摘要:
A transducer for the creation of acoustic energy omni directionally in a horizontal plane. The transducer includes a base plate, the base plate supporting a centrally located voice coil motor assembly and a hemi-toroidal diaphragm having a proximal edge and a distal edge. The proximal edge is appended to the centrally located voice coil motor assembly and the distal edge is appended to the base plate.

A method and apparatus for high quality signal transmission, which utilizes normal-mode current flow and produces an audio output signal with suppression of normal-mode voltage amplitude, comprising transmitting an audio input signal source though (1) a buffer amplifier; (2) a modulated current source; (3) a pair of wires; (4) a current transformer; and (5) a receiver amplifier for said current transformer.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for introducing a time-varying time delay randomly into the individual reproduction channels of a sound recording, two in the case of binaural presentation. This emulates the temporal aspect of microphone and/or listener motion. The present invention may be applied as a unidirectional process. No preparation of the source material is required. It can be applied to any multichannel audio signal set. It can process analog or digital signals. The process may be used with headphones, loudspeakers, hearing aids or similar assistive hearing devices.
摘要:
A method for dynamically adjusting the spectral content of an audio signal, which increases the harmonic content of said audio signal, said method comprising translating an encoded digital signal into data bands, creating a psychoacoustic model to identify sections of said data bands that are deficient in harmonic quality, analyzing the fundamental frequency and amplitude of said harmonically deficient data bands, creating additional higher order harmonics for said harmonically deficient data bands, adding said higher order harmonics back to said encoded digital signal to form a newly enhanced signal, inverse filtering said newly enhanced signal, and converting said inverse filtered signal to an analog waveform for consumption by the listener.
摘要:
A panel for use in assembling a radiation, microbial, acoustically, and ballistically shielded space within a building or other personal space. The panel is comprised of an ionizing radiation shielding material layer, a non-ionizing radiation shielding layer, an anti microbial treated layer, a bulletproof layer and an acoustical shielding layer. A method for using said panels to create a radiation, microbial, acoustic, and ballistic shielded space.
摘要:
A loudspeaker system for the reproduction of acoustic waves of music, sound and speech in a substantially circular horizontal plane. The loudspeaker system includes multiple spherical enclosures, each enclosure housing a pair of transducers, each pair of transducers producing acoustic waves of a predetermined frequency range.

A system and method for selling or assigning locations to a purchaser. The location can be identified or delineated in several ways. Location identifiers may be used separately or in conjunction with each other. Sale of a particular location may be exclusive, partially-exclusive, or non-exclusive, depending on the particular embodiment of the system. A purchaser or potential purchaser may use digital, zoomable maps to identify locations of interest and possible purchase. The maps may be marked with locations already purchased, and this marking may be turned on and off by the purchaser when viewing the maps. In another embodiment, purchasers also have the option of expanding their participation to other linked aspects of the present invention, including but not limited to Web-based or other electronic access to interactive interfaces and/or social networking engines. Thus, for example, each assigned or purchased location, delineated by latitude and longitude, altitude, depth, and/or geographic or common name, may be identified on digital, zoomable Earth maps so that a user may view data input by other users regarding a particular location. Users also may register or subscribe to input data of their own regarding the location, and communicate electronically with other users of the invention.

摘要:
The present invention involves a method for dynamically adjusting the spectral content of an audio signal, which increases the harmonic content through the systematic introduction of amplitude asymmetry. The present invention also involves an apparatus for dynamically adjusting the spectral content of an audio signal which consists of a constant current source, an input buffer amplifier, an output buffer amplifier and a progressively biased system of bipolar junctions, which will produce a controlled asymmetry of the transfer characteristic.
摘要:
A surface mount ring assembly for loudspeakers which comprises a ‘hard’ ring in which the speaker is secured. This hard ring is, in turn, secured to a resilient or ‘soft’ ring which soft ring is secured in the wall opening. The soft ring has a durometer of between 30 to 90 and a dynamic loss modulus of 1010 Dynes/cm2 at 100 to 1000 Hz. This effectively isolates the loudspeaker from the resonant frequency of the structure in which the speaker is secured.
