Systems and methods for reducing vibrations perceived by a human due to an artificial heart valve include a vest that is wearable around a torso of the human, a plurality of sensors mounted to the vest, a plurality of vibration-generating actuators mounted to the vest, and a controller. The plurality of sensors detects vibrations in the human generated by the artificial heart valve. The controller is operable to receive signals representing the detected vibrations from the plurality of sensors, and is operable to produce anti-vibration signals that substantially attenuate the detected vibrations. A first sensor of the plurality of sensors is located near a first vibration-generating actuator of the plurality of vibration-generating actuators to form a sensor/actuator set. In the sensor/actuator set, the anti-vibration signals generated by the controller for the first vibration-generating actuator correspond to the vibrations detected by the first sensor.

Systems and methods for dynamic voice accentuation and reinforcement are presented herein. One embodiment comprises one or more audio input sources; one or more audio output sources; one or more band pass filters; and a processing control unit that includes an audio processing unit, and which executes a method: differentiating between audio input sources as vocal sound audio input sources and ambient noise audio input sources; increasing the gain of the vocal sound audio input sources; inverting a polarity of an ambient noise signal received by each of the ambient noise audio input sources; and adding the inverted polarity to either an output signal of at least one of the one or more audio output sources, or to an input signal of at least one of the vocal sound audio input sources, to reduce ambient noise.

Dynamic voice accentuation and reinforcement

Cable assemblies include at least a first wire and a second wire. The wires are enclosed, using injection molding, by a respective layer of thermo-resistant material. During the injection molding, the first wire and second wire are kept substantially straight so as to avoid kinks in at least one of the first wire and the second wire that can develop subsequent to the molding if a wire is not substantially straight. The tension associated with the first wire and the second wire is kept within a predetermined range or below a predetermined threshold. The predetermined range/threshold depends on a temperature associated with the injection molding. The injection molding can provide a zip structure over the wires such that the zip structure can be zipped-together and zipped-apart to prevent entanglement of the wires when used by a user.

Preferred assemblies are directed to a cable assembly that includes a first electrical wire and a second electrical wire; with a thermo-resistant material that is molded around the wires. Zipper teeth are molded to the thermo-resistant material of both of the wires. The zipper teeth on the first wire are releasably attached to the zipper teeth on the second wire, and at least one reinforcing fiber is encapsulated with one of the wires.
