  • Patent number: 11937043
    Abstract: A hearing protection device is provided. The hearing protection device includes a first earmuff connected to a second earmuff by a headband. Each of the first and second earmuffs are configured to dampen ambient sound. The hearing protection device also includes an antenna, located within a housing of the first earmuff. The antenna comprises a rigid portion coupled to a flexible portion. Both the rigid portion and the flexible portion are fixed within the housing. The flexible portion is configured to remain substantially in line with a ground plane with respect to the rigid portion.

  • Patent number: 7646557
    Abstract: A method of generating a clock signal from a moving medium includes detecting movement of at least one mark that moves synchronously with the medium. A generally sinusoidal output signal corresponding to movement of the mark is produced. The generally sinusoidal output signal is interpolated to provide a clock signal having a higher frequency than said generally sinusoidal output signal. The interpolation dynamically adjusts the phase of the interpolated output clock signal to correct for errors in the phase of said output signal. In one embodiment, servo tracks are written to a magnetic disk using a servo pattern signal, the phase of the servo pattern signal being adjusted relative to a clock signal. In another aspect, timing errors in a servo track writer are characterised.

  • Patent number: 6674593
    Abstract: A clocking method and apparatus for a rotating storage medium uses a single reference frequency from which both the pattern frequency of a servo pattern signal and the rotational frequency of the storage medium are derived. During the servo track writing process, a clock track is read from the storage medium to obtain a clock signal having a clock frequency and the phase of the servo pattern signal is digitally adjusted relative to the clock signal so that the servo pattern signal is in phase with the clock signal.
