Skip to comments.Sex researchers shed light on unpopular sex acts
Posted on 05/08/2005 3:09:58 PM PDT by wagglebee
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - From bondage to "breath play" and zoophilia, it's not easy keeping up with society's fast-developing sexual trends.
That's why some of North America's top sexologists are hunkered down with academics and therapists at a Fisherman's Wharf hotel this weekend: to swap findings about everything from teens with underwear fetishes to transgender couples.
"These couples have problems that I didn't know how to deal with," said Olga Perez Stable Cox, president of the Western U.S. region of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. "You have to understand the culture, otherwise you're an outsider, and you don't get it."
The theme for the society's four-day conference is "Unstudied, Understudied And Underserved Sexual Communities." Presentations range from discussions from autoerotic asphyxiation, or "breath play," to zoophiles, or animal lovers, to more mainstream topics like sex motives of dating partners.
"Let me tell you, it was not easy finding these pictures," Hunter College professor Jose E. Nanin told his audience in a seminar about "specialized" sexual behavior among gay men.
Nanin's photos are more than an explicit how-to of exhibitionism and sadomasochism, he says; they are examples of safe alternatives to sexual intercourse that need to be de-stigmatized in order to fight diseases like HIV/AIDS.
Researchers say their greater goal is to help the medical community, the public and legislators figure out what behavior is merely out of the norm versus downright dangerous.
"As sex researchers, one of our concerns is distinguishing what can be harmful and what is not -- so that instead of being based on myth, public policy can be informed," said Charlene Muehlenhard, professor of psychology and women's studies at The University of Kansas.
When authorities caught a Midwestern U.S. teenage boy stealing girls' underwear, they immediately demonized his underwear fetish, Pennsylvania State University researcher Patricia Barthalow Kosch said. Many clinicians attribute the boy's crime more to broken family relations. The crime was theft, not his sexual fantasies, conference attendees said.
Teen sexuality draws sensational headlines, but suffers from a lack of academic study, researchers said.
Kim Openshaw, a psychology professor at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, who studies teenage sex offenders, said the limited amount of research so far has found that girls make up only 5 to 10 percent of all underage sex offenders.
The numbers are underreported, Openshaw says, because many people are reluctant to acknowledge the problem.
Victims of girl sex offenders tend to be in the immediate family circle. Most perpetrators are victims of family abuse. By contrast, boy sex offenders tend to be more macho, violent and attack outside of their immediate family.
Amazing, isn't it, that they could conduct all this research with just one hand?
I bet you could find several over at the DU
>>ah, but any cop can tell you that these things "escalate"...first he breaks into houses to get underware, but with time many of these men act on their fantasies. So you see kidnapping, rape and murder.
If he merely wanted ladies underware, he could easily buy it or shoplit it. <<
Exactly, the difference is consent - or more precisely, informed, adult, human, consent. As soon as you are talking about acts when everyone doesn't consent or anyone is underage or it involves animals, it becomes something the state has an an interest in preventing. You don't need a religious argument although you can certainly add that.
Paul from Atlanta
Good to see you MadIvan! Stick around!
,,, yeah, right.
As long as the calliope is playing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, I don't see a problem. :)
Great - not only do we have to worry about Mad Cow Disease, but Gay Cow Disease, too?
Ummm.....could it be because you keep telling us about them?
Conquest and destruction are fine things but one must remain
mindful of popular opinion and appeal. Think of the youth.
If you happen to make Papal appearances with those crappy rims nobody will love you.
"It's otherwise known as bestiality, and according to the article is a "safe" alternative to intercourse and therefore useful for fighting the spread of AIDS."
What a foolish argument. Animals have their own diseases that they transmit and many can also be carriers for human diseases... Not to mention it's just plain wrong.
You've got to be kidding me......
Well said.
Incidentally, it is good that the effectiveness of a certain post-election opus was of limited duration.
Having sex with Loving the animals, of course.
Not if it's the wrong one!
I wondered the same thing--asked my hubby, "There are unpopular sex acts? Who knew?"
Ya learn something new everyday!
Reminds me of that CSI episode about folks who enjoyed dressing up in animal costumes. Furries, I believe they were called . . .
Believe me. It's the caliope music.
Am I the only remaining person in the known universe that still believes that teenagers have no business HAVING sex?
More folks would like them if they had cool spinner rims.
I guarantee that most of this is not new. We just need to hear about it, apparently. I'm sure my bro-in-law's family has been friendly with sheep for years.
But again, we're all here, and the thread is growing fast. Thread about the filibuster can't even get 20 posts!
Great, no AIDS, but mange cases are going to go through the roof.
That's the ticket. Making acceptable things like strangling your sex partner and having sex with sheep will fight diseases like HIV/AIDS. These researchers are brilliant.
Think of all the time, effort and money that was wasted in explaining to people that sodomizing each other, and sharing needles, will cause diseases like HIV/AIDS to spread. We've had it all wrong, what we really need to be doing is convincing people that it is acceptable to engage in even more bizarre behaviours.
We'll have to get federal funding for that.
Maybe these rumors are the reason you weren't elected pope.
Definitey less strange than sounding is.
I take it that this is the new, nonjudgmental term for bestiality.
More folks would like them if they had cool spinner rims.
Stolen spinner rims. I'm tellin' Roger!
Muddy Waters playing in the background would really make it work....
And blackberry jam in place of the marmalade.
I do believe the Bible speaks of characteristics of a degenerate society that's eliminated laws that became the fabric of society for millenia.
I felt fairly justified!
An older friend of mine recently retired as a law enforcement officer. He always liked telling about the five times he was called to stop a strange individual in one of our communities from having sex with three cows and two horses.
He even caught the man in the act and took a polaroid of it, but that didnt even stop him.
What stopped him was getting kicked by a horse.
It's choking someone out while they climax.
....and who is paying for this scientific research?
Some things better left unknown.
The alphabet soup of GLTQQ/BLT is getting soupier, and yukkier I might add.
As opposed to the other kind of bestiality?
"As opposed to the other kind of bestiality?"
Well said.
Yeah, I realized after I wrote it that it was somewhat redundant.
Argh, I thought I pung it out... I'll double check. It's so freaking unsavory.
Not if you really love the sheep . . .
I can't believe they didn't pick you. Does this mean you'll run for antipope? I hear the position is still open. :-)
Syphillis is one. Comes from sheep.
>>That's why some of North America's top sexologists are hunkered down with academics and therapists at a Fisherman's Wharf hotel this weekend: to swap findings about everything from teens with underwear fetishes to transgender couples.<<
Nope, that's not why. I think this bunch of nutty lefties go off on pictures of and a discussion about weird acts. An orgy of porn disguised as a study.
Specialized sexual behavior among homosexual men? Considering their "normal" sexual behavior, the notion buggers the imagination.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
I almost don't want to ping this out, it's so extremely distasteful....Blechh. But, doing my duty regardless of personal feelings, here it is. Gotta know what the sick freaks and leftists (but I repeat myself) are up to. Know thine enemy, it is really necessary.
BTW, the pic of the girl and little goats (#29) is really cute; having been around goats here and there I've got a soft spot for baby goats. And in a very normal way, I might add!
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
Glanced at the article again and noticed that this - meeting? or whatever is people by ACADEMICS and THERAPISTS.
Avoid them like the very plague.
Sex researchers? I want to know how one gets a Ph.D. in sex research and can someone please tell me which universitites offer this course of study? Thanks in advance. I knew I would find something to get me back into the classroom in retirement....
Have a friend getting one in sex therapy from Drexel in Philadelphia. Her husband gets quite a few comments!

