International Classification:

B41J 3/407

US Classification:

402 79, 40641, 206425

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention relate to dividers with tabs adjustable along at least two edges of the binder. One embodiment is directed to a divider for use in a binder. The divider comprises a panel, the panel comprising a binding edge and a plurality of non-binding edges, and a tab. The panel comprises at least one binding feature adjacent the binding edge and at least one tab mating feature adjacent at least first and second edges of the plurality of non-binding edges. The tab is configured to mate with the at least one tab mating feature. The at least one tab mating feature is configured such that the tab is positionable in at least two longitudinal positions along the first non-binding edge and in at least two longitudinal positions along the second non-binding edge.

International Classification:

G10K 11/175
H04R 29/00

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for closed-loop sleep protection and/or sleep regulation. According to an aspect, sleep disturbing noises are predicted and a biosignal parameter is measured to dynamically mask predicted disturbing environmental noises in the sleeping environment with active attenuation. Environmental noises in a sleeping environment of a subject are detected, input, or predicted based on historical data of the sleeping environment collected over a period of time. The biosignal parameter is used to determine sleep physiology of a subject. Based on the environmental noises in the sleeping environment and the determined sleep physiology, the noises are predicted to be disturbing or non-disturbing noises. For predicted disturbing noises, one or more actions are taken to regulate sleep and avoid sleep disruption by using sound masking prior to or concurrently with the occurrence of the predicted disturbing noises.

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for dynamically masking audible breathing noises determined to be generated by one or more sleeping partners. According to aspects, a subject's sleep is protected by detecting audible breathing noises in a sleeping environment, determining the audible breathing noises are not generated by the subject, and mitigating the perception of the audible breathing noises that are determined to originate from anther subject, such as a bed partner, pet, etc. The dynamic masking reduces the subject's exposure to unnecessary sounds and reduces the chances of masking sounds disturbing the subject's sleep.
