Publication number: 20250046278Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: David Mosquera, Jonathan Au, Marlon Castro, Kevin Fernandez, Aiden Shi

Patent number: 11122356Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Inventors: Angela Braun, David Castro

Patent number: 10575075Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2019Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: KING ABDULLAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Armando Arpys Arevalo Carreno, David Conchouso Gonzalez, David Castro Signoret, Ian G.
