Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a dynamic microphone capsule suspension assembly. The microphone capsule suspension assembly includes a body comprising: an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface defines an internal region that is configured to support a microphone; an upper extension extending from the outer surface in a radial direction that extends from a central axis of the body; and a lower extension extending from the outer surface in the radial direction. The upper extension and lower extension are spaced apart in a direction that is parallel to the central axis, and each comprise a wall that has a first wall thickness and comprises an array of indentations that have a second wall thickness formed therein. The first wall thickness is greater than the second wall thickness.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a microphone capsule suspension assembly for use in a microphone assembly that includes a capsule mount configured to support a condenser microphone capsule, and a pair of mounting arms. The pair of mounting arms comprise a first mounting arm and a second mounting arm. The first mounting arm includes a first end, a second end and a central portion disposed between the first end and the second end. The second mounting arm includes a third end, a fourth end and a central portion disposed between the third end and the fourth end. The capsule mount is coupled to, and disposed between, the central portions of the first mounting arm and the second mounting arm. The first end, second end, third end, and fourth end each comprise clamping structure, wherein the clamping structures are each configured to be supported by a portion of a housing that is configured to support the microphone capsule suspension assembly.

Abstract: A microphone includes a housing. The microphone includes a windscreen coupled with the housing. The windscreen and the housing define a central volume. The microphone includes an audio module within the central volume. The audio module includes a receiver capsule, a carrier unit coupled with the receiver capsule, and a counterweight coupled with the carrier unit. The microphone includes a suspension element that is coupled with the housing and carrier unit to suspend the audio module within the central volume. The suspension element includes an inner body that contacts the carrier unit. The suspension element includes first and second flanges extending outward from the inner body. The first and second flange are fixedly coupled with the housing. A cross-section of the first and second flange includes an arched region that extends at least partially to an inner wall of the housing. The arched regions are oriented in opposite directions.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to systems and methods for protecting patient privacy when health care information is shared between various entities and, in particular, to systems and methods that implement a multi-stage sanitizing routine for de-identifying patient data from medical reports and diagnostic images to ensure patient privacy, while preserving the ability for sanitized medical reports and diagnostic images to be re-identified.

Abstract: A microphone system includes a microphone and a pre-amplification conditioning circuit configured within a housing and comprising a pair of matched JFETs configured in a differential pair with common-source configuration and, when biased, are operable to receive and amplify the differential microphone output signal. The microphone further includes a pair of BJTs configured as a complimentary feedback transistor pair with each of the pair of BJTs coupled in parallel to a corresponding one of the pair of matched JFETs, and a current sink coupled to the matched JFETs and corresponding emitter electrodes of the BJTs and operable to maintain a fixed total direct current through each of the matched JFETs and BJTs, which reduces the JFETs corresponding electrical load, reduces signal noise, and increases a maximum amplified microphone output signal level at the drains of the matched JFETs.
