REFRIGERATOR
Disclosed herein is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a main body including a storage compartment, a door body rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close the storage compartment, and a front panel detachably coupled to the door body. The door body includes an upper cap including a trim receiving space. The front panel includes an upper trim inserted into the trim receiving space. A voice path is formed in the upper cap and a microphone module is provided in the upper trim to receive voice through the voice path.
MICROPHONE ISOLATION MOUNT
The present invention relates generally to microphone mounts and more particularly to an isolation mount for a microphone having an address axis. The isolation mount may include a base configured to attach to an object, a mounting assembly adapted to securely receive the microphone, and a suspension element extending between the base and the mounting assembly. The suspension element may include a first end affixed to the base, a second end affixed to the mounting assembly and a rolling spring extending therebetween, wherein the rolling spring is arranged to form an arc having an opening substantially aligned to the address axis of the microphone. Advantageously, the isolation mount may be configured to have a lowered resonant frequency, to provide a high level of compliance in at least one direction, and to provide a greater degree of energy absorption.
High-sensitivity piezoelectric microphone
A piezoelectric microphone, includes: a wafer substrate including a cavity; a plurality of cantilever beams with a piezoelectric deck structure; a fixed column; a plurality of flexible elastic members; and a connecting section. The plurality of cantilever beams each includes a fixed end and a free end suspended above the cavity. The plurality of cantilever beams is of a structure in which one end is narrow and the other end is wide, and the fixed end is relatively narrow. The fixed column is disposed at the center of the bottom surface of the cavity. The fixed ends of the plurality of cantilever beams are all connected to the top surface of the fixed column. A gap is provided between every two adjacent cantilever beams. The plurality of flexible elastic members is connected to free ends of two adjacent cantilever beams to enable the cantilever beams to vibrate synchronously.
Electroacoustic transducer
An electroacoustic transducer includes a diaphragm, a frame disposed to surround a rim portion of the diaphragm, a front support body and a rear support body that couple the diaphragm and the frame, and a magnetic circuit provided with an annular magnetic gap facing a rear face of the diaphragm. The electroacoustic transducer further includes a voice coil body having a rear end disposed in the magnetic gap and a front end coupled to the diaphragm.
Top port multi-part surface mount silicon condenser microphone
A surface mount package for a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) microphone die is disclosed. The surface mount package features a substrate with metal pads for surface mounting the package to a device's printed circuit board and for making electrical connections between the microphone package and the device's circuit board. The surface mount microphone package has a cover, and the MEMS microphone die is substrate-mounted and acoustically coupled to an acoustic port provided in the surface mount package. The substrate and the cover are joined together to form the MEMS microphone, and the substrate and cover cooperate to form an acoustic chamber for the substrate-mounted MEMS microphone die.
Mic structure and electronic device including the same
An electronic device according to various embodiments may include: a housing, an acoustic hole formed in a first direction of the housing, an instrument installed in the housing in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a mic, and a mic holder including a body installed in the housing, a seat formed in the body part to receive the mic, a first opening formed in one surface of the body and connected to the seat, a second opening formed in another surface of the body, and a third opening formed in the body and connected to the acoustic hole. As the second opening of the mic holder is closed by an instrument of the electronic device closely attached to the other surface of the body part, an acoustic channel in which a sound introduced into the third opening is delivered to a mic hole of the mic may be formed.
AUDIO ENHANCEMENTS IN MOTOR-DRIVEN DEVICES
A handheld image stabilization device with a housing, a gimbal, a motor, a printed circuit board (PCB), a microphone, and a dampener. The gimbal has three arms. The motor assembly has multiple motors such that respective ones of the multiple motors are located on respective ones of the three arms. The microphone is attached to a surface of the PCB and configured to detect audio waves, wherein the audio waves include acoustic noise from the motor assembly. The dampener is disposed between the motor assembly and the PCB, wherein the dampener is configured to reduce the acoustic noise from the motor assembly.
Loudspeaker Enclosure with Closeable Port
A loudspeaker device comprising a loudspeaker unit comprising a diaphragm with a first and second surface (such as the front and rear surface of the diaphragm, respectively) and an enclosure in which the loudspeaker unit is mounted such that the first surface of the diaphragm is in acoustic communication with the surroundings of the loudspeaker device. The device further comprises an internal cavity formed in the enclosure and being in acoustic communication with the surroundings of the loudspeaker device via an acoustic element. In the device, the second surface of the diaphragm is in acoustic communication with the internal cavity. The acoustic element can be varied between a state in which sound energy generated by the loudspeaker unit in the internal cavity can be emitted to the surroundings via the acoustic element and a state in which sound energy is substantially prevented from entering the surroundings via the acoustic element.
Open Audio Device with Reduced Sound Attenuation
An open audio device with a housing that is configured to be worn on the torso and an acoustic transducer carried by the housing, the acoustic transducer configured to either radiate sound outwardly of the housing or convert received sound into an electrical signal. A structure is coupled to the housing. The structure is proximate to the acoustic transducer. The structure is constructed and arranged to inhibit radiated sound or received sound from being interrupted by a flexible sheet material, such as clothing, located over the housing.
