  • Patent number: 12212938
    Abstract: A system for acoustic behavior feedback includes a light emitter and a microphone. Ambient sound data from the microphone may be compared to a threshold sound level, and one of a plurality of settings for the light emitter may be selected based at least in part on the comparison between the ambient sound data and threshold sound level. Each of the plurality of settings corresponds to a respective sound level alert as feedback for at least one person proximate the microphone and the light emitter.

  • Publication number: 20240221717
    Abstract: A method for adaptive additive sound includes receiving ambient sound data corresponding to ambient sound in a first zone acquired by a microphone in the first zone, analyzing the ambient sound data from the first zone, generating audio signal data for the second zone based at least in part on the ambient sound data from the first zone, and transmitting the audio signal data for the second zone to a speaker in the second zone. The first zone is separate from the second zone within a space.

  • Publication number: 20240215730
    Abstract: An acoustic chair cove includes a lower cove mountable on a chair such that a first wing of the lower cove is positioned at a first side of the chair, a second wing of the lower cove is positioned at a second side of the chair, and a top portion of the lower cove is positioned at a top portion of a back of the chair. An upper cove is mounted to the lower cove such that the upper cove is selectively movable relative to the lower cove between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230140935
    Abstract: A desk includes a work surface, a casing, a carriage, a stand, and a plurality of actuators. The actuators are operable to selectively adjust a vertical position of the work surface, the stand between at least a stored position and a deployed position, and a lateral position of the carriage. The casing is mounted to the work surface and defines an interior volume sized for receipt of a display. The carriage is mounted to the stand and is configured for supporting the display. A controller is in operative communication with the actuators and is configured for receiving data corresponding to a desk configuration over a wireless network and activating one or more of the actuators to correspond to the desk configuration.
