  • Patent number: 11076247
    Abstract: An acoustic receiver employs one or more housing endplates recessed below an edge of a sidewall of the housing. In some implementations, a cured b-stage material is disposed in a recess along an interface between an endplate and a sidewall of the housing, wherein the cured b-stage material acoustically seals at least a portion of the housing. In some implementations, both a top housing endplate and a bottom housing endplate are recessed and have cured b-stage material disposed in respective recesses along an interface between the endplates and housing sidewalls wherein the cured b-stage material acoustically seals a top and bottom portion of the housing.

  • Patent number: 11076510
    Abstract: A heat-management device includes an array of recesses distributed across an external surface of a thermally conductive body. The device includes an array of protrusions interspersed with the array of recesses that form a network of cavities within an internal volume of the thermally conductive body. The array of recesses and the array of protrusions define a non-planar interface that is complementary to a curved surface of a heat source. A fluid volume can be retained within the network of cavities at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. The heat management device includes a cooling operation mode wherein the fluid volume absorbs heat from the heat source through the non-planar interface and dissipates heat away from the heat source through the network of cavities.
