Patent number: 8509463Abstract: There is provided a multi-mode sound reproduction system for reproduction of both stereophonic signals and multi-channel audio signals. The system includes a first pair of speakers positioned on a left portion of a user, the user being at a pre-determined facing, the first pair of speakers comprising a first primary speaker which is stackable with a first secondary speaker; a second pair of speakers positioned on a right portion of the user, the user being at the pre-determined facing, the second pair of speakers comprising a second primary speaker which is stackable with a second secondary speaker. The system may preferably include an arrangement of electronic components for controlling output of audio signals from the first pair and the second pair of speakers. It is preferable that in a first mode with the first and second pair of speakers in an unstacked configuration, the signals do not pass through the arrangement of electronic components prior to output.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2007Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Creative Technology LtdInventors: Aik Hee Daniel Goh, Kok Fah Lee, Hwee Bun Tan

Patent number: 8103042Abstract: There is provided a case for containing a portable media player, the case including: a frame for placement of the media player; and a speaker driver mounted in a cabinet, the speaker driver connectable to an audio output of the media player. The media player may be either permanently located within the case or removable from the case. The speaker driver may be connected to the audio output of the media player using either a wired connection or a wireless connection, the speaker driver being exposed when the case is in an open mode and the speaker driver being concealed when the case is in a closed mode. The case alternates between the open mode and the closed mode using fasteners such as, for example, adhesive strips, Velcro strips, magnetic strips, or a zipper.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2007Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Creative Technology LtdInventors: Hwee Bun Tan, Kin Wah Chan, Kok Huan Ong

Patent number: 7002638Abstract: In a method of automatic gain control for both TV and FM radio signals, the TV and FM radio signals are controllably amplified (AGC-AMP) to obtain amplifier output signals, the amplifier output signals are tuner processed (F, MIX, IF-AMP) to obtain tuner output signals, the tuner output signals are applied as control signals (T-AGC) to the controllable amplifier (AGC-AMP), a bandwidth of a thus formed AGC loop being wide enough for a TV channel, and the tuner output signals are narrow-band filtered (CF) to obtain narrow-band filtered signals having a bandwidth substantially corresponding to a bandwidth of an FM radio channel.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2001Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Alan Chin Leong Yeo, Kam Choon Kwong, Mieu Ngan Pang, Hwee Bun Tan
