Abstract: An electronic speaker comprising: a device housing defining an interior cavity and including a sidewall extending around the interior cavity between an upper portion and a lower portion of the device housing; first and second sound channels formed at opposing locations along the sidewall, each of the first and second sound channels comprising a plurality of openings formed through the sidewall; a passive radiator array comprising first and second passive radiators disposed within the interior cavity, spaced apart from each other in an opposing relationship and aligned to project sound through the first and second sound channels; an active driver disposed in the device housing and configured to generate sound in response to an electrical signal, the active driver comprising driver housing disposed at least partially between the first and second passive radiators, a magnet disposed within the driver housing, a voice coil and a diaphragm facing downwards towards the lower surface of the device housing; and an annular sound channel disposed along the bottom portion of the device housing adjacent to the diaphragm of the active driver.

Abstract: A haptic actuator may include a housing, at least one coil carried by the housing, and a field member having opposing first and second sides. The haptic actuator may also include a respective flexure bearing mounting each of the first and second sides of the field member to be reciprocally movable within the housing responsive to the at least one coil. At least one of the flexure bearings may include an arm and a damper body attached thereto.

Abstract: A speaker assembly including a first speaker comprising a first diaphragm and a first voice coil movably coupled to a first magnet assembly, wherein the first diaphragm faces a first direction, the first voice coil moves along a first axis in the first direction when driven by an audio signal and the first magnet assembly is coupled to a fixed structure by a first compliant mounting member; and a second speaker laterally offset from the first speaker and including a second diaphragm and a second voice coil movably coupled to a second magnet assembly, wherein the second diaphragm faces a second direction different from the first direction, the second voice coil moves along a second axis in the second direction when driven by an audio signal and the second magnet assembly is coupled to the fixed structure by a second compliant mounting member.

Abstract: An electronic speaker can include: a device housing that defines an interior housing cavity; an audio driver disposed within the interior housing cavity; and a foot assembly coupled to the device housing and operable to support the electronic speaker. The foot assembly can include: a foot assembly sidewall having an outer sidewall perimeter extending outwardly away from a central neck; a planar foot having an outer foot perimeter proximate the outer sidewall perimeter where an upper surface of the planar foot cooperates with an interior surface of the foot assembly sidewall to create an internal cavity within the foot assembly; a suspension system disposed within the foot assembly internal cavity and coupling the planar foot to the foot assembly sidewall. The suspension system can include: an isolator plate disposed within the internal cavity of the foot assembly and mechanically coupled to the planar foot where the isolator plate includes a channel projecting perpendicularly away from the planar foot towards the device housing; an isolator stop fitted within the channel and having an aperture formed through the isolator stop aligned with a length of the channel; and an isolator fastener coupled to the foot assembly sidewall and disposed within the channel. The isolator fastener can extend through the isolator aperture formed through the isolator stop and can be operable to allow the foot assembly sidewall to translate with respect to the planar foot.
