Patent number: 11277689Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides an apparatus and method of controlling an audible signal generated by an audio device to improve the sound quality of the generated audible signal and/or sound quality perceived by a user. In some embodiments, the audio device is able to improve the sound quality generated by the audio device that is generating audible sound based on any type of audio signal. The processes described herein allow the audible signal processor to determine the acoustic fingerprint of the environment in which the audio device is positioned, and thus by use of the method steps disclosed herein to optimize the sound quality in one or more frequency bands of a generated audible signal in real time based on the determined acoustic fingerprint.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: LOGITECH EUROPE S.A.Inventors: Calhoun Ernst Zabel, Daniel Ryan Marquez, Matthew James Green, Douglas George Morton

Patent number: 10366702Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure generally include a method and apparatus for receiving and separating unwanted external noise from an audible input received from an audible source using an audible signal processing system that contains a plurality of audible signal sensing devices that are arranged and configured to detect an audible signal that is received from any position or angle within three dimensional space. The audible signal processing system is configured to analyze the received audible signals using a first signal processing technique that is able to separate unwanted low frequency range noise from the received audible signal and a second signal processing technique that is able to separate unwanted higher frequency range noise from the received audible signal. The audible signal processing system can then combine the signals processed by the first and second signal processing techniques to form a desired audible signal that has a high signal-to-noise ratio throughout the full speech range.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: LOGITECH EUROPE, S.A.Inventors: Douglas George Morton, Daniel Ryan Marquez, Matthew James Green

The involute chamber comprises an involute inlet and a gas outlet proximal an upper end of the involute chamber. An inlet manifold is in fluid communication with said at least one involute chamber via the involute inlet. Said involute inlet of said involute chamber is laterally separated from said gas outlet. A method is further provided for separation of a mixed heavy phase/light phase process stream.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: JCI Cyclonics Ltd.Inventors: Kenneth Alfred Ernst, Matthew James Green, Morley Everett Kocken, Brendan Alexander Connolly

Patent number: 9723394Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a headphone or speaker assembly that contains two or more audio components that are configured to be magnetically coupled together by use of a complementary magnetic pole configuration in the headphone or speaker assembly to provide one or more useful functions. These useful functions may include elements that are able to sense that the two or more audio components are in contact with each other, or are at least proximate to each other, so that their audio playback capability can be suspended while they are in this unused state. Since the two or more audio components can be brought into contact with each other and be retained in this state by use of a magnetic force created between one or more magnetic components in each of the audio components, this design can provide a useful mechanism that will allow the headphone assembly to be easily retained on the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: LOGITECH EUROPE S.A.Inventors: Jeffrey Anderson, Matthew James Green
