  • Patent number: 11284187
    Abstract: A small-array MEMS (micro-electro mechanical system) microphone apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes first and second microphone modules. A first microphone of the first microphone module captures a first acoustic signal from a sound source through a first acoustic hole. A second microphone of the second microphone module captures a second acoustic signal from the sound source through a second acoustic hole. A first integrated circuit performs a first logic operation on the first acoustic signal and the second acoustic signal to generate a first sum acoustic signal. The first integrated circuit performs a sampling delay on the second acoustic signal with a first clock signal, and subtracts the delayed second acoustic signal from the first acoustic signal to obtain a first differential acoustic signal. The first differential acoustic signal has a first directivity. A second integrated circuit bypasses and outputs the second acoustic signal which is omnidirectional.

  • Patent number: 8259985
    Abstract: A speaker set configured for a portable electronic device includes a hollow shell, a back cover, and a loudspeaker sandwiched between the shell of the back cover. The shell includes a first chamber, a second chamber, a third chamber and a fourth chamber. The second and third chambers are positioned at opposite sides of the first chamber, and communicate with a surrounding environment at opposite sides of the shell. The loudspeaker is accommodated in the first chamber, and divides the first chamber into a front sub-chamber and a rear sub-chamber. The front sub-chamber communicates with the second and the third chambers thereby forming a front resonance chamber. The rear sub-chamber communicates with the fourth chamber thereby forming a rear resonance chamber. Sound waves generated from the loudspeaker are transmitted to and resonate in the front and rear resonance chambers and then transmitted to the surrounding environment in opposite directions.

  • Patent number: 8054982
    Abstract: A sound signal generator testing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a hermetic seal (2), a sound signal input unit (4), and at least a noise suppression unit (5). The sound signal input unit is for receiving sound signals transmitted from a sound signal generator (1) under testing. Each noise suppression unit includes a sound signal input unit, a low pass filter, an inverter, and an output. The sound signal input unit is for receiving sound signals. The low pass filter is for filtering the sound signals by passing the low frequencies of the sound signals that are below a predetermined value. The inverter is for inverting phases of the sound signals transmitted from the low pass filter and producing inverted sound signals. The output unit is placed behind the sound signal input unit for outputting the inverted sound signals.

  • Patent number: 7894620
    Abstract: A mobile phone and an acoustic box structure thereof are provided. The mobile phone includes a shell containing a printed circuit board (PCB) and a hidden antenna therein. The acoustic box structure is disposed between the PCB and the hidden antenna. The acoustic box structure includes a main body, a loudspeaker accommodated in the main body and a frame located between the PCB and the main body. Due to the design of the frame, a hermetic space is framed between the PCB and the main body, thereby preventing sound waves generated by the loudspeaker from leaking out via a gap between the main body and the PCB. Furthermore, the frame made of shockproof materials decreases the resonant transfer between the PCB and the loudspeaker. Consequently, the quality of the sound made by the mobile phone is improved.
