Patent number: 11477557Abstract: In an active noise reducing headphone, a signal processor applies filters and control gains of both the feed-forward and feedback active noise cancellation signal paths. The signal processor is configured to apply first feed-forward filters to the feed-forward signal path and apply first feedback filters to the feedback signal path during a first operating mode providing effective cancellation of ambient sound, and to apply second feed-forward filters to the feed-forward signal path during a second operating mode providing active hear-through of ambient sounds with ambient naturalness.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Daniel M. Gauger, Jr., Jason Harlow

Publication number: 20190381391Abstract: A card game for playing in a casino environment, with a dealer and one or more players. Before play commences the players place an ante bet. Each player and the dealer are then dealt 2 cards. The object of the game is to get a pair of cards scoring higher than the dealer, with a wild card being able to make a pair with any other card and two wild cards being the highest score possible. Without a pair the score is determined by the sum of the cards numeric values. Before the dealer reveals their cards, the players inspect their cards and can either forfeit their ante bet, or place a further bet equivalent to the original ante bet. A side bet is also available for receiving one or two wild cards.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2018Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventor: Mark Jason HARLOW

Patent number: 10327062Abstract: A headphone includes a housing defining an enclosed volume, an electro-acoustic transducer dividing the enclosed volume into a front volume and a rear volume, a first port in the housing coupling the front volume to an ear canal of a user, a second port in the housing coupling the front volume to space outside the ear, a third port in the housing coupling the rear volume to space outside the ear, and an ear tip configured to surround the first port and seal the ear canal from space outside the ear. The second port has a diameter and a length that provide an acoustic mass with an acoustic impedance with a high reactive component and a low resistive component.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Kevin P. Annunziato, Jason Harlow, Ian M. Collier, Michael Monahan, Roman Sapiejewski
