Abstract: A method for directional sound capture. The method includes capturing, using a camera device, a sequence of images of a scene comprising a light source attached to a sound source object, detecting, by a hardware processor based on a pattern of local light change across the sequence of images, the light source in the scene, determining a direction of the sound source object by at least determining a location of the light source in at least one image of the sequence of images, transmitting, to a direction control device coupled to a microphone, a control signal to direct a sensitivity direction of the microphone towards the sound source object, and capturing, using the microphone and in response to directing the sensitivity direction of the microphone towards the sound source object, the sound emitted from the sound source object.

Abstract: A microphone bed for receiving a microphone. The microphone bed including a first compressible portion and first and second non-compressible portions. The first compressible portion is formed to accommodate a first end of the microphone. The first non-compressible portion has the compressible portion coupled thereto, the non-compressible portion having a length that is over half a length of the microphone. The second non-compressible portion is coupled to the first non-compressible portion, which together form a cavity therebetween, the second non-compressible portion having a floor. There is a weighted feature extending upward from the floor of the second non-compressible portion.

Abstract: A speaker box includes a housing and a speaker unit accommodated in the housing. The speaker unit includes a diaphragm configured to vibrate and sound. The diaphragm is spaced from the housing to form a front sound cavity therebetween. The speaker box further includes a sound transmitting channel communicating the front sound cavity with outside. The front sound cavity and the sound transmitting channel cooperatively form a front cavity of the speaker box. A sound absorption layer is disposed at a portion of the housing facing the front cavity. The sound absorption layer includes a micro-porous structure. When the sound wave passes through the front cavity, the sound absorption layer is capable of absorbing the resonance vibration of the front cavity in high frequency, thus suppressing the amplification of the sound distortion due to the resonance vibration of the front cavity and improving the acoustic performance of the speaker box.

Abstract: A dynamic arrangement for loudspeaker grilles is disclosed. A first perforated grille is operable to move with respect to a second perforated grille. The relative movement is controlled to cause the two respective sets of perforations to fall in or out of alignment as required, leading to advantageous effects such as different levels of acoustic transparency.

Abstract: A portable audio input/output device may include one or more openings that extend through a cover of the device and allow acoustic signals outside a housing of the device to reach a microphone disposed within the housing. The opening(s) may be illuminated by a light guide disposed within the housing, which scatters light emitted from lights disposed within the housing. In some instances, a hole may pass through a printed circuit board to allow acoustic signals to be received by the microphone disposed below the printed circuit board. An input/output (I/O) interface module with multiple buttons and inputs may be installed in the hole. The multiple buttons and I/O ports of the I/O interface module may be aligned along an axis vertical relative to the housing and centered with respect to each other.
