Patent number: 11528550Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear. A first check valve on the ear cup is to open and release a volume of air from the ear enclosure when a positive pressure within the ear enclosure overcomes a cracking pressure of the first check valve. A second check valve on the ear cup is to open and admit a volume of air into the ear enclosure when a partial vacuum within the ear enclosure causes an external pressure to overcome a cracking pressure of the second check valve.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jon R Dory, James Glenn Dowdy, David H Hanes

Patent number: 11112887Abstract: An electronic pointing device includes a housing. In addition, the electronic device includes a position transducer coupled to the housing. Further, the electronic pointing device includes a plurality of electrical switches coupled to the housing. Still further, the electronic pointing device includes a cover plate removably coupled to the housing. The cover plate includes a plurality of holes, each hole aligned with one of the plurality of electrical switches. The electronic pointing device also includes a plurality of button members. Each button member is removably disposed in one of the holes of the cover plate and disposed to engage the corresponding, aligned electrical switch to actuate that electrical switch.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Matthew Flach, James Glenn Dowdy, Dimitri Collins-Elder

Publication number: 20210092526Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear, a first valve to open and release air from the ear enclosure, and a second valve to open and admit air into the ear enclosure. The headset also includes a first speaker cone to translate an audio frequency signal into audible sound, and a second speaker cone to translate a subsonic frequency signal into air movement that produces positive and negative air pressures within the ear enclosure to open and close the first and second valves.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2017Publication date: March 25, 2021Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Jon R. Dory, David H. Hanes, James Glenn Dowdy

Publication number: 20200154193Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear. A first valve is to open and release air from the ear enclosure, and a second valve is to open and admit air into the ear enclosure. A speaker cone is to translate an audio signal into audible sound, and a signal modifier is to modify the audio signal with a subsonic frequency signal to cause the speaker cone to generate air movement that produces sufficient positive pressure to open the first valve and sufficient negative pressure to open the second valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2017Publication date: May 14, 2020Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: David H.
