摘要： A wearable pendant is configured to be worn by a first speaker to record audio spoken by the first speaker of the pendant and to record audio spoken at least a second speaker who interacts with the first speaker. The pendant includes at least two or more microphones to pick up audio spoken by the first and second speakers. The audio is channelized and filtered to produce clean audio signals of the first and second speakers, which can be stored for subsequent processing.

摘要： A sound sensing device may include a housing having a dome-shaped shell and a baseplate. The housing may have a symmetrically shaped perimeter. The dome-shaped shell may have an arcuate cross section characterized by tangent lines that monotonically increase in slope from a top of the dome-shaped shell toward a bottom of the dome-shaped shell. At least three sound ports may be provided between an interior volume of the housing and an exterior surrounding of the housing, and disposed symmetrically and peripherally about the perimeter of the housing. The sound ports may be located at most 1 cm above the support surface.

摘要： A holder for a mobile phone includes a body having an opening to receive the mobile phone and having a bottom. The holder further includes a latch coupled to the body for holding the holder with the opening up; and includes rear walls, side walls and a front wall that includes an opening that corresponds to the screen of the mobile phone and includes a mechanism to force the mobile phone to press against the front wall to create a cavity of air between the rear of the mobile phone and the back of the holder, where the top of the cavity is open to allow sound to propagate from near the bottom of the mobile phone through the top thereby amplifying the sound making the sound propagate primarily in an upward direction. The holder also has a clip mechanism feature that uses upward tilted teeth that bite on the front side of a seat belt to allow secure holding even when the user is withdrawing their mobile phone from the holder.

摘要： An acoustic lens is presented that redirects high frequency voice sounds over a barrier to improve the intelligibility of speech when a protective barrier is used to isolate people from each other. The acoustic lens includes curved sheets to delay sound to create focal points on each side of a barrier, where the focal points are lower than the top of the barrier.

摘要： A holder for a smart phone that attaches to a seatbelt by using a scoop to pick up a seatbelt and then distort the seatbelt to secure the holder to the seatbelt. The holder includes a spring-loaded sliding jaw to accommodate insertion of the phone using a single hand. Once the phone is inserted, the smart phone is held in place by the spring-loaded sliding jaw which presses the smart phone against a non-moving jaw. The holder includes features that allow for easy one-handed operation including a landing area for the user's thumb, a flange to aid in removal of the smart phone, a tread to add friction to one of the thumb areas. The sliding jaw is located opposite of the point of the scoop.
