  • Patent number: 8734602
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a magnesium based composite material. The magnesium based composite material includes a magnesium based metal matrix and nanoparticles dispersed in the magnesium based metal matrix in a weight percentage of a range from about 0.01% to about 2%. The present disclosure also relates to a method for making the magnesium based composite material. In the method, the nanoparticles are added to the magnesium based metal at a temperature of about 460° C. to about 580° C. to form a mixture. The mixture is ultrasonically vibrated at a temperature of about 620° C. to about 650° C. The mixture is casted at a temperature of about 650° C. to about 680° C., to form an ingot.

  • Publication number: 20130315432
    Abstract: An exemplary earphone unit includes an earphone, a plug, a box, and a lead. The lead includes a first section and a second section separate from the first section. The box includes a housing defining a first opening and a second opening, a disk mounted in the housing, a shaft fixed in the housing, a sleeve surrounding the shaft, and a spring connecting the shaft with the sleeve. The sleeve is rotatably disposed on the disk via two balls. The first section of the lead extends through the first opening to connect the plug with the disk. The second section is wound around the sleeve. The second section has one end fixed to the sleeve, and an opposite end extending through the second opening to connect the earphone. The spring accumulates elastic potential energy when the spring is pulled by the second section of the lead away from the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 8538046
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure and a speaker set received in the enclosure. The speaker set includes a shell, a pair of first and second speakers received in the shell. The first speakers provide high frequency acoustic output, and the second speakers provide low and middle frequency acoustic output. The shell includes a fixing plate. The fixing plate defines two tweet outlets aligning respectively with the first speakers, and two middle woof outlets aligning respectively with the second speakers. A central point of each middle woof outlet is located nearer to an imaginary central line of the fixing plate than a central point of each tweet outlet. A portion of each of the middle woof outlets is shaded by a portion of the electronic device. The tweet outlets are located beside the portion of the electronic device but not shaded by the portion.

  • Publication number: 20130070950
    Abstract: An exemplary earphone module includes a faceplate, a bottom cover connected to the top cover, and a microphone received between the faceplate and the bottom cover. The faceplate defines a sound hole therein. The microphone defines a Helmholtz resonance chamber therein. A washer is placed between the faceplate and the microphone. The washer has a sound chamber communicating the sound hole with the Helmholtz resonance chamber. The Helmholtz resonance chamber has a volume V, the sound hole has a diameter d and a length l, and the sound chamber has a diameter D. The diameter D of the sound chamber meets the equation D=d or the formula D ? 4 ? V ? ? ( l + 0.8 ? d ) .
