Patent number: 10855561Abstract: In some embodiments, a method is provided that includes one or more of the following features including creating service request outcome models each being based on a service request outcome. A service request entered using natural language can be received and tokenized. A binary matrix can be created from the tokenized service request, and a service request outcome model can be identified based on the binary matrix. The service request outcome model can be used to identify a service request category, a service request predicted resolution, and a service request diagnostic. A confidence value can be calculated based on the service request predicted resolution. The service request category, the service request predicted resolution, and the service request diagnostic can be transmitted to an automated service request resolution system to resolve the service request.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Michael Monahan, Matthew Lee Maddox

Patent number: 10327062Abstract: A headphone includes a housing defining an enclosed volume, an electro-acoustic transducer dividing the enclosed volume into a front volume and a rear volume, a first port in the housing coupling the front volume to an ear canal of a user, a second port in the housing coupling the front volume to space outside the ear, a third port in the housing coupling the rear volume to space outside the ear, and an ear tip configured to surround the first port and seal the ear canal from space outside the ear. The second port has a diameter and a length that provide an acoustic mass with an acoustic impedance with a high reactive component and a low resistive component.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Kevin P.

Patent number: 10206033Abstract: An active noise reduction earphone includes structure for positioning and retaining the earphone in the ear of a user and, active noise reduction circuitry including an acoustic driver with a nominal diameter greater than 10 mm oriented so that a line parallel to, or coincident with, an axis of the acoustic driver and that intersects a centerline of the nozzle intersects the centerline of the nozzle at angle ?>±30 degrees. A microphone is positioned adjacent an edge of the acoustic driver. The earphone is configured so that a portion of the acoustic driver is within the concha and another portion of the acoustic driver is outside the concha.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Kevin P. Annunziato, Jason Harlow, Michael Monahan, Anand Parthasarathi, Ryan C. Silvestri, Eric M. Wallace

Patent number: 10045113Abstract: A positioning and retaining structure for an in-ear earpiece. An outer leg and an inner leg are attached to each other at an attachment end and attached to a body of the earpiece at the other end. The outer leg lies in a plane. The positioning and retaining structure have a stiffness that is greater when force is applied to the attachment end in a counterclockwise direction in the plane of the outer leg than when force is applied to the attachment end in a clockwise direction in the plane of the outer leg. The positioning and retaining structure position an earpiece associated with the earpiece in a user's ear and retains the earpiece in its position.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Ryan C.
