Patent ID: 8301188

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a substrate having a major surface; an acoustic actuator mounted on the major surface of the substrate wherein the acoustic actuator is configured to generate displacements along a direction parallel with respect to the major surface of the substrate in response to an electrical signal applied thereto; a speaker box defining an acoustic volume, wherein the speaker box includes a speaker box wall with a speaker box opening therethrough adjacent the acoustic actuator wherein the speaker box wall is a first speaker box wall; a speaker membrane across the speaker box opening adjacent the acoustic actuator, wherein the speaker membrane is mechanically coupled to the acoustic actuator so that the speaker membrane is configured to deflect responsive to displacements generated by the acoustic actuator, wherein the major surface of the substrate and the speaker membrane are non-parallel; a wireless transmitter and/or receiver configured to transmit and/or receive wireless communications from a remote electronic device; a controller electrically coupled to the wireless transmitter and/or receiver wherein the controller is configured to process the communications transmitted to and/or received from the remote electronic device; and an antenna electrically coupled to the wireless transmitter and/or receiver, wherein the antenna extends along a second speaker box wall spaced apart from the first speaker box wall so that the acoustic volume is defined between the first and second speaker box walls and so that the acoustic volume is between portions of the antenna and the acoustic actuator.
