  • Building Surface Product Including Attachment Clip, Building Surface System, and Method of Manufacture
    Publication number: 20220064961
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface products, for example, suitable for forming a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface product including a panel having a front surface, a rear surface, and a gypsum body between the front surface and rear surface. A first attachment clip is secured to the rear surface of the panel and includes a first leg extending outward from the rear surface of the panel. A retaining flange is coupled to the first leg and extends over the rear surface in a first direction. The retaining flange includes a slot that is configured to receive a post so as to secure the building surface product to a support structure. A first fastener that penetrates the rear surface of the panel is attached to the first leg so as to secure the attachment clip to the panel.

  • Electro-acoustic driver having compliant diaphragm with stiffening element
    Patent number: 9942662
    Abstract: An electro-acoustic driver includes a diaphragm formed of a compliant material, a bobbin configured to hold a winding of an electrical conductor and a housing having a housing axis that is substantially coaxial with the bobbin. The diaphragm is fixed to one end of the housing and has a substantially planar shape when the diaphragm is at rest. A stiffening element is fixed to an inner region of a surface of the diaphragm. A motion of the bobbin along a bobbin axis generates a movement of the inner region of the diaphragm to thereby generate an acoustic signal that propagates from the diaphragm.
