Filed:

Sep 12, 2013

Appl. No.:

14/025438

Inventors:

- Stuttgart, DE
Michael J. Daley - Santa Clara CA, US

Assignee:

Robert Bosch GmbH - Stuttgart

International Classification:

G01N 29/14

US Classification:

73587

Abstract:

A method of testing a MEMS pressure sensor device such as, for example, a MEMS microphone package. The MEMS pressure sensor device includes a pressure sensor positioned within a housing and a pressure input port to direct acoustic pressure from outside the housing towards the pressure sensor. An acoustic pressure source is activated and acoustic pressure from the acoustic pressure source is directed to the pressure input port and to an exterior location of the housing other than the pressure input port. Based on the output signal of the pressure sensor, it is determined whether any defects exist that allow acoustic pressure to reach the pressure sensor through the exterior of the housing at locations other than the pressure input port.

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Michael Daley - Santa Clara CA, US

International Classification:

H04R 1/02
H04R 5/04

Abstract:

Embodiments are provided for an improved peripheral speaker. The peripheral speaker includes an exterior casing enclosing one or more drivers. The exterior casing further has a channel formed therein such that the channel is sized to removably secure an electronic device. The exterior casing is equipped with a connector lead which partially defines the cavity and that connects the one or more drivers to a port of the electronic device. The one or more drivers output audio according to an audio signal transmitted from the electronic device via the connector lead.

Appl. No.:

15/226553

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Michael Daley - Santa Clara CA, US

International Classification:

H04R 7/16
H04R 31/00
H04R 1/28

Abstract:

Embodiments are provided for devices for audio playback and configuring devices for audio playback. According to certain aspects, an electronic device is configured with an exterior casing that has a cutout area formed thereon. A vibrating panel is disposed within the cutout area and secured to the exterior casing such that the vibrating panel is substantially co-planar with the exterior casing. A transducer is disposed in proximity to the vibrating panel. When the transducer receives an audio signal, the transducer mechanically vibrates which causes the vibrating panel to actuate and produce audio output. The embodiments enable effective and efficient design and improve the user experience.