UPDATE: The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that voters will not need to show voter ID for the elections this year.
The League endorsed S. 2865, the Voter Registration Modernization Act which promotes the use of online voter registration.
The League joined a letter calling on the U.S. Senate to hold up or down floor votes during the September work period to ensure the Election Assistance Commission is fully staffed. The EAC is vital to ensuring that the right to vote for all eligible Americans is not compromised and that elections run efficiently and fairly.
September 8, 2014
Update 9/29: The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the earlier ruling discussed below, thereby limiting early voting options in Ohio for the 2014 elections. Read more about the Court's decision.
The League joined other organizations on a letter to the U.S. Census Bureau regarding tabulation procedures for incarcerated people.

EDITORIAL NOTE: This article was originally published on President MacNamara's Huffington Post blog.
This week marks the anniversary of the House of Representatives' passage of the 24th Amendment, landmark legislation that sought to outlaw the poll tax as a voting requirement in federal elections. After ratification by the states, the 24th Amendment became law in January 1964.
Earlier this month, a federal judge denied a preliminary injunction barring North Carolina's new restrictive elections law.
A year after the Supreme Court's Shelby County v. Holder decision gutted a vital protection of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the National Commission on the Voting Rights (NCVR), led by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, released a groundbreaking national report revealing where and how minorities continue to experience discrimination in the U.S.
The League is dedicated to ensuring that all eligible voters – particularly those from traditionally underrepresented or underserved communities, including first-time voters, non-college youth, new citizens, minorities, the elderly and low-income Americans – have the opportunity and the information to exercise their right to vote.

Could I be wrong about the $5 floor? I've been right about the pump and dump for ten years now, and I've traded this into a comfortable retirement. I pity the buy and holder here, but you're all generally dull.
Ha ha! My guess is that you live on a meager pension and use your library's internet to post #$%$. I doubt you've ever been right about anything in your life.
Haven't been wrong about this stock in ten years. So, I own you.

