  • Publication number: 20240107689
    Abstract: Various implementations include electronic devices with internal joints cured by a light source. In a particular implementation, an electronic device includes: a casing defining an enclosure; a joint between components in the electronic device; a light curable adhesive bonding the components at the joint; and at least one light source internal to the casing and configured to output light for at least partially curing the light curable adhesive in the casing.

  • Publication number: 20230275617
    Abstract: Various implementations include audio devices such as earbuds or earpieces. In certain cases, an audio devices includes a set of earbuds configured to generate a magnetic field. The audio device also includes a case for docking the set of earbuds. The case includes: a Hall effect sensor for detecting proximity to at least one of the earbuds based on the magnetic field; and a power source for charging the set of earbuds while docked in the case. Additional implementations include independent couplings for earbuds or earpieces.

  • Patent number: 11592304
    Abstract: Various implementations include approaches for training a surface detection classifier and detecting characteristics of a surface, along with related micromobility vehicles. Certain implementations include a method including: comparing: i) detected movement of a micromobility (MM) vehicle or a device located with a user at the MM vehicle while operating the MM vehicle, with ii) a surface detection classifier for the MM vehicle; and in response to detecting that the MM vehicle is traveling on a restricted surface type for a threshold period, performing at least one of: a) notifying an operator of the MM vehicle about the travel on the restricted surface type, b) outputting a warning at an interface connected with the MM vehicle or the device, c) limiting a speed of the MM vehicle, or d) disabling operation of the MM vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11058165
    Abstract: Various implementations include a wearable audio device for enhancing the acoustic response proximate a user, for example, in the direction of the user's mouth. In particular implementations, a wearable audio device includes: a head mount having: a crown portion for resting on a head of a user, and a brim extending from the crown portion in a forward-oriented direction; and a plurality of microphones coupled to the brim of the head mount.
