  • Patent number: 10084501
    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing a mobile device cover are described. In some embodiments, the mobile device cover may include, for example, an acoustic sensor, a processor, and lighting devices. The processor can be operatively coupled to the acoustic sensor and the lighting devices. The acoustic sensor can be configured to receive sound generated by the mobile phone and to convert the sound into an acoustic signal. The processor can be configured to receive the acoustic signal and to determine whether the acoustic signal is similar to one of a plurality of acoustic signals previously stored on the mobile phone cover. Each of the previously stored acoustic signals can be indicative of, for example, a particular caller, a particular message sender, or a particular alert. Based on the acoustic signal determination, the processor is configured to cause lighting of the one or more lighting devices corresponding to the indicated caller, indicated message sender, or indicated alert.

  • Patent number: 9999287
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging container with a smearing component, which includes a container body, a smearing component, a sealing cap and a buckle. The sealing cap engages with the container body and the container body is entirely sealed by the sealing cap. The smearing component is rotatably arranged around an opening end of the container body. A part of the buckle plug is fixed on the container body, the other part thereof matches with an end of the smearing component, and the smearing component is positioned in an axial direction by the buckle plug and the container body. The advantages of the packaging container can be achieved by the smearing component being arranged on a rolling rod of the liquid outlet of the container body and the smearing component being positioned on the container body in the axial direction by means of the buckle plug.

  • Patent number: 9571950
    Abstract: Systems and methods of audio reproduction are described. In one embodiment, one or more processors can be configured, for example, to receive an L channel signal and an R channel signal, to combine the L channel signal and the R channel signal, to average the combined signal, to detect an impulse signal in the averaged signal, to multiply the impulse signal, to scale the multiplied impulse signal, and to add the scaled impulse signal to the averaged signal to form a resultant signal. Sound can be generated, for example, by speakers based on at least the resultant signal.
