Title: Jeremy David Sommerfeld: Audio System Inventor
Introduction
Jeremy David Sommerfeld is an inventor based in Nixa, Missouri, whose work focuses on loudspeaker configuration and synchronized audio transmission. He is associated with Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation and is listed as an inventor on 2 patents.
Latest Patents
Sommerfeld’s patent work includes inventions addressing flexible loudspeaker operation and the reliable delivery of packetized audio and power.
- **User Configurable Audio Loudspeaker.** This invention describes a non-powered loudspeaker system with a user-orientable routing card. Inserting the card in different orientations selects different operating modes, including which drivers are used and how they connect to amplifiers. The system includes one or more drivers mounted in an enclosure, an audio input interface, and a connector interface for the routing card.
- **Hybrid Clocking Scheme for Transmitting Packetized Audio and Power Over a Common Conductor.** This invention describes a distributed amplification system that sends Ethernet audio and Power-Line Communications signals over a shared conductor. A master clock synchronizes the transmitters at the source, while endpoint devices recover timing information to synchronize their audio receivers. The endpoints can also adjust and retimestamp packetized clock information using timing data from the PLC receiver.
Career Highlights
Sommerfeld’s listed inventions address practical challenges in audio system design. One provides users with a way to configure loudspeaker drive modes through a physical routing card, while the other supports clock synchronization across distributed audio endpoints.
Collaborations
Sommerfeld is associated with Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. His listed coworker is Joel A. Butler.
