  • Publication number: 20150125019
    Abstract: A speaker assembly that is configured to be placed over a rectangular display screen and provide speakers along the sides thereof. The assembly comprises a left and right set of speakers disposed within the arms of an expandable frame, wherein the upper portion of the frame includes a telescoping structure to allow the distance between the arms of the frame to be changed based on the size of the display screen. The frame forms a substantial U-shape, wherein one or more speaker elements (speaker drivers, woofers, tweeters, etc.) are disposed within the arms and are joined by the telescoping upper portion of the frame. The interior portion of the frame arms may include attachment fasteners to the outer sides of the display, while audio connections extend from the rear of the arms to connect to an audio output source. The assembly is an improved audio system that consumes minimal volume.

  • Patent number: 8055009
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mountable audio system configured to be mounted on an electronic device, such as a computer monitor, a television and a music system. The mountable audio system includes a frame assembly, a pair of audio sources and a fastening mechanism. The frame assembly includes a pair of frame members. Each frame member of the pair of frame members includes a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The pair of frame members is removably coupled to each other by slidably engaging and disengaging first portions of the pair of frame members. The pair of audio sources is coupled to second portions of the pair of frame members. The fastening mechanism is capable of detachably coupling the frame assembly and the pair of audio sources with the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 5458853
    Abstract: A dual breath analysis device having a passive first mode of testing and analysing an exhaled breath sample without the use of a mouthpiece, and a second mode of testing and analysing a second breath sample through a mouthpiece apparatus when the first mode of testing indicates a substantially high level of alcohol in the first breath sample.

  • Patent number: 4926164
    Abstract: The present invention relates to vehicle breath monitors, and in particular to a vehicle breath monitoring system which either inhibits the starter motor solenoid of a motor vehicle or gives other indication when a driver's breath sample has an alcohol level above the legal limit. The system comprises an electro-chemical fuel cell assembly, which measures the level of ethanol of a breath sample supplied by the driver. The output of the fuel cell is fed to a microprocessor which uses the data as well as data of the ambient condition to determine the alcohol level of the driver's blood. The operation of the system requires the driver to use the system prior to the initial start of the motor vehicle, and a second repeat test to ensure that the alcohol level has not risen over time. If the tests are not passed the system gives an indication to the driver of the results so that the driver can act accordingly.
