  • Air purification respirator voice amplifier
    Patent number: 9833644
    Abstract: An electrical amplifier unit which removably attaches to a gas mask and includes a microphone for detecting voice sounds emitted by the wearer of the gas mask, circuitry for amplifying the detecting sound, and a loudspeaker for emitting the amplified sounds externally of the mask. The associated components are contained within a housing that attaches sealably to the outlet port of a gas mask. The amplifier unit is quickly and easily attachable to commercially available gas masks without additional hardware and does not affect the structural and functional integrity of the host mask.
    Type: Grant

  • Acoustic transducer array element having a plurality of acoustically coupled transducer assemblies
    Patent number: 8335131
    Abstract: An acoustic transducer array element includes a plurality of individual or transducer assemblies or “drivers” which are combined in a closely spaced geometry to form the array element. The respective transducer assemblies within each array element are acoustically coupled with each other. The invention utilizes such mutual coupling between the closely spaced transducers assemblies to provide improved acoustic performance.
