20090252349 | METHOD OF LIMITING THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED SOUND VOLUME IN AN EARPHONE, AND AN EARPHONE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD - A method of limiting the maximum permitted sound volume in an earphone, a headset or the like, includes the step that the size of the driving signal for driving the earphone is sensed. The driving signal has a voltage that is less than approx. 0.7 V. If the driving signal exceeds a certain level, a part of the driving signal is shunted past the earphone. A second part of the driving signal is diverted. Either the voltage of the diverted part is increased and controls the shunt device by which the first part of the driving signal is shunted past the earphone, or it is supplied to a unit with a detector device and the shunt device. The unit is sensitive to work at voltages below approx. 0.7 V. An earphone or the like for the above-mentioned method comprises a shunt device and a detector device whose current source is the signal source of the earphone. | 10-08-2009 |

20100284361 | Channel Allocation In DECT Telecommunication Systems - A method for wireless digital radio communication is put into effect on a first number K of channels between a second number A of users. All A of the users are permitted to listen on one and the same listening channel. A limited number B of channels is used for outgoing speech communication. The communication on these channels is transmitted to all A users on the listening channel. A communication apparatus which utilises this method includes at least one stationary base unit ( | 11-11-2010 |
20140216447 | RESPIRATOR MASK SPEECH ENHANCEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD - Speech enhancement apparatus and respirator masks including speech enhancement apparatus, as well as methods of enhancing speech transmission for the wearer of a respirator mask are described herein. In one or more embodiments, the speech enhancement apparatus and methods described herein detect acoustic energy within a first frequency range in the clean air envelope of a respirator mask and deliver compensating acoustic energy outside of the clean air envelope using a speaker. The compensating acoustic energy is, in one or more embodiments, delivered in one or more predetermined attenuated frequency ranges that cover less than all of the detected first frequency range. In one or more embodiments, the compensating acoustic energy may be delivered with an attenuated amplitude profile that uniform or that is non-uniform over the one or more attenuated frequency ranges. | 08-07-2014 |
20140216448 | RESPIRATOR MASK SPEECH ENHANCEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD - Speech enhancement apparatus and respirator masks including speech enhancement apparatus, as well as methods of enhancing speech transmission for the wearer of a respirator mask are described herein. In one or more embodiments, the speech enhancement apparatus and methods described herein detect acoustic energy within a first frequency range in the clean air envelope of a respirator mask and deliver compensating acoustic energy outside of the clean air envelope using a speaker. The compensating acoustic energy, in one or more embodiments, exhibits a predetermined attenuated amplitude profile such that the compensating acoustic energy has an amplitude less than 6 dB greater than the acoustic attenuation profile of the mask body over at least 90% of a predetermined attenuated frequency range. | 08-07-2014 |
