METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACOUSTIC FASTENING

摘要

The invention concerns a method (400) and system (100) for acoustic fastening. The system can include a first housing component (118), a second housing component (120) and one or more fasteners (114) having an acoustic channel (116) that passes through the fasteners. The fasteners can at least assist in securing the first housing component to the second housing component. The acoustic channel can be an acoustic leak path (136) that permits the release of acoustic pressure. The acoustic leak path can also decreases a frequency response difference between a sealed design and a leaky design. The acoustic channel may also be part of an acoustic resonator (142) that increases over a range of frequencies a frequency response (720) of an acoustic signal generated by a transducer (126).
