Philip R. Clements has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9344783
    Abstract: In a low frequency transducer system a multi-compression chamber, an inverse horn structure is employed in combination with a resonance-distortion filter chamber. The filter chamber effectively expands the effective enclosure volume at low frequencies and connected to one of the compression chambers filter parasitic resonances and distortion and allowing the system to more efficiently reproduce low frequencies while being able to use smaller diameter transducers and maintaining good system sensitivity. Compression chambers are organized for constant or continuous compression on a section-by-section basis throughout the inverse horn system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4373606
    Abstract: Both an improved loudspeaker enclosure and an improved acoustical process for generating sound radiation in a room is herein disclosed. Basically, the walls of the improved enclosure include a loudspeaker, and a sound transmission port for transmitting sound generated by the back of the loudspeaker cone into the room. The interior of the enclosure includes a tuned acoustical chamber for absorbing the even and odd harmonics of the system resonance frequency, and a compression chamber acoustically coupled at one end to the back of the loudspeaker cone. The compression chamber is acoustically coupled to both the tuned acoustical chamber and the transmission port of the enclosure walls by means of an acoustical coupling.
