Patent number: 11778368Abstract: Array microphone systems and methods that can automatically focus and/or place beamformed lobes in response to detected sound activity are provided. The automatic focus and/or placement of the beamformed lobes can be inhibited based on a remote far end audio signal. The quality of the coverage of audio sources in an environment may be improved by ensuring that beamformed lobes are optimally picking up the audio sources even if they have moved and changed locations.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Dusan Veselinovic, Mathew T. Abraham, Michael Ryan Lester, Avinash K. Vaidya

Patent number: 9303863Abstract: Integrated light and microphone systems are provided that include a microphone with directionality and a lighting device that emits a light beam. The light beam may be emitted in a direction substantially the same as the directionality of the microphone. The lighting device and the microphone can share a common interference tube to assist in aligning the directionalities of the microphone and the lighting device. The systems may be adjusted to enable visual calibration of the microphone to optimally detect sound from an audio source. The audio source can be simultaneously illuminated. The systems may be unobtrusive and more easily used to meet the aesthetic needs of an environment. Multiple integrated light and microphone systems can be in communication with an audio mixer to optimally detect sounds from multiple audio sources and create a desired audio mix that emphasizes a target audio source and suppresses other audio sources.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2013Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventor: Avinash K.

Patent number: 7031158Abstract: An enclosure for electronic components is provided. The enclosure includes an electronics housing that has at least one slot for receiving one or more electronic components. The slot is defined by a plurality of walls. A heat pipe thermal management system is associated with the slot. The heat pipe system includes a heat pipe having a first portion embedded into one of the walls defining the slot for conducting heat from the wall to a second portion of the heat pipe extending out of the electronics housing. At least one cooling fin is carried by the second portion of the heat pipe such that heat from the heat pipe is conducted into the fin and the fin dissipates the heat to the ambient atmosphere outside of the electronics housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Charles Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Eduardo Leon, Walter Harwood, William Bond, Frank Hernandez, Avinash K.
