20140112487 | USING AN AUXILIARY DEVICE SENSOR TO FACILITATE DISAMBIGUATION OF DETECTED ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT CHANGES - Audio input may be received at one or more microphones of a mobile device. Based on the audio input, a change in an acoustic environment of the device, such as a change in a direction of arrival of the audio input or a degradation in a quality of acoustic echo cancellation being performed upon the audio input, may be detected. A determination may be made that the detected change coincides with a non-acoustic physical event detected using an auxiliary sensor at the mobile device. The event may for example be device motion, a new proximate object, a change in a proximity of an object, a new heat source or a change in a heat level from a known heat source. Based on the determining, a signal processor, possibly comprising an audio beamformer or echo canceller, may be recalibrated, e.g. the audio beamformer or echo canceller may be caused to reconverge. | 04-24-2014 |

20100224276 | Flexible, stretchable, crush resistant hose well suited for medical applications - A flexible, stretchable, crush resistant hose particularly well suited for supplying breathing gases to patients in medical applications and the like has a helix defined by coils of thermoplastic material, and a web of thermoplastic material bonded or welded to adjacent ones of the coils, preferably along inner diameter portions of the surfaces of the coils. The web extends radially outwardly from between the adjacent coils to define a helical reverse-direction crease at a maximum outer diameter of the hose when the hose is in a normal minimal-length condition wherein the coils are situated side-by-side sandwiching portions of the web therebetween. The thermoplastic material of hose is stress relieved by an annealing process after the hose is formed, to enhance the flexibility of the hose and the ease with which the hose can be extended. | 09-09-2010 |
20130092277 | Tapered helically reinforced hose and its manufacture - Helically reinforced, flexible tubing or hose is formed from continuously extruded thermoplastic material helically circumferentially wound at a wrapping station around an array of bearing-supported rods that are concurrently but individually turned and are canted relative to an imaginary center axis. The tubing or hose being formed has a continuous reinforcing rib helically wound therearound and continuously integrally connected thereto. The positions of the rods are progressively altered during formation of at least a contiguous portion of the length of tubing or hose, causing the resulting tubing or hose portion to exhibit a progressive continuous change in diametrical size. The resulting tubing or hose may be transversely severed at intervals along its length, and may be flattened to form cuffs near where severed. | 04-18-2013 |
20140102452 | Tube in tube breathing circuits - Similar lengths of corrugated stretch hose are components used to form a tube-in-tube breathing circuit assembly having a smaller diameter inner hose that extends loosely through a larger diameter outer hose. Overlying end regions of the inner and outer hoses are joined by connectors that communicate separately with each of the inner and outer hoses near opposite ends of the assembly. Exhaled breath from a patient that travels through the outer hose warms breathing gas supplied to the patient through the inner hose. In one form of preferred practice, the inner hose draws taut regardless of the extent to which the breathing circuit assembly may be extended, retracted and bent, which minimizes resistance to flow through each of the two hoses. | 04-17-2014 |
20140130931 | FLEXIBLE STRETCH HOSE HAVING INWARDLY EXTENDING WEB PORTIONS CONNECTING ADJACENT PAIRS OF REINFORCING COILS, WITH HOSE PROPERTIES ENHANCED BY ANNEALING - A flexible, stretchable, crush resistant hose particularly well suited for supplying breathing gases to patients in medical applications and the like has a helix defined by reinforcing coils of thermoplastic material, and a web of thermoplastic material bonded or welded to adjacent ones of the coils, preferably near outer diameter portions of the coils. The web extends radially inwardly between the adjacent pairs of the reinforcing coils to define a helical reverse-direction crease that can be located closer to or farther from a centerline of the hose than is the inner diameter of the reinforcing coils. The thermoplastic material of the hose is stress relieved by an annealing process performed during axial compression of the hose at a time after the hose has been formed. | 05-15-2014 |
20140326395 | Method of hose manufacture - A flexible, stretchable, crush resistant hose particularly well suited for supplying breathing gases to patients in medical applications and the like is formed by providing a helix of coils of thermoplastic material that are bonded to a web of thermoplastic material, preferably along inner diameter surface portions of the coils. The web extends radially outwardly from between adjacent coils to define a helical reverse-direction crease at a maximum outer diameter of the hose when the hose is in a normal minimal-length condition wherein the coils are situated side-by-side sandwiching portions of the web therebetween. The thermoplastic material of hose is stress relieved by an annealing process performed while the hose is axially compressed after the hose is formed. | 11-06-2014 |
20140332108 | Stretch hose and hose production method - An extensible-retractable helically reinforced hose is formed by helically wrapping a freshly extruded bead of thermoplastic material about a rotating mandrel to form a helical array of spaced reinforcing coils, and by helically wrapping a freshly extruded thin yet wide web of thermoplastic material so edge regions of the wide web are placed onto and bond continuously with the peripheries of each adjacent pair of the reinforcing coils, with a leading edge region of each new wrap of the web overlying and bonding to a trailing edge region of a prior web wrap. Central portions of each web wrap extend radially inwardly and are sandwiched between adjacent reinforcing coils when the hose is retracted to a minimal axial length. | 11-13-2014 |
