    Abstract: A housing having a port for reducing wind-induced noise in a communication device. The housing includes a first channel, a second channel, and a ridge between the first and second channels. The housing further includes a tunnel extending through the ridge, which tunnel connects the first and second channels. The housing further includes a microphone port beneath the ridge, which microphone port is connected to the tunnel and connects the tunnel to a microphone cavity in the housing.

    Abstract: Preprocessing speech signals from an indirect conduction microphone. One exemplary method preprocesses the speech signal in two stages. In stage one, an external speech sample is characterized using an auto regression model, and coefficients from the model are convolved with the internal speech signal from the indirect conduction microphone to produce a pre-conditioned internal speech signal. In stage two, a training sound is received by the indirect conduction microphone and filtered through a low-pass filter. The result is then modeled using auto regression, and inverted to produce an inverted filter model. The pre-conditioned internal speech signal is convolved with the inverted filter model to remove negative or undesirable acoustic characteristics and loss from the speech signal from the indirect conduction microphone.

    Abstract: A voice activity detection system (100) filters audio input frames (102), on a frame=by-frame basis through a gammatone filterbank (104) to generate filtered gammatone output signals (106). A signal energy calculator (108) takes the filtered gammatone output signals and generates a plurality of energy envelopes. Weighting factors are constructed (112) are applied to each of the energy envelopes thereby producing normalized weighted signal (116), in which voice regions are emphasized and noise regions are minimized. An entropy measurement (118) is taken to extract information from the normalized weighted signals (116) and generate an entropy signal (120). The entropy signal (120) is averaged and compared to an adaptive entropy threshold (122), indicative of a noise floor. Decision logic (124) is used to identifying speech and noise from the comparison of the averaged entropy signal to the adaptive entropy threshold.

    Abstract: An intrinsically safe audio circuit and intrinsically safe portable two-way radio device meet conventional audio output requirements and intrinsically safe design limitations by separating the speaker coil of the device's speaker into separate coils to limit the energy storage possible in any one of the coils. Each separate coil is driven by one of several different audio power amplifiers that each output a substantially identical signal, and each of which are current limited.

    Abstract: A communication device is configured to receive signals using at least one acoustic microphone and at least one structural microphone. The communication device calculates one of first a signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio and a speech-to-noise ratio for the at least one acoustic microphone from received signals and calculates a SNR for the at least one structural microphone from received signals. The communication device compares one of the first SNR and the speech-to-noise ratio for the at least one acoustic microphone with the SNR for the at least one structural microphone. The communication device selects one of the at least one acoustic microphone and at least one structural microphone to receive speech responsive to the comparing and places a selected one of the at least one acoustic microphone and at least one structural microphone in a standby mode.
