Patent number: 11856356Abstract: A flexible arm that is configured to be located between and physically and electrically connect an acoustic module of an open-ear headphone to a battery housing of the open-ear headphone. The flexible arm defines an original resting length and position between the acoustic module and the battery housing. The flexible arm includes a flexible printed circuit that extends through the entire original resting length of the flexible arm and comprises a conductor that is configured to carry electrical energy between the acoustic module and the battery housing, and a flexible material that encases at least some of the flexible printed circuit. The length of the flexible printed circuit within the flexible arm is greater than the original resting length of the flexible arm. The flexible printed circuit can thus better accommodate tension or compression on the flexible arm as the flexible arm is bent from its original resting position.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Thomas Chambers, Caitlin Hanson

Patent number: 11500227Abstract: A modular audio system which includes an acoustic module configured to be removably engaged with a head-worn peripheral device. In some examples, the head-worn peripheral device is a pair of eyeglass frames and the acoustic module is configured to removably secure to a socket arranged on the inside face of the temples of the eyeglasses. The acoustic module can slidingly, pivotably, and/or magnetically engage with the socket such that, when secured, the acoustic module is configured to generate acoustic energy in the form of audible sound proximate a user's ear while the user is wearing the head-worn peripheral device. In other examples, the temples of the head-worn peripheral device are configured to slidingly engage with a sleeve, where the sleeve includes a pocket configured to slidingly engage with the acoustic module.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: An Tran, Craig Curtis, Sarah Wolfe, Caitlin Hanson, Jeremy Heaston, Kyle DeCubellis, Zachary Provost, Thomas Chambers, Matthew James Storey, Bennett Alexander Nadeau

Patent number: 8137676Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated equine influenza viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated equine influenza viruses having modifications to an equine NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN response. These viruses replicate in vivo, but demonstrate decreased replication, virulence and increased attenuation, and therefore are well suited for use in live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignees: Mount Sinai School of Medicine, University of KentuckyInventors: Peter Palese, Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, Thomas Chambers

The remote user communication device communicates messages using a second messaging service. The message from the user communication device is routed to a messaging interface gateway in accordance with configuration information associated with the remote user communication device. The message is routed from the messaging interface gateway to a messaging server associated with the remote user communication device. The messaging server is configured to use the second messaging service. The message is delivered to the remote user communication device using the second messaging service.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Neustar, Inc.Inventors: Sharon Fridman, Ben Volach, Ran Makavy, I-Hsiang Yu, Brian Rosen, Thomas Chambers Ely