It's really not been a good week for the War Z team at Hammerpoint Interactive. This evening they deployed a new patch which fixes the following:
- Early revive was removed
- Revive time is set to 1 hour
- Scoreboard was updated
- After dying, you will get disconnected automatically in 60 seconds
- Some more Christmas items were added. Try to find them in the Colorado
- Zombies were optimized, should improve framerate in Campos, Boulder city
- Fixed an issue with items sometimes falling through the ground
- Fixed an issue when you were not able to pick up an item if it is partially inside the wall
- Fixed an issue that using bandages on other player were not updating item's cool-down properly
- Crosshair in 3rd person view was improved
- Fixed an issue with grass on low frame rate
There's a bit of a kicker with this update. Players started to find themselves with a 72 hour ban, or in some cases perm banned, for carrying out simple tasks like picking up game objects or even approaching a zombies.
In light of recent events this week, players need to be reminded that the game is really quite incomplete and buggy and these sorts of bugs are going to continue to appear. We do urge gamers not to pick the game if they're going to be frustrated with game-breaking bugs, War Z needs a lot of work, more work than you may have been lead to believe.
And yet they refuse to even acknowledge that their game is in Beta or Alpha, instead claiming its a "Foundation" build that excuses them from whatever they are doing (mostly wrong). It's no surprise about the harsh response towards them, specially on steam where its actually somewhat worse, with alleged abuse of moderator powers to silence any form of negative criticism.
I can't see this game going anywhere. The devs keep shooting themselves in the foot and shoving their shoes in their mouths. I would have been interested had they not shown their complete lack of professionalism.

He has done action, comedy and thriller and now actor-producer Akshay Kumar is interested in exploring roles with shades of grey, something that he has done in the past.
"I will keep on doing scripts that I like. When I did 'Khakee', it was earlier given to Paresh Rawal. When Rajkumar Santoshi approached me, I really liked the role. I really liked the character. So if I like the role, I would like to do it. I admire villain roles. I would love to play a villain," Akshay told reporters here Tuesday. He was celebrating the success of his recent release "Special 26", which sees him as a conman.
When asked whether negative roles would affect his image, he said: "It's just a film and I have played villain three times earlier." The actor had played a negative role in "Ajnabee" and even got nominated for Filmfare in the negative role.
The 45-year-old is one of the blockbuster stars who is churning out big hits like "Rowdy Rathore" and "Housefull 2".
Another thing on his wish list is regional cinema.
"Regional films are doing well and I am producing a Marathi and a Punjabi film as well. If I get some good subject, then I will work in it as well," said Akshay who produces films under Hari Om Productions as well as Grazing Goat Productions, which he co-owns with Ashvini Yardi.

Here's What a $5,000 Sink Looks Like
Warning: do not fall in love with this sink unless you have a cool five grand burning a hole in your pocket. Whoever decided to take "everything but the kitchen sink" clearly did not own this sink, because leaving this sink behind anywhere would just be wrong. So, so wrong.
How To Make an All-Natural Kitchen Cleaner
Cleaning Lessons from The Kitchn
Cooking for the holidays is a messy business. Between dirty dishes, sticky countertops, and scraps of pie dough on the floor, you're going to need a trusty cleaner to have on hand this season.

A Chalkboard Wall and a Dresser in the Kitchen? It Really Works Here!
Kitchen Spotlight
Ali and Dustin's Denver kitchen is full of surprises! For starters there's the chalkboard wall with the bike hanger, which makes for quite a dramatic entrance. But it's the little rustic details around the space that really make it special.
Emily Henderson's Brass and Marble Kitchen Backsplash
Kitchen Inspiration
I've long been a fan of stylist Emily Henderson's work. The former host of HGTV's Secrets of a Stylist does gorgeous things with color, pattern, and texture. The woman has an eye. So it's no surprise that her kitchen renovation is just as beautiful and creative as the rest of her work. Is that brass grout I see? Oh yes.
Fancy, Fabulous Herringbone Wood Floors in the Kitchen
Kitchen Inspiration
Herringbone wood floors were once reserved for public spaces in the home, like the parlor. Such intricate flooring would not have been installed in a private room like the kitchen. But today, the kitchen has stepped it up as a gathering and entertaining space where guests are likely to frequent. Maybe that's why we're seeing such a surge of fancy, herringbone-patterned flooring in the once-humble kitchen!

Kitchen Before & After: A Magical Mosaic Backsplash
Kitchen Remodel
When the new owners moved into this house, they found the kitchen to be a little bit sad. The colors were pretty, and everything was simple and clean, but the design of the kitchen was unimaginative, so they worked with a local interior designer to improve the layout and brighten up the space.
But the most memorable part of the new kitchen happened almost by accident. Their designer, Tracey Stephens, was inspired by a broken plate that the owner discovered when unpacking. Take a look to see one of the most creative remodel elements we've ever seen!

Advice for Cleaning Stubborn Marks Off a Wood Countertop?
Good Questions
Q: I have a cherry wood counter top, and I left a metal loaf pan sitting on it for a few hours and now there's a black outline mark on the wood. Any suggestions for getting it out? Soap and water isn't budging it, nor is a fine sander. Thanks!

