Publication number: 20240107258Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering spatial audio in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a spatial audio system, including a primary network connected speaker, including a plurality of sets of drivers, where each set of drivers is oriented in a different direction, a processor system, memory containing an audio player application, wherein the audio player application configures the processor system to obtain an audio source stream from an audio source via the network interface, spatially encode the audio source, decode the spatially encoded audio source to obtain driver inputs for the individual drivers in the plurality of sets of drivers, where the driver inputs cause the drivers to generate directional audio.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: SYNG, Inc.Inventors: Christopher John Stringer, Afrooz Family, Fabian Renn-Giles, David Narajowski, Joshua Phillip Song, John Moreland, Pooja Patel, Pere Aizcorbe Arrocha, Nicholas Knudson, Nathan Hoyt, Marc Carino, Mark Rakes, Ryan Mihelich, Matthew Brown, Bas Ording, Robert Tilton, Jay Sterling Coggin, Lasse Vetter, Christos Kyriakakis, Matthew Robbetts, Matthias Kronlachner, Yuan-Yi Fan

Patent number: 5760339Abstract: An electrical power distribution busway joint is shown and described. The joint is configurable to electrically couple the phase busbars, the neutral busbar(s) and the ground busbars of adjacent busway sections. Each of the phase and neutral busbars from adjacent busway sections are in electrical contact with the inside surfaces of a pair of rectangular connector plates. The connector plates are fabricated from a conductive material to include at least one opening and a spacing tab fabricated from at least a portion of the material removed from the plate to form the hole. The spacing tabs of the plates cooperate to maintain a space between the plates which facilitates insertion of a busbar into the space. The tabs also prevent over-insertion of busbars into the joints which may damage insulating material within the joint. The outside surfaces of the connector plates are each engaged by a rectangular insulator formed from a section of pultruded insulating material.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1993Date of Patent: June 2, 1998Assignee: Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Hoyt Faulkner, Ronald David Nordenbrock
