摘要:
A bone conduction assembly can include at least a microphone, an assembly stem, an ear cushion, and a microphone channel. The microphone can include an acoustic-to-electric transducer. The assembly stem can house the microphone and can be shaped for insertion into an ear canal of a user. The ear cushion can have an inner surface surrounding an outer surface of the assembly stem and an outer, contiguous, annular surface configured to maintain contact with an ear canal of a user when worn. The microphone channel can be shaped to channel vibrations resulting from bone conduction from the ear canal through the assembly stem to the microphone. In one embodiment, the bone conduction assembly can include a speaker having a speaker channel that is acoustically isolated from the microphone channel.

A combination sliding push button switch is disclosed. The combination switch comprises a sliding button switch (101) coupled to a housing (102). The sliding switch button includes a finger (202) that slideably couples the sliding switch button to the housing and the finger has an actuator portion that selectively engages a second switch 108 as a function of a sliding action of the sliding switch button relative to the housing. The sliding switch button moves with a push-button motion in direction perpendicular to the sliding action in order to engage a popple dome switch 106 when the sliding switch button is positioned in a first sliding position 300 relative to the housing.

A method (100) for assembling a portable device configured with an energy storage device, is disclosed. The method (100) can include: providing (105) a portable device with a controller configured to control the operations of the portable device; configuring (110) the portable device with a multi-mode switch including a temporary active mode configured for simplified testing, a temporarily inactive mode configured for minimizing power drain, and a permanent active mode for normal user operation; and controlling (115) the multi-mode switch from outside the portable device. The method (100) can help to prolong the useful shelf life of the device and can help to simplify testing and calibrating before shipping.
