IPC Code(s): H04R1/28, H04R1/02
Abstract: a speaker produces acoustic frequencies within a housing that outputs the acoustic frequencies to a port. the produced frequencies travel through a cavity to the port which may have a cavity resonance that amplifies certain frequencies, affecting the frequency sensitivity of the speaker. to mitigate the cavity resonance, the speaker includes a membrane with regions having different breakup frequencies. one region is tuned to break up at a desired bandwidth of the speaker, and another region is tuned to break up at the cavity resonance, mitigating the distortion on frequency response due to the cavity resonance.

IPC Code(s): H04R1/34, H04R1/10
Abstract: a speaker assembly presents audio content to an ear canal of a user. a speaker of the speaker assembly generates positive and negative acoustic pressure waves. a first vent assembly of the speaker assembly ports the positive acoustic pressure waves to an entrance of the ear canal of the user, whereas a second vent assembly ports the negative acoustic pressure waves to an area behind a pinna of the user. the first and second vent assembly are configured to provide improved audio content playback to the user.

IPC Code(s): H04W52/02
Abstract: disclosed herein are systems and methods related to using restricted target wake time in wireless communication. in one aspect, a first wireless communication device may configure a first field indicating (i) one or more traffic streams that are latency sensitive, and (ii) a direction of each of the one or more traffic streams between the first wireless communication device and a second wireless communication device. each of the one or more traffic streams is to be communicated during a respective service period of a restricted target wake time (rtwt) schedule. the first wireless communication device may send a message including the first field to a second wireless communication device.

IPC Code(s): H04W56/00, H04L5/00
Abstract: a wireless communication device may include one or more processors. the one or more processors may transmit one or more first request frames to a wireless communication node and a wireless user device. the one or more first request frames may indicate to the wireless communication node to perform a first transmission to the wireless communication device during a first service period (sp). the one or more first request frames may indicate to the wireless user device to perform a second transmission to the wireless communication device during the first sp. the one or more processors may receive, during the first sp, according to the one or more first request frames, the first transmission from the wireless communication node, and the second transmission from the wireless user device.
