Patent number: 10397680Abstract: A communications headset in which a microphone at the end of a support boom can be adjustably secured in a position selected by the wearer and can accommodate a variety of wearers. The headset may include a boom arm clip configured to receive a boom arm retaining a microphone. The boom arm clip can include an opening, and the opening may include a pair of grooves, the pair of grooves together can define a channel sized to fit and retain the boom arm therein. The headset may also include an adjusting knob, which can secure the boom arm clip in order to adjustably fix the boom arm in a number of positions on the headset to accommodate for different sized users.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Michael Alwicker, Daniel Pratt, Charles Wiseman

Patent number: 9843852Abstract: A shock mount for a microphone comprises a first frame member having an upper ring-shaped frame member and a lower ring-shaped frame member. The lower frame member has a microphone mount for receiving a microphone. The shock mount also has a second frame member comprising a ring. The first frame member is suspended from the second member by wire rope or other substantially non-elastic flexible material, and the wire rope is configured to help reduce the amount of vibration encountered by the first frame member. A method comprises providing a first frame member and a second frame member and suspending the first frame member from the second frame member by wire rope or other substantially non-elastic flexible material and mounting a microphone on the first frame member to help reduce the amount of vibration encountered by the first frame member and the microphone.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Albert F. Mcgovern, Jr., John Miller, Daniel Pratt

Patent number: 8185344Abstract: An apparatus for determining a dimension of a construction material is provided. At least one material-interacting device is configured to interact with the construction material so as to determine at least one surface characteristic thereof. A computer device is configured to be capable of receiving the at least one surface characteristic from the at least one material-interacting device, and to manipulate the at least one surface characteristic so as to form a multi-dimensional representation of the construction material. The computer device is further configured to determine the surface or volume characteristic of the construction material from the multi-dimensional representation thereof. By determining the mass of the construction material, the density of the construction material can be provided. An associated method is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Robert Ernest Troxler, James Daniel Pratt, Jr.
