Publication number: 20240116365Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer readable medium are provided for controlling an audio system in a vehicle. At least two sub-panels are presented via a display and at least one of the sub-panels provides one or more audio setting options for a first individual or group of occupant locations. The audio setting options are distinct relative to a second individual or group of occupant locations. User selections are received via an input sensor, such as a touchscreen incorporated into the display or separate buttons, knobs, touch-sensitive inputs, or the like. The audio system is controlled in accord with the user selections.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Steven J. Forrester, Robert A. Warden

Publication number: 20240046376Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods can produce an informed consensus among multiple different opinions or preferences that can be presented in social media posts and online polls. Such an informed consensus can identify an opinion, assertion, and/or decision from among a plurality of different opinions, and can do so in a way that is more accurate, reliable, and representative of group preferences. The method can include receiving poll results having a first group and a second group, receiving comments to the poll, and identifying, based on reactions to the comments and the poll results, a comment associated with users of the second group as a critical comment, and bringing this comment to attention of users in the first group. The method can also include determining, based on the responses of users who saw or did not see the critical comment, the deliberative consensus or informed consensus of the poll.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventor: Jonathan Robert Warden

Publication number: 20230254654Abstract: Various implementations include methods and related systems for controlling the audio output in a vehicle cabin. In one implementation, a method includes: receiving a first input indicative of a first audio output at a first location in the vehicle cabin; displaying a range of outputs available to a user in a second location in the vehicle cabin; receiving a second input indicative of a second audio output within the range of outputs at the second location; and outputting the first audio output and the second audio output in the vehicle cabin.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2022Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Jeffery Robert Vautin, Nicholas K.

Publication number: 20230237593Abstract: The disclosed techniques provide for automatically determining a score for a position represented in a digital content element based on digital signals derived from users interacting with the digital content element in an online forum. The techniques include receiving, by a computing system, digital content elements and digital signals indicating first and second positions in the online forum, the second position disagreeing with the first position, determining proportions of users associated with first and second groups corresponding to the first and second positions, determining, based on the proportions and digital signals, a conditional probability score that a random user accepts the first position given the random user accepts the second position, and determining, based on the conditional probability score and the digital signals, using a Bayesian reasoning algorithm, an informed probability score that a fully-informed user having access to all online discussion data would accept the first position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventor: Jonathan Robert Warden

Patent number: 11109125Abstract: A line array loudspeaker includes a first plurality of flexible joints, a first plurality of electro-acoustic drivers being linked to each other by the first plurality of flexible joints, and a first sectional horn assembly coupled to the first plurality of electro-acoustic drivers. The first plurality of electro-acoustic drivers is adjustable so that it can be positioned such that an axis that runs through an acoustic center of the first plurality of electro-acoustic drivers is articulable to produce three or more configurations including: a substantially straight configuration and a plurality of arcuate configurations.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Joseph J. Kutil, Paul F. Fidlin, Peter C. Santoro, Robert A. Warden, Kenneth D. Jacob

Patent number: 10735840Abstract: A device for securing an object to a ceiling includes a threaded rod, a bracket and a spring-loaded tab. The spring-loaded tab has a tab portion with an outer surface. The tab portion is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the threaded rod. When the device is attached to the object and the object moves into an opening in the ceiling for installation to the ceiling, the tab portion is urged from an extended position to enable the object to pass through the opening. Subsequently, the tab portion returns to its extended position such that the object can be temporarily supported by the tab within the ceiling opening. The bracket is configured so that during a removal process, a portion of the bracket urges the tab portion inward from the extended position to enable the object to be removed from the ceiling opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Peter C. Santoro, Dennis E. Meyer, Jr., Robert A. Warden, Gregor Mittersinker, Seung Hyuk Noh, Christopher J. O'Connell

Patent number: 10555101Abstract: A portable public address (PA) speaker comprises an enclosure constructed and arranged for positioning at a first position having a vertical orientation to output audio shaped for a first acoustic coverage area, a second position having an angular orientation to output audio shaped for a second acoustic coverage area, and a third position having a horizontal orientation to output audio shaped for a third acoustic coverage area. The weight of the speaker rests on a bottom surface of a base when in the first position having the vertical orientation or the second position having the angular orientation. The weight of the speaker rests on a side surface when in the third position having the horizontal orientation.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2019Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Warden, Paul F.

Patent number: 10334337Abstract: A speaker includes a housing, a member secured to the housing, and a locking pin which passes through a first portion of the speaker. The member substantially covers at least two sides of the locking pin. The member thus provides some protection against the locking pin unintentionally coming into contact with another object. The member has two or more feet which are secured to the member and which can support the speaker on a substantially horizontal surface when the speaker is oriented such that the member is facing the surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Robert A.
