Abstract: An audio system may include a microphone and an audio receiver that is communicatively coupled to the microphone. The receiver and/or the microphone may perform audio processing on one or more audio signals generated by the microphone. The audio processing may be based on a position of the microphone, a position of a user of the microphone (e.g., position of the user's mouth), and/or a relative position of the microphone and the user. The dynamic position-based audio processing provides for a customized and adaptive audio processing, such as a dynamically adjusted corrective equalization (EQ), compression, and/or advanced audio processing operation(s) that may use a machine learning algorithm. This advantageously improves the audio quality and performance in situations where the microphone is incorrectly positioned.

Abstract: A helmet (1) for carrying audio-visual equipment includes a brace member (18) having first and second ends (20, 22). The brace member passes in a spaced apart relationship from the left side of the head to the right side of the head of a wearer in use, until connecting at each end (20, 22) to a respective left or right side of the helmet (1). A boom (24) has a first boom end and a second boom end, the boom connecting at the first boom end to one of the first and second ends (20, 22) of the brace member (18). The boom includes a mounting for carrying at least one camera in a position near the head of a wearer. A method of capturing image data from a face and a power supply system for portable equipment are disclosed.

Abstract: A magnetic screen door includes a solid section in a screen to protect the screen from damage as users pass through the screen. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a first and second panel each comprising a flexible mesh section, an inside lateral edge and an outside lateral edge. A magnetic element may be coupled to the inside lateral edges. One or both panels may include a solid inset. The apparatus also comprises a second panel. In an illustrative use, as an animal presses on the solid inset, the first and second panels separate to allow the animal through. The flexible mesh section is protected from damage since the animal makes contact with the solid inset instead of the more fragile mesh section.
