    摘要: In some implementations, a system for validating products that are placed in a shopping cart includes a shopping cart configured to retain products and to be operated by a user in a retail environment. The shopping cart includes product validation hardware and a controller. The product validation hardware includes motion sensors positioned along a top perimeter of the shopping cart and at least one sound sensor positioned inside the shopping cart. The shopping cart is configured to receive, from the motion sensors, motion data when a product enters a top horizontal plane of the shopping cart, and to receive, from the sound sensor, audio data that is collected in real-time as the product is placed in the shopping cart. An audio signature is generated for the product, and is used to validate the product that is placed in the shopping cart.

    摘要: Disclosed is a hearing device. The hearing device comprises a housing comprising an opening in a portion of the housing. The hearing device further comprises a microphone arranged inside the housing and arranged adjacent to the opening in the portion of the housing. The microphone is configured to receive sounds from the surroundings or a user's ear canal through the opening. The hearing device further comprises a force element arranged on a first side of the microphone. The first side is opposite to the housing at the opening in the housing. The force element is configured to provide support for the microphone.
