Abstract: This disclosure relates to speakers and more specifically to an array speaker for distributing music uniformly across a room. A number of audio drivers can be radially distributed within a speaker housing so that an output of the drivers is distributed evenly throughout the room. In some embodiments, the exit geometry of the audio drivers can be configured to bounce off a surface supporting the array speaker to improve the distribution of music throughout the room. The array speaker can include a number of vibration isolation elements distributed within a housing of the array speaker. The vibration isolation elements can be configured reduce the strength of forces generated by a subwoofer of the array speaker.

Abstract: Electronic equipment may include seamless spacer fabric. Seamless spacer fabric may be used as a protective case or cosmetic cover for an electronic device such as a speaker. A seamless spacer fabric may include a seamless fabric outer layer, a spacer fabric inner layer, and an adhesive layer that bonds the seamless outer layer to the spacer fabric inner layer. The spacer fabric layer may have a seam region where one portion of the spacer fabric layer is joined with another portion of the fabric layer. The seamless fabric outer layer may cover the seam region to hide it from view. One or more additional seam hiding layers or strips may be formed on opposing sides of the spacer fabric layer to cover the seam. The seamless spacer fabric may have an array of openings that extends uniformly around the perimeter of the seamless spacer fabric.

Abstract: An auxiliary electronic device (400), such as a portable battery pack, attachable to a wearable electronic device (100), such as a smartwatch. The auxiliary device (400) includes a housing (402), electronic circuitry within the housing (402), and an attachment mechanism configured to attach the auxiliary electronic device (400) to the wearable device (100) while the device (100) is being worn by a user. In some embodiments the electronic circuitry includes a power transmitting unit (806) that can wirelessly transmit power to charge a rechargeable battery within the wearable electronic device (100). In some embodiments the attachment mechanism includes a pair of lugs (406a, 406b) that extend, from opposite ends of the housing (402), above the housing (402) towards a center of the auxiliary device (400) and are adapted to fit within corresponding recesses (114a, 114b) of the wearable electronic device (100).

Abstract: A head-mounted device (100) includes a device housing (102), a display device (120), an optical system (122), and a headband (106). The head-mounted device also includes a first headband connector (124) that includes a headband-side connector portion (436) that is connected to the headband at a first end of the headband and a device-side connector portion (438) that is connected to the device housing. The first headband connector is movable between a disconnected position, in which the headband-side connector portion is disconnected from the device-side connector portion, and a connected position, in which the headband-side connector portion is connected to the device-side connector portion. The first headband connector also includes paired magnetic components (444, 445) that are configured to attract the headband-side connector portion and the device-side connector portion to one another to urge the first headband connector to move to the connected position.
