Patent number: 12204811Abstract: The present disclosure describes a wireless microphone system that allows one or more microphones to wirelessly communicate with a receiver. Additionally, the wireless microphone system may allow for a plurality of microphones to be used interchangeably with the receiver. To ensure communication between the receiver and the one or more microphones, the receiver may occasionally transmit a synchronization signal to the one or more microphones. In response to receiving the synchronization signal, at least one of the one or more microphones may determine that a clock of the at least one microphone is drifting from the master audio clock of the receiver. The at least one microphone may then adjust the microphone's audio clock to re-synchronize the audio clock of the microphone with the master audio clock of the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2023Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Simon John Beavis, Scott Kuhn, Mike Handler, William Kevin Doss, Jack Wong, Christopher Frantisak

Publication number: 20070019207Abstract: An interferometer is provided, comprising a source, a unit under test (UUT) with at least a first surface and second surface, a reflective optic, a detector and light from the source. The light is transmitted through the unit under test and reflects off of the reflective optic, which directs the light back to the unit under test. A first portion of light is reflected off the first surface of the UUT. A second portion of light is reflected off the second surface of the UUT. The first and second portions of light are then reflected by the reflective optic and are then transmitted through the UUT. The two portions of light are incident on the detector, where the first and second portions of light coherently add and the interference pattern is detected by the detector. A method for measuring the transmitted wavefront of the UUT is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2006Publication date: January 25, 2007Inventors: William Kuhn, Matthew Dubin

Publication number: 20070019210Abstract: An interferometer comprises a time-delayed source, light emitted from the time-delayed source, a unit under test where the unit under test has a first surface and a second surface, and a detector. The light emitted from the time-delayed source has a delay length. A first portion of the light is reflected off the first surface of the unit under test and a second portion of the light is reflected off of the second surface of the unit under test. A portion of the two reflected portions of light are incident on the detector where the light coherently adds, which forms an interference pattern that is detected by the detector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2006Publication date: January 25, 2007Inventors: William Kuhn, Matthew Dubin
