An apparatus includes a frame and a surround element that couples a diaphragm to the frame such that the diaphragm is movable in a reciprocating manner relative to the frame. The surround element includes a half-roll element having a concave apparent area and a convex apparent area. The concave and the convex apparent areas are disproportionate. Another apparatus includes a diaphragm, a frame, and a surround element that couples the diaphragm to the frame such that the diaphragm is movable in a reciprocating manner relative to the frame. The surround element includes a half-roll element having a horizontal span and a free-length. A ratio of the horizontal span to the free-length is constant throughout the half-roll element. According to another example, an apparatus includes a landing and a half-roll element adjacent the landing. The half-roll element includes an inner portion, an outer portion having a variable thickness, and a transition portion located between the inner portion and the outer portion.

A loudspeaker diaphragm (12) comprising a woven fiber body supports damping material (25), for example PVA polymer, on a rearward-facing surface (24). The woven fiber body may be formed of lengths (14) non-metallic fiber material (for example glass fiber) coating with a thin metal coating (32). The mass of the layer of damping material (25) may be significantly greater than the mass of the woven fiber body. An attractive sparkly looking loudspeaker diaphragm (12) may thus be provided which damps undesirable vibration while providing a flatter frequency-response curve (50).

Disclosed are a vibration sensor and an electronic equipment. The vibration sensor includes a circuit board assembly, a shell, a vibration pick-up assembly, a support shell and a chip assembly. The shell is configured to cover a side of the circuit board assembly to form an installation space. The vibration pick-up assembly is provided in the installation space, and is configured to pick up an external bone vibration and generate a response vibration. The support shell is connected to a side of the vibration pick-up assembly away from the circuit board assembly. The chip assembly is connected to a side of the support shell away from the circuit board assembly, and is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly. The vibration pick-up assembly, the support shell and the chip assembly are enclosed to form a conduction cavity.

A loudspeaker including a chassis, a drive unit and a diaphragm. The drive unit has a stationary part secured to the chassis and a translatable part secured to the diaphragm. An outer edge of the diaphragm is suspended from the chassis by an edge suspension. The edge suspension has a plurality of straight portions, each straight portion having a respective first surface and a respective second surface which meet along an edge to provide a spring which permits the diaphragm to be moved relative to the chassis by the drive unit. The edge suspension has at least one corner portion, wherein the/each corner portion joins two of the straight portions together and includes at least one geometrical interruption formed therein.

The present invention discloses a vibration diaphragm in an MEMS microphone, and an MEMS microphone. The vibration diaphragm comprises a vibration diaphragm body (1) and at least one pressure relief device (2) defined by gaps (a) in the vibration diaphragm body (1), wherein the gaps (a) comprise at least two sections of circular arc-shaped gaps sequentially connected together. The two adjacent sections of circular arc-shaped gaps are in an S shape as a whole and centrosymmetrical with respect to a connected position thereof. The pressure relief device (2) comprises at least two valve clacks formed by at least two sections of adjacent circular arc-shaped gaps and neck portions connected to the valve clacks and the vibration diaphragm body (1) and of a constraint shape. When subjected to a relatively high sound pressure caused by, for example, mechanical shock, blowing or falling, the at least two valve clacks symmetrical in structure can warp upwards or downwards by taking respective neck portions as pivots. Therefore, an effective pressure relief path is formed, and the aim of pressure relief is achieved.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to microphones diaphragms. In one embodiment, a sensor comprising a diaphragm comprised of a composition having a plurality of individual graphene sheets. An emitter formed in a manner to transmit lights towards a surface of the diaphragm. A collector that captures at least a portion of light that is reflected by the diaphragm. A converter is in communication with the detector that converts a signal that is generated by the sensor to a digital signal for processing. The graphene-based composition includes graphene sheets.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for detachably engaging wireless headsets (100), and more particularly to detachably engage with individual wireless earpiece modules. Accordingly, the apparatus includes: a) a neck-band or neck-loop module (110) with at least one battery pack (112); b) at least one earpiece holders (116); wherein the at least one earpiece holder (116) is adapted to be detachably engaged with at least one wireless earpiece module (120); and wherein the at least one battery pack (112) of the neck-band or neck-loop module (110) is configured to supply power to the at least one wireless earpiece module (120) via the at least one earpiece holder (116).

An improved methodology for binaural rendering of audio signals that are perceived by a user to originate from a real-world spatial location is disclosed. Embodiments enable personalized HRTF selection from among a data store containing a plurality of candidate HRTFs using an evaluation-based personalization strategy. One or more relational models personalize the selection. These relational models can relate candidate HRTFs to each other and a particular user to other users so that only a subset of the candidate HRTFs require evaluation. Candidate HRTFs can be evaluated according to one or more selection policies, and relational models can be updated based on actual responses from a user to virtual audio signals that are rendered by a candidate HRTF.
