TAM System Patents
1. "System and method for detecting an action of the head and generating an output in response thereto," U.S. Patent No. 6,503,197, Jan. 7, 2003.

This patent outlines the method and control system of sensing an air pressure pattern resulting from a voluntary physical action and converting it into an output signal.

2. "Sensor pair for detecting changes within a human ear and producing a signal corresponding to thought, movement, biological function and/or speech," U.S. Patent No. 6,647,368, Nov. 11, 2003.

Once the transfer function between the ambient noise captured by the external microphone is established, it can be used to compute the component of the internal microphone signal due to ambient noise given the noise captured by the external microphone. Subtracting this component from the internal microphone signal can then produce a clean signal generated solely by the initiating action of the user.

3. "Ear microphone apparatus and method," U.S. Patent No. 6,671,379, Dec. 30, 2003.

This patent discusses an earpiece with a microphone and a speaker directed inside the ear, as well as a microphone directed outside of the ear. It outlines the method used for echo cancellation when the earpiece is used for communications.
