US Patent:

20080170709, Jul 17, 2008
Filed:

Jan 16, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/653671
Inventors:

Miklos Major - Ambridge PA, US
Michael Thomas Mecca - Pittsburgh PA, US
International Classification:

H04R 1/10
US Classification:

381 74
Abstract:

The present invention includes a sound transmitting device configured to fit in an ear canal wherein the device includes a housing and a removable plate attached thereto. In at least one embodiment, the removable plate includes a notch therein that is configured to receive a fingernail, for example, and facilitate the removal of the housing from the ear canal. In various embodiments, the housing includes a cavity which is configured to receive a transducer and the removable plate is configured to substantially close the cavity and retain the transducer therein. In at least one embodiment, the device includes a connector extending from the plate which is configured to receive a mating connector and place the mating connector and the transducer in electrical communication.

US Patent:

57896895, Aug 4, 1998
Filed:

Jan 17, 1997
Appl. No.:

8/785004
Inventors:

Michel Doidic - Los Angeles CA
Michael Mecca - Venice CA
Marcus Ryle - Los Angeles CA
Curtis Senffner - Sta. Monica CA
International Classification:

G10H 102
G10H 712
H03F 1900
H03M 162
US Classification:

84603
Abstract:

An electric guitar amplifier which utilizes a digital signal processor to produce vacuum-tube-like distortion without certain unwanted audio artifacts created by previous digital realizations of nonlinear, high-gain functions. By virtue of a microprocessor-controlled digital signal processor embodiment, the invention gives the user programmable control over parameters normally associated with state of the art guitar amplifiers (e. g. tone controls, reverb controls, tremolo controls, etc. ), as well as other musically useful parameters which are not normally included among the controls of a guitar amplifier (e. g. selection of preamp type, autovolume, reverberation type, autowah, etc. ).
