Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110184112SILICONE RUBBER COMPOSITIONS - There is provided a silicone rubber composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having a viscosity of at least 250,000 mPa·s at 250C, treated filler, and an organic peroxide curing agent. The composition is substantially free of reinforcing silica fillers and is characterised in that the filler comprises a mixture of aluminium trihydroxide and kaolin in a ratio of from 1:3 to 4:1.07-28-2011

20120127324Method and System for Display Characterization or Calibration Using A Camera Device - In a class of embodiments, a method and system for characterizing a display device using a camera device (e.g., a consumer grade, mobile camera device) to sense light emitted by the display device during display of one or more test images, and to generate measurement data characterizing the display and/or calibration data useful for calibrating the display device. In some embodiments, the display device is adjusted or calibrated manually in response to such calibration data, for example by user actuation of display device controls in response to calibration data indicative of display setting recommendations. In some embodiments, the test image(s) are embedded in a video stream (e.g., overlaid on arbitrary video content). For example, test images including appropriate timing information and calibration sequences are embedded in a video stream for display by the display device. In some embodiments, the user is prompted to align the camera device (e.g., to position the camera device such that light emitted from a test image at least substantially fills the camera field of view).05-24-2012

20110137662Audio Signal Transformatting - This invention relates to reformatting a plurality of audio input signals from a first format to a second format by applying them to a dynamically-varying transformatting matrix. In particular, this invention obtains information attributable to the direction and intensity of one or more directional signal components, calculates the transformatting matrix based on the first and second rules, and applies the audio input signals to the transformatting matrix to produce output signals.06-09-2011
20110170721BINAURAL FILTERS FOR MONOPHONIC COMPATIBILITY AND LOUDSPEAKER COMPATIBILITY - A method of processing at least one input signal by a set of binaural filters such that the outputs are playable over headphones to provide a sense of listening to sound in a listening room via one or more virtual speakers, with the further property that a monophonic mix down sounds good. Also an apparatus for processing the at least one input signals. Also a method of modifying a pair of binaural filters to achieve the property that a monophonic mix down sounds good, while still providing spatialization when listening through headphones.07-14-2011

20110165945Asynchronous Audio For Networked Games - In a game, multiple players are communicatively coupled with a network. A progression of game action states is tracked. The action states relate to events that occur during the game and a situation of each of the players that corresponds to the events. Upon reaching a first action state, in which a player is expected to utter a first vociferation based on that player's situation with respect to a game event that occurs in association with the first action state, it is detected whether the vociferation is uttered. The first vociferation is captured. The vociferation may be sent to the other players asynchronously with respect to its capture where it may be rendered locally.07-07-2011

20110268315Scalable Media Fingerprint Extraction - Derivation of a fingerprint includes generating feature matrices based on one or more training images, generating projection matrices based on the feature matrices in a training process, and deriving a fingerprint for one or more images by, at least in part, projecting a feature matrix based on the one or more images onto the projection matrices generated in the training process.11-03-2011
20120046772Low Complexity Auditory Event Boundary Detection - An auditory event boundary detector employs down-sampling of the input digital audio signal without an anti-aliasing filter, resulting in a narrower bandwidth intermediate signal with aliasing. Spectral changes of that intermediate signal, indicating event boundaries, may be detected using an adaptive filter to track a linear predictive model of the samples of the intermediate signal. Changes in the magnitude or power of the filter error correspond to changes in the spectrum of the input audio signal. The adaptive filter converges at a rate consistent with the duration of auditory events, so filter error magnitude or power changes indicate event boundaries. The detector is much less complex than methods employing time-to-frequency transforms for the full bandwidth of the audio signal.02-23-2012
