Patent number: 8873790Abstract: Non-occluding earbuds and methods for making the same are disclosed. The earbud has a non-occluding housing having a directional port positioned offset with respect to a center axis of the housing. The directional port may be constructed to project acoustic signals into the user's ear canal. In addition, the directional port can include separate openings or ports for different front volumes existing within the housing. Front and back volumes can exist for each speaker contained within the housing, and embodiments of this invention use a midmold structure that enables the front volumes to be tuned independently of each other.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Hayashida, Jonathan Aase, Julian Hoenig

Patent number: 8821678Abstract: A method includes forming an assembly of a first part of a computing device enclosure and a second part of the computing device enclosure by disposing a thermoplastic adhesive layer between a surface portion of the first part and an opposing surface portion of the second part. The surface portion of the first part and the opposing surface portion of the second part define one or more bonding areas of the first part and the second part across a lateral extent of the assembly. The assembly has a non-uniform thermal mass distribution across its lateral extent. The method further includes applying spatially varying amounts of heat to the assembly across its lateral extent to soften the thermoplastic adhesive layer in the bonding areas relatively uniformly across the lateral extent of the assembly compared to applying a non-spatially varying amount of heat across the lateral extent of the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michelle Yu, Jeffrey Hayashida
