20090259586 | METHOD AND COMPUTER NETWORK FOR CO-ORDINATING FINANCIAL SERVICES/PRODUCTS - The invention relates to a method and a computer for coordinating an electronic qualification form between a consumer and a plurality of financial service providers and wholesale investors. After receiving qualification form data, a special processing computer applies a filter to the data. The filter comprises selection criteria provided by financial service providers and wholesale investors which allows these organizations to filter out qualification forms that they do not want. After the data is filtered, the qualification form can be transmitted to those organizations who match the data in the qualification form based on the filtration. According to one exemplary aspect, a financial coordinator who runs a computer matching engine can be a single point of contact for a consumer with respect to several wholesale investors of the financial coordinator who may offer the consumer financial products or services. | 10-15-2009 |

20140143367 | ROBUSTNESS IN A SCALABLE BLOCK STORAGE SYSTEM - A storage system that accomplishes both robustness and scalability. The storage system includes replicated region servers configured to handle computation involving blocks of data in a region. The storage system further includes storage nodes configured to store the blocks of data in the region, where each of the replicated region servers is associated with a particular storage node of the storage nodes. Each storage node is configured to validate that all of the replicated region servers are unanimous in updating the blocks of data in the region prior to updating the blocks of data in the region. In this manner, the storage system provides end-to-end correctness guarantees for read operations, strict ordering guarantees for write operations, and strong durability and availability guarantees despite a wide range of server failures (including memory corruptions, disk corruptions, etc.) and scales these guarantees to thousands of machines and tens of thousands of disks. | 05-22-2014 |

20120106742 | AUDIO CONTENT ENHANCEMENT USING BANDWIDTH EXTENSION TECHNIQUES - Methods, devices and computer program products facilitate the generation of high quality audio content. The audio content includes upper harmonics that are associated with a bass band of frequencies in order to enhance the perception of bass audio components that cannot be produced by the audio speakers. The upper harmonics are generated and processed in such a way that reduces the computational and memory requirements of the audio processing operations. The processed upper harmonics are combined with the original audio that are properly delayed to enhance the quality of the audio content. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the disclosed subject matter. Therefore, it is to be understood that it should not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims. | 05-03-2012 |
20130294614 | System and Method for Performing Voice Activity Detection - A Voice Activity Detection (VAD) algorithm provides a simple binary signal indicating the presence or absence of speech in a microphone signal. The VAD algorithm includes a first step of noise suppression which both estimates and removes (i.e., filters) ambient noise from the microphone signal to create a filtered signal. The magnitude of the filtered signal is then compared to a threshold in order to produce a VAD output signal. The threshold is dynamic and may be derived either from the filtered signal itself, or from a noise spectrum estimate calculated by the noise suppression step. | 11-07-2013 |
20130295868 | System and Method for Performing Automatic Gain Control in Mobile Phone Environments - A Dynamic Noise Compensation (DNC) telephone speech enhancement algorithm addresses the issue of environment noise on the listener end of a telephone call. A single microphone proximal to the listener provides a sample of near end ambient noise level and of near end speech. A Voice Activity Detector (VAD) detects the presence of near end (listener) speech. The DNC algorithm adjusts the far end incoming speech level based on the near end ambient noise and the VAD ensures that the near end listener speech does not effect the incoming speech level adjustment. | 11-07-2013 |
