Publication number: 20230201687Abstract: The present disclosure provides grappling apparatus (100) for training a person (P) for wrestling. The grappling apparatus (100) includes multiple support members (102) for supporting the grappling apparatus (100) on a floor (F). The grappling apparatus (100) also includes at least one horizontal bar (108) having a length of about 1.5 meters to about 2.5 meters and configured to couple with the support members (102). The horizontal bar (108) is located at a height (H) of about 45 centimeters to about 70 centimeters from the floor (F), extends between two support members (102), and configured to allow the person (P) to grasp the horizontal bar (108) with hands, body, and legs.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventor: Paul Zukowski

Patent number: 11509981Abstract: An example loudspeaker arrangement includes a seat configured to support a listener sitting in the seat so that a head of the listener is in a listening position; and a loudspeaker array secured to the seat and disposed in a position in front of a backrest of the seat and to the side of the head when the head is in the listening position. The loudspeaker array includes at least one loudspeaker and has a main broadcasting axis representative of a main broadcasting direction, the main broadcasting direction of the loudspeaker array pointing to the head.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbHInventors: Markus E Christoph, Paul Zukowski, Florin Negrut, Tingli Cai, Andreas Frank

Patent number: 10796681Abstract: An automatic noise control system and method for a helmet with a rigid shell that is configured to spatially divide a shell interior from a shell ambiance include generating in connection with at least one loudspeaker disposed in the shell interior anti-sound in the shell interior based on at least one input signal. The anti-sound is configured to attenuate sound occurring in the shell interior through destructive superposition. The system and method further include providing the at least one input signal by at least one of picking up sound in the vicinity of the loudspeaker in the shell interior, picking up vibrations of the shell, and picking up sound in the vicinity of the shell exterior.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbHInventors: Paul Zukowski, Gerhard Pfaffinger

Patent number: 10453437Abstract: An exemplary sound reproducing, noise reducing method and system include supplying to a corresponding loudspeaker a useful signal that represents sound to be reproduced and an anti-noise signal that, when reproduced by the corresponding loudspeaker, reduces noise in the vicinity of the corresponding microphone. The method and system further include receiving audio input signals and processing the audio input signals to provide the useful signals so that the useful signals provide a more realistic sound impression for a listener wearing the helmet than the audio input signals.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: HARMAN BECKER AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS GMBHInventors: Markus Christoph, Paul Zukowski, Matthias Kronlachner

Patent number: 10390579Abstract: Emergency call processing in a helmet (100) with a rigid shell (101) that spatially divides a shell interior from a shell ambiance includes receiving an emergency indication signal, upon reception of the emergency indication signal establishing a speech link between a controllable transceiver and a counterpart transceiver via at least one wireless communication channel, and reproducing sound in the shell interior and picking up sound with a sensitivity that is higher in the shell interior than in the shell ambience. The sound reproduced in the shell is received from the counterpart transceiver and the sound picked-up in the shell interior is transmitted to the counterpart transceiver.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbHInventor: Paul Zukowski

Patent number: 10199031Abstract: An active awareness control system and method for a helmet with a rigid shell that spatially divides a shell interior from a shell ambiance includes receiving at least one playback-sound signal, generating in the shell interior from the at least one playback-sound signal playback sound, and receiving and processing at least one ambient-sound signal representative of sound occurring in the shell ambience to detect the at least one desired-sound signal. The generation of the at least one playback sound is put on hold when the at least one desired-sound pattern is detected.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbHInventor: Paul Zukowski

Patent number: 10186248Abstract: Active noise reduction systems and methods for a helmet with a rigid shell that spatially divides a shell interior from a shell ambiance include receiving at least one desired-sound signal representative of at least one desired sound pattern occurring in the shell ambience, and generating, based on the at least one desired-sound signal, anti-sound that is configured to interact with internal sound occurring in the shell interior through superposition. The internal sound includes first internal sound components and second internal sound components, the first internal sound components not corresponding to the at least one desired sound pattern and the second internal sound components corresponding to the at least one desired sound pattern. The anti-sound is further configured to attenuate the first internal sound components, and to amplify, not attenuate, or attenuate to a lesser degree than the first internal sound components the second internal sound components.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Harman Becker Automotive Systems GmbHInventors: Paul Zukowski, Gerhard Pfaffinger
