Filed:

Jul 15, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/353425

Inventors:

Roman Sapiejewski - Boston MA
Michael J. Monahan - Franklin MA

Assignee:

Bose Corporation - Framingham MA

International Classification:

G10K 1116

US Classification:

381 716, 381 74, 381371, 381372, 381 711

Abstract:

A headset has an earcup with front opening adjacent to an annular cushion formed with a plurality of openings facing the inside of the earcup that acoustically couples the earcup volume to the cushion volume. A driver is seated inside the earcup with a microphone adjacent to the driver. Active noise reducing circuitry intercouples the driver and microphone. An acoustic load that may comprise a wire mesh resistive cover and/or air mass adjacent the microphone is constructed and arranged to reduce the effect of resonances in the earcup volume.

International Classification:

H04R 25/00

US Classification:

381382, 381370, 381371, 381374

Abstract:

An earphone includes a first acoustic chamber including a reactive element and a resistive element in parallel, a second acoustic chamber separated from the first acoustic chamber by an acoustic transducer, and a housing to support the apparatus from the concha of a wearer's ear and to extend the second acoustic chamber into the ear canal of the wearer's ear. A cushion includes a first material and a second material and is formed into a first region and a second region. The first region defines an exterior surface shaped to fit the concha of a human ear. The second region defines an exterior surface shaped to fit the ear canal of a human ear. The first and second regions together define an interior surface shaped to accommodate an earphone. The first material occupies a volume adjacent to the interior surface. The second material occupies a volume between the first material and the first and second outer surfaces.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/032000

Abstract:

A system that accepts and stores raw time and expense data for a plurality of businesses—each business defining a separate account that is accessible and usable by authorized users for the particular business. The inventive system automatically converts the raw time and expense data by considering any client or project-specific billing requirements (e.g., flat-fee, maximum fee, discount, write-offs, etc.) and by applying such specific requirements to the raw time and/or expense data in generating an invoice. The raw data may be referred to as internal data in that it is used only by the business providing a service to their client, and in connection with that business's account by the inventive system. A client will not have access to internal data. The invoice data, on the other hand, may be referred to as external data because it is communicated to the client and also used in connection with that business's account. The inventive system maintains the internal (raw) data, the external (invoiced) data, and other parameters associated with those data in a plurality of relational databases, and coordinates that data between and among a plurality of functionality including time bills, expense reports, time sheets, proposals, and project tracking functionality.
