摘要:
At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to an eartip or earplug configured to inserted in an ear canal of a user. The eartip or earplug is configured to occlude or partially occlude the ear canal of the user. The eartip or earplug includes a projected tip with various support structures designed to provide enhanced stability, comfort, and/or firmer insertion.

At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a system configured to occlude an ear canal. The system comprises a support structure, an expandable device, a housing, a resilient reservoir, and a threaded device. Resilient reservoir resides within housing and is filled with a medium. The threaded device couples to a threaded region of support structure. Threaded device fits in an opening of housing. Rotating threaded device reduces an interior volume of housing thereby transferring the medium from resilient reservoir to expandable device. Threaded device is rotated to displace sufficient medium within resilient reservoir to expand expandable device to occlude the ear canal. Resilient reservoir is passively filled when expandable device is in an un-expanded state.

At least one exemplary embodiment is directed toward an earphone device with a sealing section for acoustically sealing the meatus of a human ear, which includes an inner ear canal speaker; an inner ear canal microphone; connected to a logic circuit which can include a digital signal processor (DSP), where a sealant operatively attached to an outer section of the earphone acoustically seals the meatus of a human ear canal.
摘要:
At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a device that includes a membrane and a collapsible electroactive polymer element, where the element is in an expanded configuration without voltage application and is in a collapsed configuration with a voltage application, where the element is covered by the membrane.
摘要:
An earpiece device includes a microphone and a speaker having a common acoustic channel to reduce complexity and minimize components in an ear canal region. The earpiece device also includes a logic circuit operatively connected into an earpiece, where the microphone is configured to sample an acoustic signal traveling from either end of an acoustic channel. The earpiece device further includes a selective attenuation mechanism for varying the acoustic energy from one end of the acoustic channel or combining the acoustic energies in a controlled ratio from both ends of the acoustic channel before reaching the microphone.
摘要:
At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a multi-chamber coating comprising: a first medium; and a second medium, where the first medium covers at least a first portion of second medium so as to form a first and second chamber, where at least one material property of the first medium is different than the second medium, where the first chamber and second chamber share a wall, where the wall is configured to apply a restorative force upon deformation of the first or second chamber, where the first and second chamber form at least a portion of a coating, and where the coating is configured to be attached to an object that is configured to be inserted into an orifice.
