DYNAMIC WIND NOISE COMPRESSION TUNING
An image capture device with dynamic wind noise compression tuning techniques is described. A technique includes detecting of the presence of wind noise by measuring coherence between at least two microphones. For a compressor, adjusting a default compression threshold and default compression parameters based on the coherence measurements. For each microphone, applying by the compressor the adjusted compression parameters when an audio signal is above the adjusted compression threshold and applying the default compression parameters when the audio signal is below the adjusted compression threshold.
Electroacoustic Transducer
A electroacoustic transducer includes a housing, a piezoelectric element, a partition wall, a first tube, and a second tube. The piezoelectric element is disposed in the housing and includes a porous film and a pair of electrodes that sandwich the porous film therebetween. The partition wall divides an inner space of the housing into a first space closer to one of the pair of electrodes, and a second space closer to another of the pair of electrodes. The first tube establishes communication between a sound wave emission opening that is open to an outer space of the housing and the first space. The second tube establishes communication between the sound wave emission opening and the second space.
Electroacoustic Transducer
An electroacoustic transducer includes a housing, one or more partition walls, a diaphragm, and a tube. The one or more partition walls divide an inner space of the housing into a plurality of spaces, such that a volume of a first of the plurality of spaces is different from a volume of a second of the plurality of spaces except the first of the plurality of spaces. The diaphragm is disposed in the housing, such that one surface thereof faces the plurality of spaces. The tube establishes communication between a sound wave emission opening that is open to an outer space of the housing and each of the plurality of spaces.
HELMHOLTZ-RESONATOR FOR MICROPHONE ASSEMBLY
A sensor assembly includes a housing having an external-device interface and a sound port to an interior to the housing. A transducer and an electrical circuit are disposed within the housing. The transducer is acoustically coupled to the sound port while the electrical circuit is electrically coupled to the transducer and the external-device interface. A cavity is formed in a portion of the sensor assembly. In some embodiments, the portion is a base of the housing of the sensor assembly. In other embodiments, the portion is a sound port adapter coupled to the sensor assembly. In any case, the cavity is acoustically coupled to the interior of the housing via the sound port and includes a wall portion structured to modify an acoustic property of the sensor assembly.
EARPHONE WITH SOLID BODY
In an embodiment, an earphone having a solid earphone body is provided. A first mounting recess is formed in a first end of the earphone body. A first acoustic driver is disposed in the first mounting recess. At least a first sound bore is formed in the solid earphone body. The at least a first sound bore fluidly communicates with the first mounting recess and a first exit port formed at a second end of the earphone body. The second end of the earphone body is configured to be placed in an ear canal of a user. The earphone can be fabricated by a method that includes defining negative spaces for the first acoustic driver and the at least a first sound bore in a virtual model of the earphone body.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUPPRESSING SOUND LEAKAGE
A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.
Microphone cavity
An apparatus includes a printed wiring board (PWB) that defines an aperture. A microphone is mounted on the PWB such that the aperture provides an acoustic path to the microphone. An acoustic interface member defines a cavity that is acoustically coupled to the microphone via the aperture. A first gasket between the printed wiring board and the acoustic interface member forms an acoustic seal. A housing is included, and a second gasket is disposed between the acoustic interface member and the housing to form an acoustic seal. An acoustic chamber is defined by a sealed volume that extends from a first (bottom/inner) surface of the housing down to a junction between the microphone and the PWB. The housing defines apertures which provide an acoustic path between a region external to the housing and the acoustic chamber. The acoustic chamber and the apertures in the housing form a Helmholtz resonator.
Circumaural headset or headphones with adjustable biometric sensor
A headset includes a circumaural assembly having an adjustable sensor mount configured to secure a sensor forward of the tragus of a user. The mount is movable relative to the assembly to position the sensor in contact with or proximal to the user skin. The mount may extend from an interior side or flat component of the assembly into an opening of a circumaural cushion. The sensor mount may include a resilient support arm or structure extending from behind a circumaural cushion, or integrated into the cushion, to urge the sensor into contact with the user. The mount may include a spring-biased rotatable knob having an eccentrically located aperture configured to secure the sensor, and rotatable to position the sensor. Sensor signals may be processed to detect blood flow, heart rate, etc. and/or movement, such as jaw movement indicative of talking for use in automatically muting an associated microphone.
Dynamic receiver with resonance protector for earphone
A dynamic receiver for an earphone is provided. The dynamic receiver has a Helmholtz resonance space provided on a protector. The dynamic receiver includes: a frame; a magnetic circuit disposed in the frame; a vibration system disposed in the frame and configured to generate sound by a mutual electromagnetic force with the magnetic circuit; and a protector coupled to the frame and configured to protect components disposed in the frame. The protector includes a sound emitting hole passing through the protector and emitting sound generated in the frame to the outside, and a resonance space defined on a top surface of the protector.