How To Oil Butcher Block Countertops
Cleaning Lessons from The Kitchn
A fresh look for your butcher block countertop doesn't haven't to involve the headache of extensive sanding to rejuvenate the surface. An application of food-safe oils (or another of the options we'll share below) can restore the surface's sheen and help recondition with each application.

Washington feels equipped for March
SEATTLE Jon Brockman stood atop a ladder Washington had been climbing for more than half a century.
The rugged senior snipped a strand of net then grabbed a microphone that was feeding the public-address system of his home arena on Saturday. Amid the roars of delirious fans who had stormed the court after the Huskies won their first outright conference championship in 56 years, Brockman recalled reaching the second weekend of the NCAA tournament during his freshman season in 2006, when Brandon Roy was a Huskies All-American.
"I have a feeling this group right here has a chance to do something a little more special!" Brockman yelled over the din.
No. 13 Washington (24-7, 14-4) enters the Pac-10 tournament on Thursday as the top seed. Lorenzo Romar, who won his second Pac-10 coach of the year award in four years, believes his team could be a No. 3 or No. 4 seed in NCAA tournament the following week while perhaps playing close to home in a regional at Portland, Ore.
His headstrong Huskies – overlooked as the fifth-best team in their conference before the season and by fans that think the Pac-10 has been weak during it – believe they have the unselfishness and mettle to go further than any Washington team since 1953.
That was the last Washington team to win an outright league title, the Pacific Coast Conference, before it lost in the national semifinals.
"All I can say is, whoever's playing us, look out," senior guard Justin Dentmon said Monday, after he and Brockman were selected first team all-conference. "They are going to have a hard time playing us, a hard time defending us."
And maybe a hard time cracking them.
The Huskies' selflessness and unity after two years without an NCAA bid has become similar to winning in this success-starved city: Contagious.
Romar saw the change in attitude in the preseason. Players not wanting to let each other down showed up on time and ready for weight-training and running sessions, for classes on the main campus up the hill. Those who were even a minute late "got in pretty good shape," Romar said with a wry smile.
"That laid the foundation of creating a team environment in every area," he said.
But that unity took awhile to show during the regular season. Washington inexplicably lost its opener at Portland of the West Coast Conference in November.
Romar said he thought freshman point guard Isaiah Thomas, a high school star from Tacoma, Wash., who scored 51 points in a state tournament game, played like he wanted to score 30 points in his collegiate debut. Thomas had 10.
Then came a 19-point loss to Kansas on national television in Kansas City, Mo., nine days later. Washington scored a season-low 54 points and had eight assists, a selfish display that led to a player-led team meeting – and a season revival.
The Huskies were improved – 23 assists, 84 points – and more unified in a two-point loss to Florida the following night, which left them 2-3. Then Thomas embraced his role as a creator of points and opportunities for teammates. Dentmon, relieved of point guard duties with Thomas' emergence, went from benched last season to indispensable, making huge shots late in games.
Brockman, whose 58 double-doubles are the most of any active college player, averaged 14.8 points, just behind Thomas (15.4) and Dentmon (15.3).
Washington then won 13 of 14 to wrest Pac-10 supremacy away from UCLA. Thomas became the Pac-10's freshman of the year. And Dentmon was its most improved player.
The same Washington team that was overlooked for much of the season cleaned up in the awards the Pac-10 announced on Monday.

India's premium SUV market has grown significantly. It now has multiple levels and nearly every manufacturer has a vehicle across price ranges. The latest to enter the fray is Mercedes-Benz with its GLC SUV. This is a new part of the Indian market that they are entering as the car's predecessor; the GLK was never made in RHD format. It will take the fight to the established players like the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 both of which have been in the Indian market for a significant period. Ahead of the GLC's official launch on June 2, we have decided to dig deeper and give you an idea of what Mercedes-Benz has to offer with the GLC.

The Audi Q5 and the BMW X3 have had it easy up until now as they never really had a competitor from arch rival Mercedes. Yes, the cheaper version of the ML or now the GLE came close but it was always more expensive and it was more of a stopgap variant than a full blown contender. Finally, the wait will be over, come 2nd of June, 2016, when Mercedes launches the much talked about GLC SUV.

Response to The 25 Greatest Happy Meal Toys Of The '80s:
My dad still has all the Fraggle Rock toys from when I was a kid. He let my daughter play with them last time we visited and she loved them. The quality on those things is amazing!
Also, I disagree with the people who say all the Happy Meal toys now are crap. I have small children and they definitely have the best toys of all the restaurants. Now, Wendy's is a different story. Their toys SUCK.
I smacked my little brother in the head with one of those Dinosaur toys when we were fighting and caused him to need stitches. Ooops.
I agree for this list to be accurate that it needs to include "Oops…I Did it Again" or "Lucky". Also, I don't know what you are talking about, that Coldplay song was EVERYWHERE and I didn't live in the UK.

