Patent number: 11836009Abstract: This application is directed to a display assistant device that acts as a voice-activated user interface device. The display assistant device includes a base, a screen and a rear speaker. The base is configured for sitting on a surface. The screen has a rear surface and is supported by the base at the rear surface. A bottom edge of the screen is configured to be held above the surface by a predefined height, and the base is substantially hidden behind the screen from a front view of the display assistant device. The rear speaker is concealed inside the base and oriented to project sound towards the rear side of the base.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Justin Leong, Xiapoing Qin, Christen Cameron Bilger, Philip Hobson Boothby, Frances Kwee, Matthew Michael Seflic, James Castro

Publication number: 20220404864Abstract: This application is directed to a speaker assembly in which a speaker is mounted in an enclosure structure. The enclosure structure exposes a speaker opening of the speaker and provides a sealed enclosure for a rear portion of the speaker, and further includes an electrically conductive portion. One or more electronic components are coupled to the electrically conductive portion of the enclosure structure (which is grounded in some implementations). The electrically conductive portion of the enclosure structure is configured to provide electromagnetic shielding for the electronic components and forms part of the sealed enclosure of the speaker. In some implementations, the electrically conductive portion of the enclosure structure is thermally coupled to the electronic components and acts as a heat sink that is configured to absorb heat generated by the electronic components and dissipate the generated heat away from the electronic components.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Xiaoping Qin, Christen Cameron Bilger, Frederic Heckmann, Frances Kwee, Justin Leong, James Castro

Patent number: 11209873Abstract: In a display assistant device, a display panel assembly has a plurality of first retention elements, and each first retention element is formed on a rear surface of the display panel assembly and adjacent to a respective first edge of the display panel assembly. A back cover is configured to hold the display panel assembly using a plurality of second retention elements. Each second retention element is arranged adjacent to a respective second edge of the back cover. When mated to each other, the first and second retention elements are configured to control an in-plane displacement of each second edge of the back cover in response to an impact of a force on the second edges, thereby limiting an out-of-plane displacement of each second edge of the back cover and protecting the first edges of the display panel assembly from falling apart from the second edges of the back cover.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: James Castro, Carl Cepress, Chih-Min Chien, Liang Cheng, Justin Leong, Xiaoping Qin

Patent number: 9232031Abstract: The structural rigidity of a device is improved by overmolding one or more layers of the device housing over the antenna components, improving overall wall thickness and avoiding air gaps present in conventional devices. Pull tabs are implemented for battery installation and removal using a stretch-release adhesive connected to the tabs that can hold the battery in place and, upon pulling of the pull tabs, cause the battery to be removable from the device. Camera sensors larger than the camera optics are usable in a device by utilizing only image data captured by those pixels of the sensor that correspond to the appropriate part of the camera optics. Mechanical interlocks can be used advantageously for alignment and connection strength for side soldering. Optical alignment processes are used advantageously in situations such as mounting a device camera relative to an opening of a light absorbing layer on a cover glass sheet.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Aviv Shoval, Troy Hulick, Justin Leong, Jeffrey Matasek, Dustin Tiffany, Shaun de la Fuente, Kevin Page, Albert Chua, Jacob Beatty, Adam Cybart
