    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: An acoustic port of 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: 声学装置的声学接口用被阻止液体和/或其它材料进入声学装置的网状物和/或其它结构覆盖。 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 watch includes a housing, a display positioned at least partially within the housing, a cover covering at least part of the display, and a crown having a portion positioned along a side of the housing. The crown may include an inner member that is rotationally constrained relative to the housing and an outer member that is rotationally free relative to the inner member. The device may further include a rotation sensor configured to sense a rotation of the outer member relative to the inner member.

    Abstract: A wearable electronic device may include a housing defining a band slot and a protrusion further defining a camera cavity. A digital camera assembly may be positioned in the camera cavity defined by the protrusion and/or housing. Walls of the protrusion may at least partially define the band slot and the protrusion may further at least partially extend over the band slot. The digital camera assembly may be used to capture light used to generate images and/or videos and may be communicatively coupled to a battery and other electronic components positioned within an internal cavity of the wearable electronic device. A band configured to couple with the band slot to secure the wearable electronic device around a body part of a user may be provided and may be removeable with respect to the band slot.