Pretty sure they'll go over this at the race on Saturday, but in case there's an easy answer: How do you mount these damn things? It showed up in an envelope with no instructions, no nothing. Does it change according to the promoter/venue/whatever? I'm thinking it goes at the bottom of the fork with zip ties, right? Technology.
Thanks. Cheers.

By W. C. BROWNELL
CRITICISM itself is much criticized--which logically establishes its title. No form of mental activity is commoner, and, where the practice of anything is all but universal, protest against it is as idle as apology for it should be superfluous. The essentially critical character of formularies alleging the inferiority to books of the books about books that Lamb preferred, finding the genesis of criticism in creative failure, and so on, should of itself demonstrate that whatever objection may be made to it in practice there can be none in theory. In which case the only sensible view is that its practice should be perfected rather than abandoned. However, it is probably only in--may one say?____________________

So you use terminal vim, and you use tmux, and you want everything you yank, delete, or cut to go to your system clipboard, and you want to be able to paste code you copy from the internet. Here's what you do in 5 easy steps (assuming you're on OSX and have homebrew):
since the version of vim that comes with OSX does not support using the system clipboard, we'll use mvim instead. This command will also alias vim, vi, view, vimdiff, etc. (credit to @smlstvnh):
brew install macvim --override-system-vim && brew linkapps
and we'll use this handy plugin to get tmux to play nice with the system clipboard:
brew install reattach-to-user-namespace
tell vim to use the system clipboard:
- in .vimrc:
set clipboard=unnamed
- in .vimrc:
tell tmux to use the system clipboard:
- in .tmux.conf:
set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l bash"

