An earphone comprising: a device housing that defines an interior cavity within the device housing; an acoustic port formed through a wall of the device housing; an audio driver disposed within the device housing and aligned to emit sound through the acoustic port; a user input region disposed along an exterior surface of the device housing; a flex circuit disposed within the interior cavity, the flex circuit including a first portion bonded at a first location to an inner surface of the device housing directly beneath the user-input region, a second portion bonded at a second location to an inner surface of the device housing spaced apart from the first location, and a third portion extending between the first and second portions; a force pixel disposed within the interior cavity and mounted to the first portion of the flex circuit below the user input region; a plurality of touch pixels disposed within the interior cavity between the force pixel and the user input region; sensor control circuitry disposed within the interior cavity and mounted to the second portion of the flex circuit; and a wireless antenna disposed within the interior cavity defined by the device housing.

Portable wireless listening device

The disclosed technology relates to a battery utilizing an indicator to orient an unopposed portion of a cathode or anode with respect to a battery can, and a tag to generate an electromagnetic field to mitigate or eliminate an electromagnetic field generated by the unopposed portion of the cathode or anode. The battery includes a wound set of layers including a cathode, an anode, and a separator; a can housing the wound set of layers; a lid disposed atop of the can to enclose the wound set of layers within the can; and a tag coupled to the lid. An unopposed portion of the cathode or anode generates a first electromagnetic field. The tag generates a second electromagnetic field to oppose the first electromagnetic field.

System and method for reducing electrical interference of a battery cell

An acoustic mesh comprising a first portion that is acoustically closed; and a second portion that surrounds the first portion and is acoustically open, wherein a surface area of the second portion is at least one percent a total surface area of the acoustic mesh.

Windscreen mesh

A wireless earphone comprising a housing that defines an interior cavity having an inner surface and an outer surface; an opening extending through the housing from the inner surface to the outer surface; and a mesh assembly disposed over the opening and comprising a permanent assembly coupled to the housing and a replaceable assembly removably coupled to the permanent assembly and comprising a mesh.

Replaceable mesh in portable electronic devices

Embodiments describe an acoustic shielding component including a stiffener formed of a rigid material providing structural integrity to the acoustic shielding component, a cosmetic mesh comprising a plurality of interlaced wires, and an acoustic mesh disposed between the stiffener and the cosmetic mesh. The stiffener includes first and second walls extending along a length of the stiffener and a plurality of ribs spaced apart from each other and extending between the first and second walls. The cosmetic mesh includes a mesh cover disposed over the stiffener and having an outer surface and an inner surface, and a mesh wall extending from an outer periphery of the inner surface of the mesh cover and defining a tab.
