Patents by Inventor Joost ter Laak

Joost ter Laak has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12238468
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to a wireless microphone system and methods. The system may include one or more antennas, such as a monopole and dipole antennas, arranged within a housing. The housing may include a circuit boarding having a ground plane. The circuit board may be connected to a microphone configured to protrude from an opening of the housing. Further, a windshield including a bayonet-type connector may removably mount with a mount on the housing. Advantageously, the system may be configured to provide noise dampening and facilitate linking with other devices more efficiently and effectively.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11671734
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to a wireless microphone system and methods. The system may include a receiver unit connected to one or more transmitter units. The system may be configured to monitor the link between the corresponding units and mark audio in response to a broken connection. Each transmitter unit of the system may include a switching arrangement configured to record uncompressed audio or compressed audio and, according to a processing path selected, transmit the same audio to the receiver unit. The transmission of audio may be accomplished via a dipole antenna positioned at a height from a circuit board. Advantageously, the system is configured to record and transmit audio with a low rate of dropout error.