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a customized passive hearing protection earplug and to a method for manufacturing the same.
2. Description of Related Art
A large part of the population is exposed to hazardous noise from time to time. This can be at work, whilst traveling, during leisure activities or at home. The exposure can lead to permanent hearing loss, distract people's attention from other hazards or simply cause stress. In order to prevent both accidents and permanent hearing damage, hearing protection devices (HPDs) have been provided in many styles and over many years. It started with the earmuff which is still very relevant and addresses very noisy environments (e.g. airports, construction, shooting) or complex working/communication situations (e.g. fighter pilots). Over the years development of biocompatible soft materials has enabled soft earplugs in different styles and colors as well as recent development of "one fits many" standard semi-soft earplugs in silicon-rubber type materials. For severe situations even the combination of an earmuff and an "in-the-ear" HPD is required to achieve desired attenuation. The physical limitation of hearing protection based on ear worn devices is defined where bone-conduction (body acoustics) becomes dominant at around 40 dB attenuation.
A common disadvantage of the above mentioned HPD styles is wearing discomfort. In case of the earmuffs, they are large which creates difficulties in combination with other head worn gear and they "close off" the ear too much for most applications. The in-the-ear styles mentioned are devices made to fit "the average" ear in one way or the other. Either the fit is provided by softness of the material which leads to undefined device insertion and undefined attenuation, or the fit is provided by standard shaped structures intended to block off the ear canal. In both cases the flat distribution of the individual shape of the outer ear and the ear canal leads to bad fit, pressure points in the ear and undefined positioning of the device.
To address this wearing comfort issue, in-the-ear hearing aid technology has been applied making customized ear molds with passive acoustical filter. These are long lasting devices with good wearing comfort. However, this customization process is traditionally a very manual process creating varying results over time, low reproducibility and the quality is very operator skill dependent.
The idea to use rapid prototyping technology, such as layer-by-layer laser sintering, in manufacturing shells, primarily for hearing aids, is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,533,062 B1 or US 2003/0133583 A1.
HPDs are often passive (i.e. not powered) and some simply amount to a plug in the ear; while more sophisticated (but still passive) HPDs may include acoustic chambers and filters, for passing or attenuating selected frequencies.
Different in-ear devices are presently used in a wide range of human activities. From the performance standpoint, in particular with respect to comfort, HPDs, like hearing aids, really have to be custom-fitted to an individual's ear shape. In-ear devices are inserted into the outer part of an individual's ear canal and, depending on the size of the in-ear device, may as well occupy parts of an individual's concha, also called pinna.
Often, in-ear HPDs or earplugs of some standard size and a certain damping characteristic are used to cover hearing protection needs of a wide variety of different ear anatomies. For a certain individual, a prediction of the performance of such an earplug is difficult and it is not possible to adapt the earplug's filter characteristic to specific needs of an individual. However, in many cases customized passive HPDs that provide a predictable attenuation of acoustic energies across the audible frequency range are desired. With conventional shell making technology, this has been prepared in form of a more or less sophisticated filter module component. This component is mounted in or on the shell faceplate and provides a defined acoustic "gate" through the HPD. Supply of such filters is rather limited, prices are high and the flexibility in application is not convincing.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,148,821 discloses a selective non-linear attenuating soft earplug which is a passive in-the-ear (ITE) device. A filter tube is inserted into the shell, and the hollow interior of the filter tube may be set into communication with the surroundings by rotating it. A sound attenuating filter is inserted into the distal end portion of the tube. When the filter whose attenuating characteristics cannot be modified, is to be changed against another filter, the tube must be removed from the earplug, and the filter must be replaced. The tube is then to be reinserted into its receiving cavity of the HPD.
Another type of filter is described in the published U.S. patent application no. 2003/0112990; this document is directed to an expandable in-ear device. The filter may be a band-pass filter; it has the shape of a little rectangular block to be inserted into a square-sectioned opening of the earplug from which it slightly protrudes to the exterior. The filter is removably locked to a handle of the HPD that is in turn secured, preferably glued, to the earplug platform. Thus, the filter can normally not be removed from the HPD.
Customized earplugs having a shell with an outer shape corresponding individually to the measured inner shape of the user's outer ear and ear canal which are produced e.g. by layer-by-layer laser sintering from a powder material are described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 6,533,062 B1.
The increasing demand for fully customized HPDs will require flexible devices that are individually fitted regarding both the anatomy and the acoustics of the wearer's ear. For evident reasons, short delivery times and low costs will be determining for a widespread use of new HPDs.
Known prefabricated filter assemblies as such described above are either complicated to handle or, although allowing short delivery, remain expensive.
It is an object of the present invention to provide for a customized hearing protection earplug which allows for an individual and flexible sound attenuation function and which is easy to manufacture. It is a further object to provide for a corresponding manufacturing method.
This object is achieved by a hearing protection earplug as defined in claim 1 and by a manufacturing method as defined in claim 16. The invention is beneficial in that, by providing the shell with a filter cavity having at least one orifice into which a passive acoustic filter element is inserted for forming, together with said orifice, a passive acoustic filter, a semi-integration of the acoustic filter function into the shell is achieved so that, although a standard filter element may be used, an individually optimized acoustic filter function may be achieved by individually shaping and sizing the filter cavity, i.e. the orifice receiving the filter element, which forms the "tube part" of the filter, in order to achieve the desired attenuation function.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which, for purposes of illustration only, show several embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
Basically, earplugs can be divided into four types, the so called completely-in-canal earplug, the mini-canal earplug, the half-shell earplug, and the full-shell earplug. The full-shell type earplug is the largest earplug type and the outer portion 13 would cover large parts of the earlap. For a full-shell type earplug, the outer portion 13 would have a more complex shape according to the individual's ear's shape. A completely-in-canal type earplug is the smallest earplug type and is hardly visible when worn by the user. For a completely-in-canal type earplug, the outer portion 13 essentially would have the shape of an ellipsis or circle.
