Patent number: 10484772Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide an intentional leak from a rear volume of an ear cup to the atmosphere. The leak is created via a vent in the driver plate acoustic assembly. The vent reduces an acoustic load the ear cup cover creates on a rear cavity of an electroacoustic transducer contained within the driver plate acoustic assembly of a headset. Additionally, the vent is hidden on an assembled ear cup of a headset. Due to the placement of the vent, ear cup cover may have a smooth, seamless surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Johnpaul P. Barrieau, Richard L. Pyatt, Jonathan D. Turner, Daniel P. Baker

Patent number: 10357414Abstract: A system for changing the width of a person support apparatus includes a bed controller for receiving a command signal indicating a command for width alteration, a first motor controlled by the bed controller for driving an extension of a first deck section of the support apparatus thereby altering the width of the first deck section, and a second motor controlled by the bed controller for driving an extension of a second deck section of the support apparatus thereby altering the width of the second deck section. The bed controller controls the first motor and the second motor in a manner that causes the first deck section to reach a first deck section width alteration limit at a first time and the second deck section to reach a second deck section width alteration limit at a second time, wherein the first time and the second time are not equal.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Robert A. Bossingham, John D. Christie, Joseph A. Ernst, Brian Guthrie, Stephen E. Hutchison, Mark E. Lanning, James D. Lattimore, Mark Tyler Rigsby, Jeffrey A. Ruschke, Jonathan D. Turner

Patent number: 10272007Abstract: A bed frame 36 disclosed herein includes a calf section 72 with a foot end 74 and an upper end 76 longitudinally spaced from the foot end, an upper body section 54 with a head end 56 and a lower end 58 longitudinally spaced from the head end, and a medial section 66 longitudinally intermediate the calf and upper body sections. The bed frame is capable of assuming a chair state and a chair egress state. The upper body section and medial section define a sacral corner 68, and the calf section and medial section define a popliteal corner 70 spaced from the sacral corner by an intercorner distance. The intercorner distance is smaller in the chair egress state than in the chair state. A mattress 100 disclosed herein includes an upper body segment 102, a calf segment 116, and a medial segment 124 The lower end 106 of the upper body segment cooperates with the upper end 120 of the calf segment to define an intersegment distance.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan D.

Patent number: 10057675Abstract: An in-ear earphone includes a body shaped to fit in the wearer's ear, a nozzle extending from the body towards the ear canal of the wearer's ear, the nozzle including an acoustic passage to conduct sound waves to the ear canal of the wearer, an ear canal sealing structure extending from the nozzle, and a sensor coupled to the nozzle. The sealing structure includes a thin sheet of material forming a hollow shape surrounding the nozzle and sensor, and the body, nozzle, sealing structure, and sensor are arranged such that when the earphone is located in the wearer's ear, the sensor faces the tragus of the ear, and the sealing structure simultaneously forms an acoustic seal to the entrance to the ear canal and provides optical coupling between the sensor and the tragus with minimal air gaps between the sensor, the sealing structure, and the tragus.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Harsh Anilkant Mankodi, Kyle DeCubellis, Marko Orescanin, Michael D.
