Patent number: 9247348Abstract: A speaker includes a frame, a sound radiating surface, and a suspension that couples the sound radiating surface to the frame. A horizontal former is coupled to the radiating surface. The former extends substantially horizontally outward of a peripheral portion of the radiating surface, to a peripheral portion that is separate from the suspension. A coil is coupled to the peripheral portion of the horizontal former.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Christopher Raymond Wilk

Patent number: 8682020Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile device including a magnet unit that is thermally coupled to the heat sink portion of a housing of the mobile device is disclosed. The mobile device comprises a speaker driver that includes a magnet unit, a housing having a heat sink portion that is made of a material having a high thermal conductivity, and a thermal component. The heat sink portion has a first face that is coupled to the speaker driver and a second face that is exposed to the exterior of the mobile device. The thermal component binds the speaker driver to the first face of the heat sink portion to create a cooling path from the magnet unit to the exterior of the mobile device. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher Raymond Wilk, Ruchir M. Dave, Sawyer I. Cohen

Patent number: 8243229Abstract: A low profile display enclosure system for enclosing a display device for viewing that protects the display device from environmental effects and is configured to dissipate heat generated within the display enclosure. The substantially sealed display enclosure comprises a rigid bezel, a substantially transparent front cover coupled to the bezel, and a rear cover assembly that includes a heat sink portion. The thickness of the bezel is minimized to provide the enclosure with a low profile about the periphery of the display device enclosed therein. Thermal control devices may be mounted within the enclosure to modulate a temperature within the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2011Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Ciil Technologies, LLCInventors: Jerry Moscovitch, Luther V.
