A microphone assembly (1700) includes one or more transducers (1702) positioned in a housing (1732). Circuitry (Fig. 8) is coupled to the transducer for outputting an electrical signal such that the microphone has a main lobe directed forwardly and attenuates signals originating from the sides and/or rear. The transducers can advantageously include multiple transducers which, with the circuit, produce a desired sensitivity pattern. The microphone assembly can be employed in a vehicle accessory.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 17, 2000 and granted October 18, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 17, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 17, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
