Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.

Abstract: A method for the production of cellulose films with at least one hydrophobic or less hydrophilic surface, or with at least one surface with a water contact angle (?) in a range from 55° to less than 100° is described. The method involves contacting the cellulose material with a hydrophobic solid material during the preparation of the cellulose films or with a vapour of a non-polar or polar aprotic solvent during or after the preparation of the cellulose films. Examples of the cellulose material are cellulose filaments (CF) made to have at least 50% by weight of the filaments having a filament length up to 350 ?m and a filament diameter between 100 and 500 nm from multi-pass, high consistency refining of wood or plant fibers, and commercially-available sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Examples of the hydrophobic solid material are hydrophobic polymers, poly(methylpentene) and poly(ethylene). Examples of the non-polar solvent are hexane and toluene.

Abstract: The present invention describes a composition and a method for producing mesoporous silica materials with a chiral organization. In the method, a polymerizable inorganic monomer is reacted in the presence of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) to give a material of inorganic solid with cellulose nanocrystallites embedded in a chiral nematic organization. The NCC can be removed to give a stable porous structure that retains the chiral organization of the NCC template. The new materials may be obtained as iridescent free-standing films with high surface area. Through control of the reaction conditions, the color of the films can be varied across the entire visible spectrum. These are the first materials to combine mesoporosity with long-range chiral ordering that leads to photonic properties.
