Patent number: 12185078Abstract: Systems and method are disclosed for facilitating efficient calibration of filters for correcting room and/or speaker-based distortion and/or binaural imbalances in audio reproduction, and/or for producing three-dimensional sound in stereo system environments. According to some embodiments, using a portable device such as a smartphone or tablet, a user can calibrate speakers by initiating playback of a test signal, detecting playback of the test signal with the portable device's microphone, and repeating this process for a number of speakers and/or device positions (e.g., next to each of the user's ears). A comparison can be made between the test signal and the detected signal, and this can be used to more precisely calibrate rendering of future signals by the speakers.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Inventors: David P. Maher, Gilles Boccon-Gibod, Steve Mitchell

The media pack includes a formed filter media and an abrasion resistant barrier coupled to the formed filter media. The support body is disposed within the central cavity. The abrasion resistant barrier separates the media pack from the support body. In some instances, the media pack also includes a plurality of adhesive beads disposed between the abrasion resistant barrier and the formed filter media and coupling the abrasion resistant barrier to the formed filter media.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2022Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Cummins Filtration Inc.Inventors: Yashpal Subedi, Alexis Orea Amador, Steve Mitchell Hiles, Steve Anderson, Mark P.

Patent number: 8307603Abstract: Methods and tooling for constructing a stair unit are provided. The methods incorporate tooling and tables to create templates (two for each tread) that, when laid along a series of hypotenuse marks on the stringer from the table, will dictate the geometry, cutting, and fitting to the treads, without using a framing square. Brackets are used to conjoin the stringer, tread material, and tread framing so that the tread width is not limited by the lack of strength of the tread material. The methods then incorporate the bracket in a tread module to provide further convenience and sequencing options for the assembly of the stair unit. An alternate method combines aspects of the template and the bracket to hold continuous support for the tread, accomplishing a cut stringer look. The result is less time and material expense with better strength, fit and finish.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Ascend Stair CompanyInventors: Steve A.
