    Abstract: A lightweight plastic housing with metal rack rails attached within to support industry-standard electronics modules. The plastic is preferably corrugated plastic folded from a single cut sheet and secured with adhesive. The sheet is folded to make an enclosure having a rectangular cross section, and a fifth short panel overlaps a first panel. Box closures, possibly auto-locking box closures, form the top and bottom of the housing. Metal rack rails and supports for the rack rails are installed through a front opening of the housing and are attached to and supported by the plastic housing. Supports include lengths of asymmetric channel stock extending between the top and the bottom of the housing at four corners to maintain the rack rails spaced apart from the sides of the housing. Upper and lower cross supports extend between front and rear supports.

    Abstract: A pair of subwoofer speakers mounted on a carrier in a ceiling speaker enclosure having a small acoustic port using an acoustic channel shell that extends from the enclosure, the output of which is directed by adjustable attachment of a director to the acoustic channel shell. An annular flange on the director is used to clamp to a bottom surface of a ceiling tile. The enclosure has braces for engaging grid members of a suspended ceiling support grid. The braces are independently extendable from the enclosure. The subwoofer speakers at least partially face each other. Vibration damping approaches are used. An audio controller may be used to control the phases of the audio signals to the subwoofer speakers to permit a push-pull synchronization strategy.

    Abstract: A small dual-speaker ceiling speaker system including a loudspeaker and a tweeter with an acoustic diffuser that is adjustable over a range of lengths for different thicknesses of ceiling tile and is independently adjustable over a range of acoustic port sizes. The loudspeaker sends acoustic waves into a acoustic channel that includes a truncated conical shell, or acoustic channel cone, with a cylindrical acoustic channel shell extending therefrom. A tweeter is mounted in the acoustic channel shell. A diffuser couples to the acoustic channel shell using threads that may be engaged or disengaged. The diffuser has a diffuser element that can be raised or lowered with a screw to adjust the size of the acoustic port. The diffuser element has demarcations for visually indicating acoustic port size. A housing with a base having extendable braces supports the speaker system on the ceiling grid, rather than on the tile.

    Abstract: A small speaker for panel mounting in a hole as small as seventy five millimeters diameter in which access to the rear of the panel is not required. The small speaker uses spring-loaded flip dogs that are actuated by rotating a sound disperser that is connected to a hollow cylindrical mechanism having gear teeth on its external surface which engage flip dog gears on the top surfaces of the flip dogs. Internally, the hollow cylindrical mechanism has an indentation that supports a speaker baffle which, in turn supports a speaker bushing. A loudspeaker is attached to the speaker bushing near the speaker baffle. Two housing sections attach, spaced apart, to an annular frame on opposing sides and receive the hollow cylindrical mechanism rotationally therein. The flip dogs operate in the spaces between the housing sections. Methods of mounting and dismounting are described.

    Abstract: A subwoofer that is enclosed in a housing adapted for tool-less installation and removal on a watercraft using cam-latch mounts on existing vendor mounting locations or on included custom mounting plates. The watercraft subwoofer system includes a waterproof signal and power connector with no tools necessary to connect or disconnect. The down-firing subwoofer acoustically couples the subwoofer to the hollow vehicle hull and increases bass. The enclosure has a passive acoustic radiator to provide increased bass response and pressure equalization when hitting the water or momentarily submerged. The enclosure has marine lights on the rear-facing side. The enclosure also has a one-way pressure valve to release pressure if hitting water at high speeds and becoming submerged. An anti-slip mat is provided on the top of the enclosure to reduce the likelihood of a rider slipping off the rear of the watercraft. Various enclosure shapes may be used.

    Abstract: An apparatus instantiating a method for computing automatic noise compensation gain with an adaptive filter that receives ambient sound and source audio, down samples ambient sound and source audio, and filters the down sampled ambient sound and source audio to compute an RMS noise estimate from which a gain is determined. The present invention features highly efficient computations, as sampling rates are significantly lower. The present invention keeps audio data secure by transmitting only the mean-square audio levels instead of the audio itself.

    Abstract: A small, lightweight ceiling speaker assembly in a lightweight plastic tubular L-shaped housing with an inclined rear end closed by an electronics connection panel. The tubular L-shaped housing is assembled from right and left L-shaped halves and encloses a speaker, a multi-tap transformer, and control electronics. Selection of the transformer tap, zone selection, and configuration controls is accomplished manually on the electronics connection panel. Analog ANALOG IN and ANALOG OUT jacks are also located on the electronics connection panel. Spring-biased feet engage the top surface of a ceiling tile or panel to clamp the L-shaped strategically hidden speaker system against an annular flange of a releasably attachable sound diffuser or director.

    Abstract: A DIN rail electronics rack having opposed sidewalls with modified “top hat” DIN rails attached therein and equipment attachment rails coupled to and lockable to the DIN rails, which are modified to have a linear array of equally spaced-apart openings aligned on each side of each DIN rail. The DIN rail coupling has a proximal flat surface to abut the equipment rail base panel, and distal opposed clamp ends to engage and retain the “brim” of the “top hat”. A central distal plateau on the coupling includes two nut sockets shaped to prevent nuts from rotating while being threaded. The nut heads are configured to form three channels that align with any three adjacent DIN rail side openings. A three-toothed locking comb is inserted through the DIN rail side openings and three channels to lock the coupling to the DIN rail. A rack crown provides for lighting and fault services.
