  • Thin-film acoustic imaging system for imaging through an exterior surface of an electronic device housing
    Patent number: 11950512
    Abstract: An acoustic imaging system coupled to a sensing plate to define an imaging surface. The acoustic imaging system includes an array of piezoelectric acoustic transducers coupled to the sensing plate opposite the imaging surface and formed using a thin-film manufacturing process over an application-specific integrated circuit that, in turn, is configured to leverage the array of piezoelectric actuators to generate an image of an object at least partially wetting to the imaging surface.

  • Enclosure with integrated lifting mechanism for antennas
    Patent number: 11450950
    Abstract: An antenna assembly has a main body configured to receive an antenna, and an uninterrupted top cap attached to the main body. The uninterrupted top cap has an outer surface. A lifting assembly is attached to at the outer surface of said top cap without penetrating the cap. Accordingly, the uninterrupted cap forms an unbroken whole. The uninterrupted cap is continuous without any through-holes or other perturbances or features that extend through the cap or otherwise might allow fluid to pass through the cap into an interior of the main body.
