A solid imaging apparatus and method produces an integral three-dimensional object from a multiplicity of cross sectional portions of the object by selectively exposing successive layers of a liquid photoformable composition to actinic radiation. The apparatus includes a vessel for containing the composition so as to present a free surface, and a movable platform disposed within the vessel below the free surface. Part of the composition is transferred above the free surface by lowering and raising a dispenser at predetermined positions located away from the platform. A doctor blade contacts the composition transferred above the free surface, and then moves over the platform to form a substantially uniform layer of the composition.

A sound-transmissive cover assembly is disclosed which provides protection from the ambient environment to transducer devices, such as microphones, loudspeakers, buzzers, ringers and the like. The cover assembly has a microporous protective membrane that is captivated at the outer region near the edges between two adhesive support systems. An inner unbonded region surrounded by the bonded outer region is provided so that the protective membrane can displace or move in response to acoustic pressure waves. The protective membrane design in conjuction with the configuration allows sound energy to pass through the protective membrane with very low attenuation, while being able to withstand long-term exposure to liquid intrusion. An embodiment of the cover assembly includes an attached acoustic gasket so as to seal and focus acoustic energy to housing apertures or openings.
