Abstract: A loudspeaker system includes a first flexible panel, a first line array of electro-acoustic drivers, and at least one mechanically adjustable point. The first line array of electro-acoustic drivers are mounted on the first flexible panel and linked to each other by flexible joints in the first flexible panel. The at least one mechanically adjustable point enables articulation of the first flexible panel at the flexible joints to produce one or more of a substantially straight and an arcuate configuration of the first line array of electro-acoustic drivers.

Abstract: Conventional stereo audio recordings do not factor in natural ear spacing or “head shadow” of a user's head and ears. The hinged computing devices disclosed herein incorporate a pair of microphones that approximate the user's ear-to-ear spacing and orientation, as well as a physical structure that approximates the user's head shadow. A resulting recording of the computing device's environment may be conditioned and reproduced as a binaural stereo audio feed for selective playback to the user or other users.

Abstract: An angular audio accessory for redirecting a speaker bar consists of a stationary U-channel, a collapsible U-channel, a hinging mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The collapsible U-channel is hingedly connected to the stationary U-channel with the hinging mechanism. The configuration of the collapsible U-channel is determined with the clamping mechanism. When in use, the stationary U-channel is attached to a body of a vehicle. The speaker bar that needs to be redirected is connected to the collapsible U-channel. Thus, the speaker bar can be positioned in parallel to the stationary U-channel or perpendicular to the stationary U-channel.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing including a head part that is rotatable, a plurality of microphones disposed in the head part, a sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the head part, a memory storing data classifying feature parameters for each of the plurality of microphones according to a plurality of rotation angles, a motor configured to rotate the head part; and a processor. The processor implements the method, including when detecting sound by the plurality of microphones originating from a sound source, driving the motor to rotate the head part until a designated portion of a surface of the head part is facing the sound source, and when the designated portion of the surface is facing the sound source, adjusting feature parameters for each the plurality of microphones based on the classified feature parameters and a current angle of the head part.

Abstract: A modular speaker system includes a plurality of speaker modules configured prior to use to function in reproducing various sound channels depending upon specific desires of a user. Each of the plurality of speaker modules includes a substantially cylindrical housing including an open first end and a closed second end, as well as a cylindrical sidewall extending between the first end and the second end. Each speaker module also includes a first driver secured within the first end of the housing, the first driver being mounted within the first end of the housing for directing sound outwardly, and a second driver positioned within the housing at a central position between the first end and the second end of the housing. A plurality of circular rings are positioned around the housing allowing for control of the speaker module in various ways.

Abstract: This invention is a mounting system for a loudspeaker system that is capable of positioning and re-positioning the box-like device of the loudspeaker without requiring the use of any retaining/tensioning fasteners. A bracket facilitates constraining the positioning and repositioning for the roll and pitch axes while simultaneously providing audible feedback angular movement indication that enable vertical and horizontal orientation with respect both to the installation environment and to match its positioning to other like installed systems.

Abstract: The present application refers to a head-mounted electronic device including a headphone, a display portion, and two position limiting structures. The headphone includes a C-shaped elastic belt which has two connection ends, two movable members, each rotatably connected to one connection end around a first axis, and two sound generators, each rotatably connected to one movable member around a second axis. The display portion includes a main body generating and projecting images, and two connection members connected to opposite ends of the main body. Each of the two connection members is rotatably connected to the sound generators around a respective third axis. When rotating around the third axis, the headphone is driven by the display portion to rotate around the first axis and the second axis, which avoids distortion of the elastic belt and the connection member, and ensures the display portion can be folded together with the headphone.

Abstract: A wireless audio speaker system that includes a speaker main unit and multiple functions provided by exchangeable accessories is disclosed. The speaker main unit includes a top sleeve and a bottom sleeve that covers the external surface of a more internal enclosure that houses the main unit electronics and circuitry. External electrical and mechanical connectors are configured to be positioned on speaker unit and are adapted to being connected to the accessories. One external connector is positioned on the top sleeve for passing power and audio signals between the speaker main unit and an accessory component that is mounted to the top sleeve. A second connector is configured to be positioned on the bottom sleeve for passing audio signals between the speaker main unit and a second speaker that is stacked to the bottom sleeve via stacking plate. Multiple exchangeable accessory components are described to seamlessly supplement functionality and enhance user experience.
