Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein may include a wearable apparatus including a frame having a memory and processor associated therewith. The apparatus may include a camera associated with the frame and in communication with the processor, the camera configured to track an eye of a wearer. The apparatus may also include at least one microphone associated with the frame. The at least one microphone may be configured to receive a directional instruction from the processor. The directional instruction may be based upon an adaptive beamforming analysis performed in response to a detected eye movement from the infrared camera. The apparatus may also include a speaker associated with the frame configured to provide an audio signal received at the at least one microphone to the wearer.
Abstract:
A sound output apparatus is provided, which includes an outer case having an upper portion with an opening formed upward, and a lower portion with sound holes formed therethrough, a first sound output unit provided at an upper side within the outer case and capable of outputting sounds of a first frequency band, a second sound output unit provided at a lower side within the outer case and capable of outputting sounds of a second frequency band, and a conveying device provided below the first sound output unit and capable of moving the first sound output unit up and down, wherein the conveying device allows the first sound output unit to protrude upwardly such that sounds are output between the outer case and the first sound output unit.
Abstract:
A loudspeaker system includes a first flexible panel, a first line array of electro-acoustic drivers, and at least one mechanically adjustable point. The first line array of electro-acoustic drivers are mounted on the first flexible panel and linked to each other by flexible joints in the first flexible panel. The at least one mechanically adjustable point enables articulation of the first flexible panel at the flexible joints to produce one or more of a substantially straight and an arcuate configuration of the first line array of electro-acoustic drivers.
Abstract:
This acoustic apparatus (10) comprises: a first microphone (12), the first microphone (12) comprising a principal electroacoustic transducer able to receive the acoustic sound waves of a sonic signal originating from the vocal cords and to convert said acoustic waves into a first electrical signal; a second microphone (14), the second microphone (14) comprising an osseous mechanical excitation transducer able to receive by osseous conduction vibratory oscillations of said sonic signal and to convert said vibratory oscillations into a second electrical signal; and means (48) for computing a corrected electrical signal depending on the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, the corrected electrical signal being able to be delivered as output from the acoustic apparatus (10). The acoustic apparatus (10) furthermore comprises a noise reducing device (20), the noise reducing device (20) being connected at the output of the principal electroacoustic transducer in order to decrease the noise in the first electrical signal and the computing means (48) being connected, on the one hand, to the output of the noise reducing device (20), and on the other hand, to the output of the osseous mechanical excitation transducer.
Abstract:
A speaker rigging system is provided with a frame, a cam pivotally connected to the frame about a pivot axis and a sector secured to the cam with a peripheral surface with a plurality of teeth formed therein. The speaker rigging system also includes a first lever arm and a pawl. The first lever arm is pivotally connected to the frame with a proximal end and an intermediate portion extending between the proximal end and the pivotal connection to be oriented proximate to the sector. The pawl extends from the intermediate portion of the lever arm and is spring-biased toward the sector for engaging one of the plurality of teeth to lock the cam to the frame in a locked condition. Alternatively or additionally a second lever arm is pivotally connected to the frame.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an airplane seat (1) having an audio system for playing back audio data, wherein the audio system comprises a volume controller and/or a noise compensation controller, a head rest element (5) having a loudspeaker element (2) that can be swiveled at a swivel angle α, and wherein the volume and/or the degree of noise compensation is controlled subject to the swivel angle α.
Abstract:
A speaker device includes: a first speaker unit (10) provided with a groove part (11); a second speaker unit (20) provided with a groove part (21); and a joining component (30) including a first protrusion (31) and a second protrusion (32). The first protrusion (31) of the joining component (30) is fitted into the groove part (11) of the first speaker unit (10). The second protrusion (32) of the joining component (30) is fitted into the groove part (21) of the second speaker unit (20).
Abstract:
A speaker 102 comprises a housing 104 that defines an internal cavity 106 and includes a front panel 114, a first side 116, a second side 118, and a third side 120. The speaker 102 also includes a controller 112, an actuator 112, and a sound generating member 108 that are disposed within the internal cavity 106. The controller 112 is in communication with the actuator 110, and the actuator 110 is configured for causing the sound generating member 108 to vibrate, and thereby generate sound waves, as instructed by the controller 112. The front panel 114 is configured to transmit the sound waves. The speaker 102 has a center of mass 128 that is affected by a position of the controller 112 and the actuator 110, and the controller 112 and the actuator 110 are arranged and positioned so that the center of mass 128 of the speaker 102 is positioned along an axis 144 that extends from, and is perpendicular to, the first side 116.
Abstract:
An adaptable system for configuring an audio reproduction system comprising a main element and one or more speaker elements which may move and output moving information. A processor receives the moving information and an audio signal and generates an adapted loudspeaker signal, taking into account the movement, to the speaker elements.
