Filed:

Jun 23, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/602902

Inventors:

Stephen Andrew Stickel - Austin TX
An Tran - Austin TX

Assignee:

Vermillion Corporation - Austin TX

International Classification:

A44B 1302

US Classification:

24597, 24265 H, 24324, 24662, 24905

Abstract:

A two-piece retention mechanism has a base and a snap ring that are individually mounted to two separate components that a user desires to releasably join. The snap ring has a round body with a hole for attaching the first component thereto. A conical element with a spherical tip protrudes from the snap ring body. The base has a cylindrical body for mounting to the second component. The body of the base has a cap with a rounded face and a conical opening that tapers down to a cylindrical hole. After the base and snap ring are mounted to their respective components, the snap ring may be removably connected to the base by inserting its spherical tip into the conical opening in the base. The complementary shapes of the snap ring and base allow for significant axial and angular misalignment. The snap ring and base elastically deform and emit an audible âsnapâ during this sequence. To disengage the snap ring from the base, the user simply pulls the snap ring away from base to overcome the retention forces.

International Classification:

H04R 1/10
G01H 3/10

Abstract:

An audio system and methods for detecting proximity between or engagement between a removable open-ear acoustic module and a host device. Upon detection of proximity or engagement, the audio system may adjust at least one device setting of the devices in the system. In some examples, the devices of the audio system are capable of obtaining specific identifying information about the other devices, and can be configured to adjust the at least one device setting based on device identity. For example, adjusting the device settings can include an adjustment to power state of the open-ear acoustic module, an audio equalization (EQ) setting, a volume setting, a bass level setting, a treble level setting, an Active Noise Reduction (ANR) setting, a user profile setting, selection of an algorithm of a plurality of algorithms related to data collection, a sensor calibration setting, and a user interface control setting.
