  • Publication number: 20210383791
    Abstract: The invention disclosed is an im-proved audio output module for use with an artificial voice generation device, having a housing separated into a sound system chamber, an interface chamber, and a power source chamber. The interface and power source chambers may be combined. The sound cham-ber is isolated from external air by the housing, the cover plate, and a separating wall, which separates it from other chambers of the module. Volumetric para-meters based on speaker characteristics and design re-quirements can thus be implemented independent from the choice of interface type. The module is con-figurable to be mounted to an external structure or to a speech generating system. It may likewise be de-tachable from a quick release cradle and receive wire-less audio signals from the speech generating system.

  • Patent number: 11100915
    Abstract: The invention disclosed is an improved audio output module for use with an artificial voice generation device, having a housing separated into a sound system chamber, an interface chamber, and a power source chamber. The interface and power source chambers may be combined. The sound chamber is isolated from external air by the housing, the cover plate, and a separating wall, which separates it from other chambers of the module. Volumetric parameters based on speaker characteristics and design requirements can thus be implemented independent from the choice of interface type. The module is configurable to be mounted to an external structure or to a speech generating system. It may likewise be detachable from a quick release cradle and receive wireless audio signals from the speech generating system.
