  • Publication number: 20190098386
    Abstract: The housing for a wireless audio speaker includes an inner threaded portion that is complimentary to a drinking bottle threaded neck portion, enabling the housed speaker to be screwed onto a drinking bottle neck. The housing contains a misting subsystem including an atomizer enabling expulsion of water from the bottle out of the speaker housing as a mist. The system includes an electronic chip that performs additional electronic functions including a built-in light emitting diode (LED). The system includes an attachment subsystem including a handlebar-type clamp with an extension having a replica threaded bottle neck to which the speaker housing can be attached. When attached to a person, the housed audio speaker can perform the additional electronic functions of: heart rate sensor, pedometer, step counting and recording, calorie calculation, and distance calculation. A lost phone alarm can be generated if the smartphone is left more than a predetermined distance away.

  • Publication number: 20180159251
    Abstract: A distribution block element having opposed input and output couplings and integral complimentary mechanical connectors to additional adjacent distribution block elements, allowing expansion by addition of distribution block elements. Fuse couplings are spaced apart for a mini2 blade fuse and have a length that is are spaced apart for a maxi APX heavy duty fuse and for direct conductors. When two elements are connected adjacently, the spacing between the adjacent crossbar couplings is the same as the spacing between the opposed input and output fuse couplings in each element. Thus, identical crossbar conductors can be used both for electrically connecting opposed input and output couplings and for electrically connecting input couplings of adjacent elements.

  • Patent number: 9733890
    Abstract: Streaming audio is adjusted within one or more real-time digital signal processors (DSPs) by entering audio adjustment parameters using a smart phone application on a Bluetooth® enabled smart phone, receiving streaming audio from a Cloud server, and transmitting the adjustment parameters and streaming audio to a Bluetooth® chip in an audio system. The audio adjustment parameters and streaming audio then enter two real-time DSPs where the streaming audio is adjusted according to the audio adjustment parameters and then sent to amplifiers and/or transceivers. The application enables entry of lighting parameters for control of a plurality of RGB LEDS and one or more LED fixtures. The lighting parameters are transmitted to the Bluetooth® chip and adjustments are made, within the Bluetooth® chip, to the lighting control signals based on the lighting parameters, the streaming audio, and by adjusted streaming audio provided by at least one transceiver.
