Abstract: Various implementations include methods and related tools for forming loudspeaker housings. In some implementations, these methods and tools can be used to form a loudspeaker housing having a non-circular shape. One method includes: forming a set of perforations along a first region of a wall of a hollow cylinder of material; and deforming the wall to a non-circular shape after forming the set of perforations.

Abstract: A system for retaining and storing an object, such as cut produce. By creating an air tight seal and preventing oxidizing air from reaching the insides of the fruit or vegetable, the system prolongs the lifespan of the produce, keeping it fresher, longer.

Abstract: 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.
