  • Audible environment awareness restoring device
    Patent number: 5784478
    Abstract: An audible environment awareness restoring device allows a person to perceive, through his sense of touch, audible sounds corresponding to the human voice. A bone conduction speaker or transducer is mounted against a person's body, preferably against the sternum. An audio signal from one or more microphones is fed to the bone conduction speaker or transducer which converts the audio signal to vibrations. The bone conduction speaker or transducer transmits the vibrations to the person's rib-cage which will then resonate in synchronism with the input audio signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Bone conduction speaker and mounting system
    Patent number: 5687244
    Abstract: A bone conduction speaker and mounting system allows a person to perceive audible sounds, such as music, through his sense of touch. A bone conduction speaker or transducer is mounted against a person's body, preferably against the sternum. An audio signal is fed to the bone conduction speaker or transducer which converts the audio signal to vibrations. The bone conduction speaker or transducer transmits the vibrations to the person's rib-cage which will then resonate in synchronism with the input audio signal. The audio signal may also be simultaneously fed to regular audio speakers to allow a person to hear as well as feel the audible sounds or music.

  • Microphone mounting for a person's neck
    Patent number: 5163093
    Abstract: A mounting for a microphone includes a plate with an opening the plate being shaped and arranged so that it holds a microphone secured in said opening with the microphone contacting a person's neck. In this position the microphone can pick up sounds produced by the person through bone conduction.

  • Bone conduction microphone with mounting means
    Patent number: 5054079
    Abstract: A microphone assembly for mounting in a head gear of a person includes a microphone positioned in intimate contact with the person for receiving vibrations from the vocal cords by bone conduction, a housing for holding the microphone, a mounting ring for mounting the housing to the head gear and a damper element disposed between the microphone and the head gear for damping extraneous sides transmitted through the headgear before they are picked up by the microphone.
