Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for display devices with transverse planar microphone arrays. In one embodiment, an example device may include a frame component having a first portion and a second portion transverse to the first portion, the first portion having a first surface and a second surface. The device may include a first hole extending through the second portion, a first microphone array coupled to the second portion, the first microphone array having a first microphone aligned with the first hole, and a display assembly coupled to the first surface. The device may include a second hole extending through the display assembly and the first portion, and a second microphone array coupled to the second surface, the second microphone array having a second microphone aligned with the second hole.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for display devices with transverse planar microphone arrays. In one embodiment, an example device may include a frame that forms a rear portion of the device, a display assembly coupled to the frame, where the display assembly forms a front portion of the device, and a first microphone hole extending through a front face of the display assembly. The device may include a second microphone hole extending through the front face of the display assembly, a speaker coupled to the frame, a power adapter receptacle coupled to the frame, and a fabric cover disposed over the frame, the fabric cover comprising an aperture aligned with the power adapter receptacle. Sound output from the speaker may be directed towards the rear portion of the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securing fabric to speaker-based devices. An example device may include a housing having a first portion devoid of apertures, and a second portion having a first number of apertures. The device may include a fabric disposed about the housing, and an adhesive disposed between the fabric and the housing. The adhesive may include a first portion disposed between a first portion of the fabric and the first portion of the housing, and a second portion disposed between a second portion of the fabric and the second portion of the housing. The first portion of the adhesive may have a patterned non-liquid material that is bonded, and the second portion of the adhesive may have the patterned non-liquid material that is unbonded.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for display devices with transverse planar microphone arrays. In one embodiment, an example voice-activated device may include a housing, and a display assembly coupled to the housing, where a first vertical axis associated with the display assembly is at an acute angle relative to a second vertical axis associated with the housing. Example devices may include a number of microphone openings disposed in a front face of the display assembly, a speaker coupled to the housing and oriented to direct a portion of sound towards a rear portion of the device, and a fabric disposed over the housing, the fabric comprising an aperture disposed along the rear portion of the device.
