Abstract:
The present disclosure generally provides an apparatus and method of forming a pressure equalizing audio speaker that can be easily manufactured and provides a high quality audio output. One or more of the embodiments of the disclosure provided herein include a sealed enclosure that has at least one liquid impermeable and gas permeable region that allows the flow of a gas between an interior region and an exterior region, while preventing or substantially inhibiting the movement of a liquid from the exterior region into the internal region. In general, the liquid impermeable and gas permeable regions are configured to allow slowly changing gas pressures registered between the internal region and exterior region to be relieved, while allowing rapidly changing gas pressures generated by the diaphragm at audible frequencies to function at a desired level during use.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to method or apparatus that can automatically control the delivery of an audio output to a user. In some embodiments, an audio device that can automatically deliver, halt and/or modify an audio signal based on an impedance measurement made by electrical elements in a headphone or between electrical elements in both headphones of the audio device.
Abstract:
A method of downloading media content to a content player is provided, including receiving a command at a content player to deliver media content; transmitting the command from the content player to a first server; determining that the command is a request to deliver media content from a content provider; transmitting a request to a content server of the content provider from the first server based on the determined request to deliver the media content from the content provider; receiving, at the first server, a first information link from the content server in response to the request; transmitting the first information link to the content player; downloading a first portion of a media file to the content player from the content server using the first information link; and delivering at least a portion of the media file to the user.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure may include a method and apparatus for improving the efficiency and extending the operation time between recharges or replacement batteries of a portable audio delivery system. The audio delivery system may include a processor, an audio processing device, a speaker, and a rechargeable power source. The audio delivery system is generally configured to generate and/or receive an audio input signal and efficiently deliver an amplified, high quality audio output signal to a user. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the audio processing device of the audio delivery system may include a switch mode power supply (SMPS), a signal delay element, an envelope detector, and a switching signal amplifier.
