Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an arrangement of components within a hearable device, such as earbuds, to reduce H field coupling for E noise improvement. A battery is positioned above a magnet and speaker, such that the battery is not coaxially aligned with either the magnet or the speaker. An internal positive tab of a battery is positioned farthest from a speaker yoke, while an internal negative tab of the battery is closer to the speaker yoke. Magnetic flux poles of a contact magnet have different contributions for electric field coupling.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques for controlling the production of eNoise in an audio playback system. The eNoise may be an audible noise produced when a current, such as a noise/ripple current, flows through a battery of the audio playback system. Such eNoise may be reduced by limiting the current, such as noise/ripple current, flowing through the battery. In some examples, the noise/ripple current may be diverted to the main board of the audio playback system by adding a source of current. A circuit to produce such a current may include transistor(s), capacitor(s), and/or resistor(s). Using the current source and/or such a circuit may also divert the noise/ripple current away from the battery, thereby reducing the eNoise produced.

Abstract: This disclosure describes an extended closure sensor design for an electronic device. An electronic device (300) senses, with a magnetic sensor (306), an open or a closed position of the electronic device (300). A lid magnetic field is propagated through a ferromagnetic material (304) by a lid magnet (302) when a lid (310) or similar component of the electronic device (300) is in the closed position, thereby placing the lid magnetic field incident upon the magnetic sensor (306). In the open position, the lid magnetic field is materially absent and a bias magnet (308) causes a bias magnetic field to be incident upon the magnetic sensor (306).

The feedback may include an indication of the voltage requirements and/or instructions for adjusting the voltage output of the first electronic device. The second device may be, for example, a wearable audio device, while the first device is a case for the wearable audio device.

Abstract: A first device provides both power and data to a second device over a power line connection between the two devices. The first device includes a power line extending from a power supply, a ground line extending from a ground, a first impedance in the power line, and a second impedance in the ground line. A modulator comprised of a transistor and modulator impedance is between the first impedance and the second impedance, and a tank capacitor is between the power line and the ground line, outside the first impedance and second impedance. A comparator is coupled between the first and second impedance. A switch may be included to short out the first and second impedance, thereby enabling transmission of only power for period of time, and return to a mode of transmitting both data and power. The first device may also receive data from the second device over the power line connection.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetic system within a case for an electronic accessory. The case may include a housing portion and a lid coupled to the housing portion. Within the housing portion may be a housing magnet. The housing magnet may be oriented such that the magnetic field of the housing magnet is oriented transverse to a longitudinal axis of the case.

A hinge magnet may be located along an axis of rotation of the lid with respect to the housing. The hinge magnet and housing magnet may magnetically interact to form a bistable magnetic hinge. Thus, the one housing magnet may be large enough and have a strong enough magnetic field to perform various functions.

Abstract: This document describes improved driving circuits for piezoelectric speakers (piezos). In aspects, a charging case for a hearable device includes a piezo and a circuit for driving the piezo having a battery, an inductor, first and second switches, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to first toggle the first switch for a number of times to charge the piezoelectric speaker via the inductor to a target voltage level and second toggle the second switch to discharge and thus sound the piezo. In such aspects, the first toggling of the first switch and the second toggling of the second switch control a volume and frequency, respectively, of the sounding, improving audio quality and providing finder features to users. Further, charging the piezoelectric speaker via the inductor enables the inductor to be smaller, conserving space within and power consumption of the charging case, leading to improved battery life.

The EMI shield tab may be configured to shield the speaker from EMI generated by the circuit board and to provide an electrical interconnection to the anode.

Abstract: A snapshot of a computer network system is taken in a virtualized environment. During a recording phase, a network message is recorded as it enters the computer network system. A logger generates log data that includes the headers of the network message as it enters and exits each server in the computer network system. An analysis server automatically analyzes the log data and determines whether there was a modification to a header of a network message and where the modification occurred. The contents of the changes reflected in the log data indicates functionality of the servers in the computer network system. The analysis server determines the dependencies between servers in the computer network system. The recorded data is used for test replays.
