A lighting assembly includes a heat-sinking housing, a lens, a light source module including at least one LED, and an AC to DC converter to receive an AC voltage and supply regulated electrical energy to power the light source module. The housing includes a closed rear wall and a sidewall that defines a housing cavity containing the at least one LED. The closed rear wall and the sidewall are formed of a heat conductive material to conduct heat generated by the light source module. The assembly has a front end face, and at least one exterior width dimension of less than 3½ inches. In one example, a circular recess defined along an inner edge of the front end face contains the lens in the assembly. In another example, the front face includes a tool-less mating mechanism, for example a twist-and-lock mechanism comprising multiple flanges and/or slots.

The present disclosure provides an acoustic output apparatus. The acoustic output apparatus may include a bone-conduction acoustic assembly, an air-conduction acoustic assembly, and a housing. The bone-conduction acoustic assembly may be configured to generate bone-conduction sound waves. The air-conduction acoustic assembly may be configured to generate air-conduction sound waves. The housing may include an accommodating chamber configured to accommodate the bone-conduction acoustic assembly and the air-conduction acoustic assembly. At least a portion of the housing may be in contact with a user's skin to transmit the bone-conduction sound waves under an action of the bone-conduction acoustic assembly. The air-conduction sound waves may be generated based on vibrations of at least one of the housing or the bone-conduction acoustic assembly when the bone-conduction sound waves are generated.

Disclosed herein are a speaker device having a built-in microphone and a noise cancellation method using the same. The speaker device having the built-in microphone includes a microphone module picking up sound from a medium to generate a sound pickup signal, a speaker driver transmitting vibration corresponding to a reverse-phase signal of the sound pickup signal to tire medium, and a controller receiving the sound pickup signal from the microphone module, generating the reverse-phase signal of the sound pickup signal, and transmitting the reverse-phase signal to the speaker driver.

The present disclosure provides an acoustic output device comprising a bone conduction acoustic assembly used to generate a bone conduction acoustic wave; an air conduction acoustic assembly used to generate an air conduction acoustic wave; and a housing used to accommodate at least a portion of elements of the bone conduction acoustic assembly and the air conduction acoustic assembly. The housing includes a first chamber used to accommodate at least a portion of the bone conduction acoustic assembly; and a second chamber. The housing is provided with a sound outlet communicated with the second chamber. The air conduction acoustic wave is transmitted to an outside of the acoustic output device via the sound outlet. A frequency response curve of the air conduction acoustic wave has at least one resonance peak. A peak resonance frequency of the at least one resonance peak is greater than or equal to 1 kHz.

An audio system for providing content to a user. The system includes a first and a second transducer assembly of a plurality of transducer assemblies, an acoustic sensor, and a controller. The first transducer assembly couples to a portion of an auricle of the user's ear and vibrates over a first range of frequencies based on a first set of audio instructions. The vibration causes the portion of the ear to create a first range of acoustic pressure waves. The second transducer assembly is configured to vibrate over a second range of frequencies to produce a second range of acoustic pressure waves based on a second set of audio instructions. The acoustic sensor detects acoustic pressure waves at an entrance of the ear. The controller generates the audio instructions based on audio content to be provided to the user and the detected acoustic pressure waves from the acoustic sensor.
