Speaker integrated electronic device with speaker driven passive cooling
A passive cooling device is disclosed for use with a speaker integrated electronic device. Also disclosed is a method of using the device for generating passive cooling and increasing the sound output by the speaker integrated electronic device when outputting low frequency sound. The electronic device has an internal housing in which the speaker is located with a diaphragm extending through a void in the housing wall. The internal housing also has an air flow channel in fluid communication with the housing interior and an outlet adjacent an electronic component. Movement of the diaphragm directs moving air through the channel to reduce the operating temperature of the electronic component during speaker activation, while air movement in the internal housing increase the sound output by the speaker integrated electronic device.
Acoustic device
An acoustic device (1), comprises: a container (2); a passive resonator, including a suspension (3) connected to the container (2) and a radiator (4) connected to the suspension (3), where the suspension (3) is configured to allow the radiator (4) to vibrate relative to the container (2), a structure (5) having at least a first connecting point (51), where it is connected to the radiator (4), and a second connecting point (52), where it is connected to the container (2), the structure (5) being movable alternately between a first position and a second position, responsive to a vibration of the radiator (4); one or more masses (61, 62), spaced from the radiator (4) and associated with the vibrating structure (5).
SOUND-OUTPUT DEVICE
The present application discloses a sound-output device, a vibration speaker configured to generate a bone-conducted sound wave; and an air-conducted speaker configured to generate an air-conducted sound wave. The vibration speaker is coupled to the air-conducted speaker through a mechanical structure; and the bone-conducted sound wave is input to the air-conducted speaker at least in part as an input signal.
ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER
An acoustic transducer (30), comprising: a support structure (36); an active assembly comprising a base plate (32) supported by the support structure (36) and a piezoelectric body (34) supported by the base plate (32); and a passive vibrator (38) supported by the support structure (36) and coupled via the support structure (36) to the active assembly (32, 34) so that vibration of the active assembly (32, 34) drives the passive vibrator (38). The active assembly (32, 34) and the passive vibrator (38) have the same resonant frequency.
HIGH PITCH ENHANCED PASSIVE RADIATOR AND PASSIVE RADIATOR SPEAKER HAVING THE SAME
A high pitch enhanced passive radiator is adapted to be utilized in a passive radiator speaker. The high pitch enhanced passive radiator includes a shell, a woofer, and the passive radiator speaker. The shell has a first slot and a second slot. The woofer is connected to the first slot. The passive radiator speaker is connected to the second slot and includes a flange, a piezoelectric speaker, and a counterweight plate. The piezoelectric speaker is connected to the flange. The projected area of the counterweight plate and the projected area of the piezoelectric speaker at least partially overlap with each other.
System and method for providing advanced loudspeaker protection with over-excursion, frequency compensation and non-linear correction
In at least one embodiment, an audio amplifier system is provided. The system includes a loudspeaker and an audio amplifier. The loudspeaker transmits an audio output into a listening environment. The audio amplifier is programmed to receive an audio input signal and to generate an excursion signal corresponding to a first excursion level of the voice coil based on the audio input signal. The audio amplifier is further programmed to limit the excursion signal to reach a maximum excursion level and to determine a target pressure for an enclosure of the loudspeaker based on the maximum excursion level. The audio amplifier is further programmed to generate a target current signal based at least on the target pressure and to convert the target current signal into a target voltage signal to a target driving signal to drive the voice coil to reach the maximum excursion level.
PASSIVE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
A passive radiator assembly includes a surrounding unit and an inner radiator cone. The surrounding unit includes a top layer surrounding an axis, and a bottom layer being spaced apart from and disposed under the top layer, and surrounding the axis. The inner radiator cone interconnects the top layer and the bottom layer of the surrounding unit.
MICROPHONE SPEAKER WITH DUAL INDEPENDENT SOUND CHAMBERS
A microphone speaker with dual independent sound chambers is disclosed, including a housing, a microphone assembly arranged on the housing, a barrier that is formed in the housing and that divides the housing into two independent chambers, two speakers respectively embedded in two sides of the housing where the rear ends of the two speakers are respectively disposed in the two independent chambers, and two air holes that are defined in the side of the housing and that are respectively in communication with the two independent chambers, where the air flows generated when the speakers are sounding enter and exit the independent chambers through the respective air holes.
Signal limit based on detecting clipping
Example techniques may involve controlling a passive radiator. An implementation may include a device receiving, via a network interface, audio content and generating an audio signal representing the audio content. Generating the audio signal involves modifying portions of the audio content to limit excursion of the speaker driver to less than an excursion limit when a forward prediction model indicates that the portions of the audio content are predicted to cause the speaker driver to move beyond the excursion limit. While playing back the generated audio signal via the audio stage, the device detects, via a sensor, clipping of the speaker driver and generates a feedback signal based on the detected clipping of the speaker driver. The device adjusts the forward prediction model based on the generated feedback signal.
