  • Publication number: 20230133956
    Abstract: A bone conduction body support device is disclosed, including a body support device including a controller releasably engaged to a sidewall of the body support device. A first bone conductor is flexibly engaged to the body support device via a first string connected to a first eyelet positioned in an interior cavity of the body support device. A second bone conductor is flexibly engaged to the body support device via a second string connected to a second eyelet positioned in the interior cavity of the body support device. Each of the first bone conductor and the second bone conductor connected to the controller via an electrical wiring.

  • Patent number: 10918006
    Abstract: A method for reducing material accumulation relative to ground-engaging tools of a tillage implement includes receiving measurement signals from at least one accumulation sensor mounted to the tillage implement during a tillage operation. The measurement signals include a three-dimensional (3D) representation of an environment containing material accumulation relative to a plurality ground-engaging tools. The method also includes estimating an amount of material accumulation relative to the plurality of ground-engaging tools based on the 3D representation. Further, the method includes comparing the amount of material accumulation to an accumulation threshold. The material accumulation threshold is indicative of a given degree of material accumulation relative to the plurality of ground-engaging tools.

  • Patent number: 10751503
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a bone conduction system configured as a pillow, bed cushion, seat or similar body support device. The bone conduction system comprises a plurality of transducers positioned about the pillow, bed cushion, seat or similar body support. When ergonomically positioned on the user's skull, the plurality of transducers transmit sound waves to the inner ear.

  • Patent number: 10165366
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein related a moldable mounting wireless speaker system which provides a secure wireless communication link between a set of wireless speakers and a selected host mobile device once a pairing code is established. The system includes a set of wireless speakers, Bluetooth module, processor, and infrared transceiver module enclosed within a hermetically sealed housing and located at each end of a flexible and moldable mounting strip comprised of a plurality of spherical connectors. The system is configured to receive both infrared and radio frequency inputs and convert to a digital signal to initially authenticate the pairing code by attempting to match the pairing code from the host mobile device with a plurality of stored pairing codes within the memory. Once authenticated, a light emitting diode will be illuminated and visible through a translucent portion of the housing to indicate that the secure communication link is established.
