Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing defining a first aperture and at least partially defining an internal volume. An air permeable component can be disposed at the first aperture and the device can include a support component defining a second aperture within the first aperture and engaging the air permeable component. The support component can include a sidewall disposed in the first aperture and defining at least one notch.

Abstract: An electronic device has an acoustic transducer with an acoustic diaphragm. The diaphragm has opposed first and second major surfaces. A front volume is positioned adjacent the first major surface. A back volume is positioned adjacent the second major surface. An elongated channel defines a barometric vent and extends from a first end fluidly coupled with the front volume to a second end fluidly coupled with the back volume, fluidly coupling the front volume with the back volume. The elongated channel may have a high aspect ratio (L/D), providing the vent with a substantial air mass. The elongated channel may be segmented to define a higher-order filter. For example, a segmented channel can have a cascade of repeating acoustic-mass and acoustic-compliance units, providing the barometric vent with additional degrees-of-freedom for tuning.

Abstract: An electronic device whose enclosure or housing panel is used as part of an acoustic system is described. The panel is divided into several sub-panels. For each sub-panel, the device includes one or more actuators attached to vibrate the sub-panel. The actuator and its attached sub-panel convert an audio signal to acoustic output. Each actuator and sub-panel combination may receive a separate audio signal. The device includes a digital signal processor for controlling each of the sub-panel driving audio signals. The device may further include one or more backing frames that are attached to the panel to provide boundary conditions to the sub-panels. The boundary conditions define a resonance frequency for each sub-panel.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a directivity speaker array, comprising multiple driver assemblies, which is configured to provide audio signal patterns, which include audio content, to one or more listeners where the signal patterns are associated with at least a certain threshold directivity across a range of frequencies in which the array can transition between the providing audio signal patterns via beamforming of signals generated by multiple driver assemblies and via an individual driver assembly, based on overlapping frequency ranges at which such provided audio signal patterns are associated with at least the certain threshold directivity. A driver assembly can include a release duct which progressively releases an audio signal generated by a coupled driver, via perforations in a perforated surface, as the signal propagates along a surface of an enclosure of the duct such that an intensity of the audio signal is maximized along the particular axis of propagation.

Abstract: A computer system having a loudspeaker mounted on a main logic board by a hermetic seal, is disclosed. More particularly, embodiments of the computer system include an acoustic cavity defined between the loudspeaker, the main logic board, and the hermetic seal. Embodiments of the computer system may include a compressible seal separated from the hermetic seal by the loudspeaker and/or the main logic board. The compressible seal may define an acoustic channel and the loudspeaker may emit sound in a high frequency range through the acoustic channel toward a system exit. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to electronic devices having microphones. An electronic device may include a microphone and a resonator for the microphone. The resonator may be formed in a device structure that is spatially separated from the microphone. The resonator may be formed in an interior wall of a housing of the electronic device, or in a support structure within an enclosure of the electronic device. A resonator and/or one or more damping features, may reduce a resonance effect, on the microphone, of a resonant cavity within the enclosure of the electronic device and adjacent the microphone.
