  • Publication number: 20230194961
    Abstract: A camera system with six faces and a front housing is configured to capture images and audio content from external the camera body. The camera system includes an interior audio assembly protected from external environments by a waterproof membrane. The camera system includes drainage ports on the bottom face and the left face of the camera system to encourage moisture to drain from the system. A first drainage channel couples the internal audio assembly to the first drainage port on left face of the camera system and a second drainage channel couples the drainage port on the left face of the camera system to the drainage port on the bottom face of the camera system. A third drainage channel exists between the front face of the camera system and the front housing, the third drainage channel coupling the first and second drainage channels.

  • Publication number: 20230142400
    Abstract: The technology provides for an electronic device. The electronic device includes a housing, a display cover, and a modular component configured to provide a seal between the housing to the display cover. The modular component is configured to be attached to the housing. Further, the modular component includes a first surface configured to be attached to the display cover. The modular component includes a channel extending along the first surface, where the channel is configured to hold a liquid adhesive that bonds with the display cover. The modular component further includes a radial protrusion disposed on the first surface, the radial protrusion is configured to be in contact with the display cover when the display cover is attached to the housing and to prevent the liquid adhesive from moving out of the channel.

  • Publication number: 20220303675
    Abstract: A camera with image and audio capture capabilities is configured to protect the internal audio components from the external environment. The camera includes a housing that allows passage of sound waves via a port from an external area of the camera to an internal area of the camera. The camera includes a circuit board with an opening and a microphone attached to a first surface of the circuit board adjacent to the opening. The camera includes a compressible spacer attached to a second surface of the circuit board. The second surface of the circuit board may be diametrically opposite to the first surface. The camera includes a waterproof membrane between the housing and the compressible spacer.

  • Patent number: 10674256
    Abstract: A camera system with image and audio capture capabilities is configured to protect the internal audio components from the external environment. The camera system includes an internal audio assembly with a microphone and an audio circuit board. The audio circuit board is structured such that a gap exists within the board that allows transmission of sound waves from external the environment to the microphone. The audio assembly also includes a compressible annulus, a support annulus, and a waterproof membrane coupled by a support structure. The waterproof membrane protects the internal components from moisture while still allowing transmission of sound waves. The support structure, compressible annulus, support annulus, and audio circuit board are structured such that a gap exists above the microphone and underneath the waterproof membrane.

  • Patent number: 9389487
    Abstract: A protective lens attachment is configured to couple to a camera lens ring to protect a camera lens during operation. The protective lens attachment can include a compressible structure, on which a force is exerted by a camera lens ring when the camera lens ring is inserted into the protective lens attachment. The compressible structure is configured to exert a reciprocal force onto the camera lens ring, creating a friction force between the compressible structure and the camera lens ring, and securely coupling the protective lens attachment to the camera lens ring.
