A modular speaker (100) includes a main module (200) defining a speaker (20) and including a cabinet (21) extending along a longitudinal axis (X) between a first and a second end (21a, 21b), a sound transducer (22), provided at the first end (21a) of the cabinet (21) and a connection circuit (23), provided at the second end (21b) of the cabinet (21). The modular speaker (100) also includes a rear module (300) selectable from a plurality of rear modules (300) and connectable reversibly to the second end (21b) of the cabinet (21) and a front module (400), defining an acoustic accessory selectable from a plurality of front modules (400) and connectable reversibly to the first end (21a) of the cabinet (21).

A wireless speaker and camera assembly includes a remote control for storing data comprising a remote control program. A housing is included and a speaker is integrated into the housing to emit audible sound outwardly therefrom. A camera is integrated into the housing to capture images of the environment in which the housing is positioned. A transceiver is integrated into the housing and the transceiver is in communication with the speaker and the camera. Additionally, the transceiver is in remote communication with the remote control to send and receive audio data and image data with respect to the remote control thereby facilitating the speaker to stream audio received from the remote control.

A MEMS speaker can include an electrostatically driven, corrugated MEMS structure to move air without a magnet, coil, or traditional speaker membrane, and thus provide a low-power, compact speaker with a large acoustically active area in a small volume. Neighboring folds in the corrugated MEMS structure may form pairs of MEMS electrodes that can be pushed together and/or pulled apart to deform the MEMS structure in a breathing motion that generates pressure differentials on opposing sides of the corrugated MEMS structure to generate sound.

An information processing method in an interactive apparatus that questions a user's symptom through interaction with a user includes: outputting first question information of a first type concerning the user's symptom to a display or a speaker connected to the interactive apparatus, receiving first answer information indicating an answer to the question in the first question information from a keyboard, a touch panel, or a microphone connected to the interactive apparatus, outputting second question information of the first type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information does not include a word in a negative expression, and outputting third question information of a second type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information includes the word in the negative expression.

Provided is a speaker box, including a housing having a receiving space and a speaker unit received therein. The housing extends into the receiving space to form a support wall. The speaker unit is supported by and fixed to the support wall. The housing has a sound output hole. The speaker unit includes a frame, a vibration system and magnetic circuit unit fixed to the frame, and a front cover covering the frame. The front cover is supported by and fixed to the support wall. The front cover includes a main body portion located above the vibration system, a side edge portion and a fixed portion covering the frame. The fixed portion is supported by and fixed to the support wall. The front cover has a through hole running through both the main body portion and the side edge portion. The speaker box has excellent sound quality.

A display assistant device comprises a display, a camera, a speaker, microphones, a processor and memory. The memory stores programs comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, enable a plurality of modes of the display assistant device. The modes include a monitoring mode and an assistant mode. In the monitoring mode, the device is configured to perform a remote monitoring function in which first video captured by the camera is streamed to a remote server system for monitoring uses. The monitoring uses include transmission of the first video to remote client devices authorized to access the first video. In the assistant mode, the device is configured to perform a second plurality of functions that excludes the monitoring function and includes a video communication function in which second video captured by the camera is transmitted to second devices participating in a video communication with a first user of the device.

The present disclosure provides a microspeaker enclosure including a block formed of a porous material. The microspeaker enclosure includes a microspeaker, an enclosure case in which the microspeaker is mounted, the enclosure case including a back volume communicating with the microspeaker, and a porous block installed in the back volume and prepared by mixing first porous particles having excellent adsorption capacity of nitrogen or oxygen and second porous particles having a porosity of 50% or more.

An image capture device includes a housing having a pattern of apertures and a membrane assembly. The membrane assembly includes a support that has internal and external surfaces and a channel that aligns with at least one aperture of the pattern of apertures and extends between the internal and external surfaces. The membrane assembly includes indents that are adjacent to the channel, aligned with the pattern of apertures, and disposed on the external surface. The indents have a depth that is less than a depth of the channel.

An ultrasonic speaker comprises a case that has an opened top surface and includes a plurality of protrusions protruding inward on an inner side surface of the case, a piezoelectric element fixed to a bottom surface in the case, and a substrate that is inserted in the case and placed on upper surfaces of the plurality of protrusions.

A speaker device for reproducing sound within a predetermined audio spectrum is provided. The speaker device comprises: a housing including a top, a bottom, and a side surface; at least one speaker disposed within the housing, the at least one speaker including a speaker flange facing towards the bottom; a waveguide including at least a first surface defining at least one sound channel for conducting a given sound produced by the at least one speaker, and the at least one channel includes a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone sequentially defined along a length thereof to provide for sound reproduction from 100 Hz to 20000 Hz.
