Abstract: An imaging platform for capturing multiple views is provided. The imaging platform includes a desktop base, an upright element having a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to the desktop base, a first camera and a second camera positioned on at least one protruding element coupled to the upright element, the second camera facing the desktop base, a control panel for selecting a selection of a plurality of different outputs, and a processor. The processor obtains at least one camera output from the first camera and/or the second camera based on the selection of the plurality of outputs on the control panel, and provides a processed output based on the selection of the plurality of outputs on the control panel.

Abstract: A portable speaker having at least one driver mounted in a first enclosure and a second enclosure separate from the first enclosure and having pivotally mounted to it the first enclosure. The second enclosure has all electronics, controls and a battery compartment. The first enclosure is moveable relative to the second enclosure between a first configuration and a second configuration, the at least one driver being protected by the second enclosure when the first enclosure is in the first configuration.

Abstract: A satellite speaker system includes a side firing low mid driver mounted in a sub-enclosure which is vented into a second sub-enclosure through an acoustic resistance vent and to a third sub-enclosure through a variable aperture second vent. The vents further serve as pivots to allow the side-firing speaker to be rotated through a predetermined range, simultaneously varying the aperture of the second vent. The pivots are isolated by o-rings to provide an airtight seal to the sub-enclosures, as well as to provide vibration control. Third, fourth and fifth resistively damped vents allow the first and second sub-enclosure to establish acoustic communication with the environment. The front firing driver/s that reproduces the mid and high frequencies are mounted in a fourth sub-enclosure.

Abstract: A portable speaker system for use with a laptop computer is configured for attachment to a screen of a laptop computer or alternatively for a free standing configuration. The speaker system includes an acoustic chamber for containment of the sound reproducing mechanism, a second chamber, and a damped hinge mechanism for movable connecting the acoustic chamber and the second chamber.
