Patent number: 11564041Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated circuit connectable to a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) transducer. The MEMS transducer is configured to generate a transducer audio signal in response to sound. The integrated circuit comprises a digital scrambling circuit coupled to a data communication interface. The digital scrambling circuit is configured to convert a digital audio stream, representative of the transducer audio signal, into a corresponding scrambled data stream. The integrated circuit additionally comprises a data bus interface coupled to the digital scrambling circuit and configured to output the scrambled data stream.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Knowles Electronics, LLCInventors: Andrzej Pawlowski, Henrik Thomsen, Rene Rye Larsen

Patent number: 9554214Abstract: A microphone includes a base, a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) device disposed on the base, and a front end processing apparatus disposed on the base and coupled to the MEMS device, the front end processing apparatus being configured to convert analog signals received from the MEMS device into digital signals. The microphone also includes a DSP apparatus, the DSP apparatus being a digital programmed device with a computer memory, the DSP apparatus configured to process the digital signals received from the front end processing apparatus. The MEMS device, the front end processing apparatus, and DSP apparatus are enclosed within a single microphone enclosure or assembly. During operation the DSP apparatus generates DSP noise. The DSP apparatus includes a noise reduction structure that substantially prevents the DSP noise from reaching or interfering with the operation of the MEMS device or the front end processing apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Knowles Electronics, LLCInventors: John Nielsen, Anders Svava Mortensen, Rene Rye Larsen, Robert A. Popper, Dibyendu Nandy, Jacob Midtgaard

Patent number: 7778432Abstract: A hearing aid is provided comprising a transceiver for interconnection of the hearing aid with a wireless network for communication with a plurality of other devices, and a communication controller that is adapted for controlling data exchange through the network in accordance with a simple network protocol. The hearing aid wireless network facilitates interconnection of a plurality of devices in the network, such as hearing aids, remote controllers, fitting instruments, mobile phones, headsets, door bells, alarm systems, broadcast systems, such as tele coil replacement, etc, etc. In an established network, the network master device, in a connected mode, regularly transmits synchronization data, e.g. comprised in a link management package, for synchronization of the slave devices in the network with the master device. During initialisation of the network, for example upon turn-on of two hearing aids, each device in an acquisition mode transmits interrogation data, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2004Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: GN ReSound A/SInventor: René Rye Larsen