The distal end of the shell 10 forms a faceplate and comprises a through-hole or filter cavity 12 which comprises orifices of different sizes. As an example, in
The passive acoustic filter 21, see also
The upper and lower horizontal bordering surfaces of the passive acoustic filters 21, 31 may be sound transparent in a manner known per se. For example, the passive acoustic filter bodies 25, 35 may have the general shape of cylinders. Thickness and/or diameter of the passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31, and therefore of the filter bodies 25, 35, may vary according to the desired attenuation or frequency response.
A pair of projections 27, 37 is attached to the bodies 25, 35 of the passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31, with the projections 27, 37 being shaped to fit within the mating grooves 22, 32.
The insertion of the passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31 into the orifices 20, 30 is simple. The passive acoustic filter 31 is inserted first. The filter body 35 is introduced from above into the orifice 30 and rotated until the two pairs of projections 36 are aligned with the corresponding recesses 34 respectively, and the passive acoustic filter now falls home into the orifice 30. The filter body 35 is now turned by about 90¯ so that the projections 36 remain captioned within the grooves 33. The insertion of the passive acoustic filter 21 is done accordingly.
Suitable means (not shown) may be provided to retain the passive acoustic filters 21, 31 in their inserted position. For example, the grooves 22, 32 may have a depth that diminishes in the regions where the projections 27, 37 should be blocked, or the projections may be shaped in an appropriate manner to be clamped in the grooves; this possibility is indicated in
The passive acoustic filters 21, 31 may be removed from the orifices 20, 30 by executing the above-indicated steps in the reverse manner.
The described arrangement of orifices 20, 30, 40 and passive acoustic filter elements 21, 32 act together to form a passive acoustic filter. Since part of the filter function or characteristics is determined by the shape and size of the filter cavity 12, i.e. of the orifices 20, 30, 40, (i.e. the orifices 20, 30, 40 provided for the "tube part" of the filter), the filter may be considered as a semi-integrated filter. In particular, the shell 10, i.e. the orifices 20, 30, 40, does not only serve to fix the filter elements 21, 31 but also serves to "tune" the filter by the selected shape and size of the orifices 20, 30, 40 and the selection of the points where the filter elements 21, 31 are located within the orifices 20, 30, 40. In general, main parameters for adjusting the filter characteristics of the semi-integrated passive filter may be the number of orifices, sizes of orifices, as well as sizes and material of the passive acoustic filters. These parameters are determined when the earplug is manufactured, for example according to an acoustic model of the user's ear-canal with inserted earplug.
Generally, the shell 10 is a customized hard shell having an elasticity from shore D 85 to shore D 65, for example made of polyamide, and an outer surface individually shaped according to the measured inner shape of the user's outer ear and ear canal. The customized shell may be produced by an additive or incremental build-up process, such as layer-by-layer laser sintering (also known as "selective laser sintering") of a powder material. The inner shape of the user's outer ear and ear canal may be measured, for example, by three dimensional (3D) laser scanning of the ear or by taking an impression of the ear which then undergoes 3D laser scanning. Such manufacturing processes are described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 6,533,062 B1.
Preferably, the shape and/or the axial length of orifices 20, 30, 40 and/or the position at which the passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31 are fixed within the respective orifices 20, 30 is individually selected according to a desired acoustic filter function of the filter elements 21, 31 acoustically cooperating with the orifices 20, 30, 40. According to a preferred embodiment, these parameters are individually determined according to the measured inner shape of the user's outer ear and ear canal for individually optimizing the desired filter function. By an appropriate selection of these parameters of the filter cavity 12, i.e. of the shell 10, an individual filter function may be achieved even when using low-price standard filter elements 21, 31.
After having been manufactured, the geometry of the orifices cannot be changed easily anymore. However, according to the procedure described above, passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31 may be easily exchanged. Therefore, for example, when the wearer of the earplug wants to adapt the HPD to a certain acoustic environment, different acoustic damping needs can simply be realized to some extent by an appropriate exchange of passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31.
The simple exchange of the passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31 also provides ease of service of the earplug, for example a cleaning of the shell 10 and replacement of the passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31 after exposure to a dirty environment. Further, it is possible to define a standard set of passive acoustic filters 21, 31 and use parameters of the orifices for a proper design of the semi-integrated passive filter. A standard set of passive acoustic filters will lead to lower manufacturing costs and lower service costs as well.
The outer horizontal surface of the passive acoustic filter elements 21, 31 may be provided with means for an easier seizing of the filter element in order to insert or to remove it. Instead of one pair of angularly spaced projections 27, 37, it is possible to provide three, four or even more projections that have of course a smaller angular extension, etc. Several filter structures as shown in
An example in which the filter cavity is provided in a distal wall of the shell is illustrated in
The sound input opening 1032 is provided with a mechanical peak clipper 1004, a multi-purpose cord adapter element 1014 with an in-situ measuring hole for optionally connecting the measuring hole to an external measuring tube 1024 or to a plug for closing the measuring hole in the normal operation of the earplug, and a sound inlet opening which is provided with a button 1002 which is manually operable in the direction 1003 to act as an attenuation button closing the sound inlet opening or as communication button opening the sound inlet opening for sound input into a sound passage 1036 which merges at its distal end with an in-situ measuring channel or tube 1016 which is acoustically connected to the measuring hole in adapter element 1014 and which extends to an inner sound opening 1034 at the inner end of the shell 1000. The resonance cavity 1008 is provided with an inner mechanical structure 1030 for frequency tuning. The tubes 1036 and 1016 are formed integral with the shell 1000. Further, also an insert cavity 1007 for a RFID (radio frequency identification device)-tag 1006 and an insert cavity 1012 for a detectable metal part 1013 are formed integral with the shell 1000. At the adapter element 1014 or at the plug for closing the measuring hole of the adapter element a cord fixation ring 1018 may be provided for fixing a neck cord 1020 at the shell 1000 for preventing loss of the earplug. The ring 1018 or the cord 1020 also may serve to manually pull the earplug in the axial direction 1022.
In the following, these additional features and their functions will be explained in more detail.
