US Patent:

20100104112, Apr 29, 2010
Filed:

Oct 23, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/256574
Inventors:

Edward Almquist - Bartlett IL, US
Steven P. DeCabooter - Palatine IL, US
Assignee:

Temic Automotive of North America, Inc. - Deer Park IL
International Classification:

H04B 15/00
US Classification:

381 941
Abstract:

Methods and systems for masking audio noise are disclosed. One apparatus includes a silence detector configured to detect a period of substantial silence in an audio signal; a masking noise source operably coupled to the silence detector, the masking noise source configured to generate a noise signal in response to the silence detector detecting the period of substantial silence; and at least one combining device operably coupled to the masking noise source, the at least one combining device configured to contribute to combining the audio signal and the noise signal. A method includes detecting a period of substantial silence in an audio signal; and combining masking noise with the audio signal during the period of substantial silence.

Filed:

Jun 6, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/489884
Inventors:

Steven DeCabooter - Middleton WI, US
Chuck Johnson - Verona WI, US
Dan Gilson - Madison WI, US
International Classification:

B01L 9/00
US Classification:

422561
Abstract:

A rack used in a device for preparing or analyzing a sample is provided. The rack includes, but is not limited to, a base, a plurality of walls extending from the base, a plate extending between the plurality of walls opposite the base, and a wireless power conductor. The plate includes, but is not limited to, a plurality of cavities. Each cavity of the plurality of cavities is configured to hold a receptacle that is configured to hold a liquid for analysis of a sample or each cavity of the plurality of cavities is configured to hold the liquid for analysis of the sample. The wireless power conductor is mounted to the base and is configured to receive energy by electromagnetic induction from a second wireless power conductor.
