Reducing Intermodulation Distortion Effects in Hearable Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323603 titled 'Reducing Intermodulation Distortion Effects in Hearable Devices
The patent application describes techniques and apparatuses to reduce intermodulation distortion effects in hearable devices.
- An apparatus includes a first speaker and a second speaker within a housing with an acoustic cavity near an aperture.
- The first speaker has a diaphragm facing the cavity and is connected to the housing by a forward roll surround.
- The second speaker has a diaphragm facing the cavity and is connected to the housing by a reverse roll surround.
- Intermodulation distortion effects at the first and second diaphragms are offset by each other at the aperture.
Potential Applications: - Audio devices - Headphones - Hearing aids
Problems Solved: - Reducing intermodulation distortion in hearable devices - Improving sound quality
Benefits: - Enhanced audio experience - Clearer sound output - Improved overall performance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Technology for Hearable Devices" This technology can be applied in the development of high-end headphones, premium hearing aids, and other audio devices. It can cater to audiophiles, individuals with hearing impairments, and professionals in the audio industry.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology impact the overall user experience of hearable devices? - This technology significantly improves sound quality and reduces distortion, leading to a more immersive audio experience for users. 2. What sets this intermodulation distortion reduction technology apart from existing solutions? - The unique design of the speakers and their placement within the housing allows for effective offsetting of distortion effects, resulting in clearer sound output.
Original Abstract Submitted
this document describes techniques and apparatuses directed at reducing intermodulation distortion effects in hearable devices. in aspects, an apparatus includes a first speaker and a second speaker disposed within a housing having an acoustic cavity adjacent to an aperture. the first speaker includes a first diaphragm facing the acoustic cavity and coupled to the housing by a forward roll surround. the second speaker includes a second diaphragm facing the acoustic cavity and coupled to the housing by a reverse roll surround. intermodulation distortion effects that arise at the first diaphragm having the forward roll surround and the second diaphragm having the reverse roll surround are substantially offset by each other at the aperture.
