Publication number: 20230412967Abstract: A modular audio system which includes an acoustic module (104) configured to be removably engaged with a head-worn peripheral device. In some examples, the head-worn peripheral device is a pair of eyeglass frames and the acoustic module is configured to removably secure to a socket arranged on the inside face of the temples of the eyeglasses. The acoustic module may be configured to magnetically engage with the peripheral device such that, in a resting, coupled position, respective components of magnetic retention force are provided in at least two axial directions that are orthogonal to each other i.e., a first component of magnetic retention force is provided in a first (horizontal) axial direction and a second component of magnetic retention force is provided in a second (vertical) axial direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2021Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: Colin Taylor Mosgrove, Nathan David Schaal

Publication number: 20230362527Abstract: Aspects describe a raised feature to help a user remove an in-ear audio output device from a case. Aspects describe a device comprising an earbud housing shaped to fit in a concha of an ear of a wearer of the device, and a body coupled to the earbud housing, the body extending away from an ear canal of the wearer and oriented outside of the ear when the device is worn, the body comprising a top cap comprising a flat external portion and a raised feature proximate to a concha cymba of the wearer and external to the ear when the device is worn.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Richmond Andrew REAL, Colin Taylor MOSGROVE

Patent number: 10771873Abstract: An audio device with charging contacts on a printed circuit board (PCB) is described herein. In some implementations, the charging contacts are on a surface of the PCB that is a bottom external surface of the audio device, thereby eliminating the need for a custom connector block. Thus, cost and height savings can be realized. In some implementations, the charging contacts are designed to enable 360 degree docking ability with a charging dock. This can be achieved using one or more ring-shaped charging contacts that make physical contact with spring-loaded pins on the charging dock in any relative axial alignment. In some implementations, the audio device includes a mating feature configured to mate with a mating feature of the charging dock to help ensure a proper charging connection is made and to help physically center the audio device relative to the charging dock.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Jason R. Pupecki, David Kaphammer, Colin Taylor Mosgrove

Patent number: 10652642Abstract: Various implementations include audio devices and components of such devices. In some particular cases, a keypad for an audio device includes a base having an array of circumferentially separated slots. The keypad further includes a set of light emitting diodes (LEDs) each located in a corresponding one of the slots in the base, and a cover over the base and the set of LEDs. The cover has a set of lenses each corresponding with one of the LEDs and forming a space over the corresponding LED to diffuse light from the corresponding LED, such that when powered, the set of LEDs is configured to provide a continuous ring of light around the keypad.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Evan Scott Rakusin, Colin Taylor Mosgrove
