Patent number: 10615828Abstract: A flexible multi-channel diversity wireless audio receiver system for routing, processing, and combining multiple radio frequency (RF) signals containing audio signals received on respective antennas is provided. The wireless audio receiver system provides flexible routing of multiple RF signals in different selectable modes, and low latency uninterrupted reception of signals in harsh RF environments by combining multiple RF signals to maximize signal-to-noise ratio. The audio output may be generated in an uninterrupted fashion and mitigate multipath fading, interference, and asymmetrical noise issues. Received RF signals may also be cascaded by the wireless audio receiver system to allow daisy chaining.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Thomas J.

Patent number: 9610617Abstract: A megasonic processing apparatus matches the fundamental resonant or higher-level harmonic frequencies of megasonic thickness-mode transducers to the fundamental resonant or higher-level harmonic frequencies of a plate or other mounting structure upon which the transducers are mounted. The multifrequency transducers are piezoelectric transducers operating in thickness mode at different operating frequencies. The thickness of the mounting plate at the transducer locations is selected to provide a resonant or harmonic frequency matched to that of its corresponding transducer. Two or more megasonic transducers are bonded to the same radiating surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: MEGASONIC SWEEPING, INCORPORATEDInventor: J.

Patent number: 9397675Abstract: Embodiments include a hybrid frequency synthesizer comprising a direct digital synthesizer configured to generate a digital output signal having a frequency determined by an input signal received from an externally-generated signal source. The hybrid frequency synthesizer further includes a delta sigma modulator configured to generate a delta-sigma modulated signal based on the digital output signal, the delta sigma modulator being coupled to the direct digital synthesizer. The hybrid frequency synthesizer also includes a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert the delta-sigma modulated signal into an analog output signal, the digital-to-analog converter being coupled to the delta-sigma modulator.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2015Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Michael Goodson, Yang Tang

Patent number: 9388363Abstract: A process for extracting palm oil includes an ultrasonic horn press and a megasonic clarifier. The ultrasonic horn press uses ultrasonic vibrations to rupture the palm fruit. After pressing and filtering the palm oil from the ultrasonic horn press, the megasonic clarifier applies megasonic vibrations to clarify the palm oil. The ultrasonic horn press and megasonic clarifier significantly reduce the use of water and minimizes pollution as compared to conventional processes.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: MEGASONIC SWEEPING, INCORPORATEDInventors: J.

Patent number: 8936032Abstract: An air blanket reflector, which is placed inside and next to the walls of an ultrasonic tank, reflects ultrasonic energy. The air blanket reflector has a relatively thin metal plate, such as 14 gauge stainless steel, facing the interior of the tank and an air-filled cavity on the opposite side of the thin metal plate. The thin metal plate reflects ultrasonic energy away from the walls of the tank to reduce the amount of ultrasonic energy absorbed by the tank.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2012Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Crest Oil & Gas, Inc.Inventor: J.
