source.

    Abstract: An acoustic port of an acoustic device is covered with a mesh and/or other structure that resists entry of liquid and/or other materials into the acoustic device. Apertures of a housing that are separated by an umbrella section are coupled to the acoustic port such that the umbrella section may cover the acoustic port. In this way, when liquid enters one or more of the apertures, the umbrella section may direct the liquid away from the mesh such that pressure from the liquid upon the mesh may be reduced. As such, potential damage to the mesh and/or internal acoustic device components may be mitigated. In some implementations, the apertures may be covered with an additional mesh. Such additional mesh may further reduce the pressure of entering liquid on the mesh covering the acoustic port of the acoustic device.

    Abstract translation: 声学装置的声学端口被覆盖有抵抗液体和/或其他材料进入声学装置的网和/或其他结构。 由伞形部分隔开的壳体的孔连接到声学端口,使得伞形部分可以覆盖声学端口。 以这种方式,当液体进入一个或多个孔时,伞形部分可将液体引导离开网状物,使得可以减少来自网状物上的液体的压力。 因此,可以减轻对网孔和/或内部声学装置部件的潜在损害。 在一些实施方案中,孔可以用附加的网覆盖。 这种另外的网可以进一步降低在覆盖声学装置的声学端口的网状物上进入液体的压力。

    Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure (101) having a transparent cover (141) defining a touch-sensitive surface, a display (102) positioned within the enclosure and below the transparent cover, and a haptic device (103) configured to produce a haptic output along the touch-sensitive surface. The haptic device (103) may include a battery element (104) electrically coupled to the display (102), a magnetic element (220), and a coil assembly (106) fixed with respect to the enclosure (101) and configured to induce an oscillatory movement of the battery element (104) parallel to the display to produce the haptic output. In other examples, the coil assembly (106) may be coupled to the battery element (104) and first and second magnetic elements may be fixed with respect to the enclosure (101).
