  • Publication number: 20250046278
    Abstract: A system for digital control of an analog pedal has an analog audio circuit. The analog audio circuit receives an analog audio signal as an input audio signal and processes the input audio signal into an output analog audio signal. A digital control system is operatively coupled to the analog audio circuit. The digital control system receives a user input and outputs a control signal to the analog audio circuit as a function of the user input. The analog audio circuit modifies the audio signal into the output analog audio signal as a function of the control signal.

  • Patent number: 11122356
    Abstract: An animal headphone assembly for soothing a canine when the canine is exposed to distressing sounds includes a pair of headphones. Each of the headphones has a diameter sufficient to cover ears of a canine for wearing over each of a canine's ears. A plurality of straps is each coupled between each of the headphones to extend around the canine's head for retaining the headphones over the canine's ears. A sound unit is integrated into the headphones to emit sound outwardly therefrom. The sound unit stores a database comprising a plurality of musical songs to emit pleasing sounds into the canine's ears. Each of the musical songs includes concealed binaural beats to soothe the canine.

  • Patent number: 10575075
    Abstract: Various examples are provided for digital sound reconstruction using piezoelectric array elements. In one example, a digital loudspeaker includes a fixed frame and an array of transducers disposed on the fixed frame. Individual transducers of the array of transducers can include a flexible membrane disposed on a piezoelectric actuation element positioned over a corresponding opening that extends through the fixed frame. In another example, a method includes forming a flexible membrane structure on a substrate and backetching the substrate opposite the flexible membrane structure. The flexible membrane structure can be formed by disposing a first electrode layer on a substrate, disposing a piezoelectric layer on the first electrode layer and disposing a second electrode layer on the piezoelectric layer. A flexible membrane layer (e.g., polyimide) can be disposed on the second electrode layer.

  • Patent number: 10070722
    Abstract: A sliding storage compartment assembly for a motor vehicle includes a storage bin slidably received in a storage bin holder by a dual track assembly defined by opposed sets of rails and opposed sets of cooperating tracks. Each of the opposed sets of rails and opposed sets of cooperating tracks are vertically and laterally offset one from another. Each of the opposed sets of rails and each of the opposed sets of cooperating tracks may be vertically offset one from another in a vehicle z-axis direction and laterally offset from one another in a vehicle x-axis direction. The opposed sets of cooperating tracks may be disposed on opposed side walls of the storage bin holder and the opposed sets of rails may be disposed on opposed side walls of the storage bin, or vice-versa. Console assemblies including the sliding storage compartment assembly are described.
