  • Publication number: 20230362538
    Abstract: A camera system with a camera body, a loudspeaker grille, a loudspeaker assembly, a waterproof membrane, and a support structure. The loudspeaker grille allows passage of sound waves from inside to outside the camera body. The loudspeaker assembly has a loudspeaker that converts a signal into the sound waves; and an audio circuit board that processes an audio signal into the signal. The waterproof membrane prevents moisture from passing into the camera body while allowing the sound waves to pass through. The support structure is located between the waterproof membrane and the loudspeaker assembly. A compressible spacer is coupled to the loudspeaker assembly. A loudspeaker adhesive connects the compressible spacer and the loudspeaker. A loudspeaker housing is configured to supporting the loudspeaker assembly, the loudspeaker grille, the waterproof membrane, and the support structure. A first loudspeaker cavity exists between the loudspeaker grille and the waterproof membrane.

  • Patent number: 11706563
    Abstract: A camera system includes an internal loudspeaker assembly for emitting sound waves from the interior of the camera body to the exterior of the camera body through external ports using internal electronic components. Some components of the loudspeaker assembly are sensitive to wet conditions and are protected from the environment by a membrane. The membrane and its support structures are configured to allow the sound waves to translate through the membrane and external to the camera body in both wet and dry environments. The loudspeaker assembly includes a support structure that prevents the membrane from deforming to the point of breaking or to the point of contacting the loudspeaker when submerged.

  • Patent number: 10795112
    Abstract: To compensate for this change in focal length due to a temperature change, an integrated image sensor and lens assembly includes a shift measurement module to measure a shift between optical elements to which the shift measurement module is coupled. The measured shift between optical elements is used to determine a shift of the focal plane in reference to the image plane. Optical aberration resulting from the shift of the focal plane in reference to the image plane may further be compensated.

  • Patent number: 8922983
    Abstract: A metal support structure for a mobile device includes a substantially flat front side configured to support a display and a back side having a lattice structure configured to provide rigidity to the mobile device while keeping a weight below a weight threshold, and to support a logic board. The metal support structure further includes a plurality of slots around a periphery of the metal support structure, configured to permit emitters for an infrared touch sensor mounted on the logic board to project infrared beams to receivers mounted on the logic board.

  • Patent number: 8861198
    Abstract: A frame for a mobile device includes a metal region and a plastic region. The metal region has a plurality of sides, wherein at least one side of the plurality of sides comprises a plurality of voids. The plastic region comprises glass impregnated plastic and has a mechanical bond to the at least one side of the metal region, wherein the mechanical bond is achieved via protrusions of the plastic region that fill the plurality of voids in the at least one side.