Multipurpose Cord Adapter
In order to confirm acoustical performance of an HPD, an in-situ measurement tube is implemented to allow measurement of attenuation when the individual wears the device. Naturally this tube needs to be closed off during normal operation. The core element of this tube is the faceplate component referred to a multipurpose cord adapter 1014 that embodies several functions and features: fixation of external in-situ measurement probe tube 1024, one possible holder of the cord fixation ring 1018 for the neck cord 1020, holder of an ergonomic pull means (e.g. the cord fixation ring 1018,) for an inverse anatomy switch, holder of a plug for closing the in-situ tube during normal operation. If the element is made of metal it can serve as a metal component for detection purposes 1013 which in that case spares an extra insert cavity 1012. The design of the multipurpose cord adapter element 1014 is given extensive freedom (shape, material, insertion/removal concept, etc.) due to the base technology used for the faceplate portion of the earplug 1001.
Communication/Attenuation Button
A core function of a passive HPD is to enable temporary audio bypass for purposes like listening to speech, alarm or other desired audio signals even though they are mixed with loud noise. This is often performed by a push/return-button opening a tube either bypassing the filter of the system or leading into the in-situ measurement probe tube 1016 on the inside of the closing plug to be connected to the adapter element 1014 when the measuring tube 1024 is removed. The integration of such a device into the faceplate 1001 overcomes many drawbacks of similar standard component solutions (e.g. complex tubing, acoustical leakage). An even more integrated solution is achieved by building the switch directly into the multipurpose cord adapter core element 1014 replacing the sealing plug. If the button is made of metal it could serve as a metal piece for the detection function, thereby eliminating the need for the separate metal part 1013.
Inverse Anatomy Force Button
A further level of integration of the on/off switch is based on the shell technology combined with the natural anatomy of the outer ear. In addition to a defined audio "leak" via a tube 1016 through the HPD, there is the alternative of creating a temporary leak between the device and the outer ear by slightly pulling the device out of the ear. This pull can be done by the cord 1020 or directly by grip and pull on the cord ring 1018. If the shell 1000 is shaped in an appropriate manner, the ear shape is such that the device will be naturally pulled back in place when the pull is relaxed.
Intelligent Passive HPD
Inserting a device into the ear principally blocks the acoustical tube (ear canal) and destroys the natural outer ear amplification and frequency shaping (open ear gain, OEG). The open ear has a natural resonance in the frequency area of the most critical speech information, hence this loss is a real loss and not normally desired. The resonance frequency is given by the length of the tube; hence there is a need for compensation of the reduced length. This can be individually modeled and implemented with a defined acoustical front (outer) chamber 1008 and artificially stretched to a desired length by a mechanical means 1030 for resonance shaping directly integrated into the shell making process, possibly in combination with frequency shaping filter 1010 and means for maximum power limiting such as a mechanical peak clipper 1004.
Mechanical Peak Clipping
Many applications for HPDs experience strong variations in noise exposure over time. The extreme example is people shooting with guns (military, hunters) where speech communication in-between the actions is strongly desired and where the sound gets very loud for a short time. In active devices such conditions have been solved with so-called "peak clippers" which are fairly easy to implement in electronics and which limit the output of the device independent of the input signal while leaving the signal undistorted for normal noise levels. For a passive device this can be realized by a pressure sensitive valve 1004 opening or blocking the audio canal at the sound inlet.
Detectable HPD
HPDs are mostly used in industrial environments. In the food processing industry an additional requirement also affects these devices. Any foreign particle (to the food ingredients) must be detectable within the production process. For HPDs this implies that the devices need to contain a certain amount of metal to enable the detection equipment to find it if lost in the production line. Metal can be inserted into HPDs in a number of different ways: metal can be mixed into the shell base material 1000, a specific metal component 1013 can be mounted in a prepared cavity 1012, the cord adapter faceplate element 1014 can be made of metal and the button part of the on/off switch 1002 can be made of metal. In a HPD with a RFID tag, the tag itself is detectable if the equipment for detection is implemented in the production line.
HPD Wearing Compliance
Wearing of HPDs in industrial environments obliges to regulations in most countries. Assuming that the devices have the desired protective effect when they are worn (most other topics described address this very issue), the wearing itself becomes the compliance control topic. With recent developments in miniaturized RFID (radio frequency identification devices) technology, it becomes feasible to implement such devices into a customized HPD given the shell technology described. The RFID tag 1006 is inserted into a predefined cavity 1007 and when the wearer passes through gateways equipped with RFID detection systems, the positions of the two HPDs can be obtained and the control function carried out according to whether a predefined condition regarding the detected positions is fulfilled or not (e.g. separation of the HPDs according to the width of the head and height of the HPDs according to the ear height). As mentioned, the RFIDs can also serve as HPD detection devices in food production processes.
Basic Functions
Functions that conventionally are mounted components, such as a grip handle for insertion and removal of the HPD, can easily be integrated with use of the shell technology. The product design and assembly more and more becomes a software issue and the individual product is increasingly designed to order according to the specific requirements of each customer.
While various embodiments in accordance with the present invention have been shown and described, it is understood that the invention is not limited thereto, and is susceptible to numerous changes and modifications as known to those skilled in the art.

- 2 acorn squashes (about 1 1/2 pounds each), halved and seeded
- 1/2cup bulgur
- 4ounces manchego or Cheddar, grated (about 1 cup)
- 3ounces cured chorizo, chopped
- 1/4cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 3tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 head red leaf lettuce, leaves torn (about 6 cups)
- Heat oven to 450° F. Place the squash halves cut-side down in a baking dish, add ¼ inch water, cover with foil, and bake until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bulgur according to the package directions. In a medium bowl, combine the bulgur, manchego, chorizo, parsley, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Turn the squash halves cut-side up and, dividing evenly, fill with the bulgur mixture. Bake until the filling is warmed through and the manchego is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the lettuce and toss to combine. Serve with the squash.

Princess Belle was always my favorite Disney Princess because I thought I looked the most like her. I also loved to read and was a little off the wall so I really related to her.
