US Patent:

20050239030, Oct 27, 2005

Filed:

Mar 30, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/812721

Inventors:

Jason Hou - Covina CA, US

Assignee:

MICA ELECTRONIC CORP.; a California Corporation - La Verne CA

International Classification:

G10H001/36

US Classification:

43430700A

Abstract:

A karaoke sound system had a mixer that combines the singer's real-time voice signal from a microphone with the pre-recorded background song/music signal from a player, an amplifier that receives the mixed signal from the mixer to provide amplification or gain boosting, a dedicated channel for the vocal signal from the microphone without using a mixing device, one or more speakers to output the mixed and amplified audio signal, and one or more speakers to output the vocal signal from the dedicated channel. The vocal channel allows the vocals to maintain an overall cleaner and vibrant sound, with a “live feeling” positional presence.

Appl. No.:

12/012104

Inventors:

Jason Hou - Covina CA, US

International Classification:

H04R 5/02

US Classification:

381300

Abstract:

A surround sound system includes a vertically elongated housing, a plurality of speakers arranged substantially vertically inside the housing, and one or more audio signal sources for outputting audio signals in multiple channels to the plurality of speakers. The multiple channels and speakers can be configured as a 5.1 system. The one or more audio signal sources may include a fixed media player embedded substantially within the housing, and a portable media player removably docked to the housing. A radio signal tuner and antenna are also included in the surround sound system and enclosed in the housing. The surround sound system may further include a Karaoke mixer and be used as a Karaoke performance machine.

International Classification:

H02J 50/20
H04B 5/00

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for wirelessly transmitting and receiving power between devices are provided. A first device may convert power into RF energy and transmit the RF energy to a second device. In some implementations, the first device may steer the RF energy using beamforming techniques to the second device. The second device may receive and convert the RF energy into power for the second device. In some implementations, the second device may be powered solely or in part by power transmitted by the first device. In some implementations, the first device may include two or more RF energy harvesters and a power combiner. The power combiner may combine power from the two or more RF energy harvesters to power the second device and/or charge a battery.
