Abstract
An electronic device includes a device housing defining an aperture, and a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly can include a seal defining a shared front volume in fluid communication with an ambient environment through the aperture, a microphone defining the shared front volume, and an environmental sensor defining the shared front volume.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a device housing defining an aperture;
- and
- a sensor assembly, comprising:
- a seal defining a shared front volume in fluid communication with an ambient environment through the aperture;
- a microphone defining the shared front volume;
- and
- an environmental sensor defining the shared front volume.
4 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- a device housing defining an aperture;
- and
- a sensor assembly defining a front volume in fluid communication with an ambient environment through the aperture, the sensor assembly comprising:
- a first sensor defining a first volume in fluid communication with the front volume;
- a second sensor defining a second volume in fluid communication with the first volume and the front volume;
- and
- a perforated plate disposed between the first sensor and the second sensor and the front volume.
4 more elements
A sensor assembly, comprising:
- a housing including:
- an outer sidewall;
- and
- an inner dividing wall separating a first volume and a second volume defined within the outer sidewall;
- a microphone in fluid communication with the first volume;
- an environmental sensor in communication with the second volume;
- a radial seal surrounding a perimeter of the outer sidewall;
- and
- a perforated plate coupled to the housing and extending across the inner dividing wall, the first volume in fluid communication with the second volume via a perforation extending through the perforated plate.
