| 20130063726 | SENSOR AND A METHOD FOR CHARACTERISING A DIELECTRIC MATERIAL - The present disclosure provides a method of characterising a dielectric material. The method comprises the step of providing a light source, a light collector and a sensor. The sensor is arranged so that an evanescent field of light penetrates through a surface of the sensor and surface plasmons are generated at the surface of the sensor when suitable light is directed along at least a portion of the sensor. The method also includes the step of exposing the surface of the sensor to the dielectric material so that an interface is formed between the surface and the dielectric material. Further, the method comprises guiding light along at least a portion of the sensor to generate the surface plasmons. In addition, the method comprises the step of collecting an intensity of light from the interface as a function of a spectral parameter of the light. Further, the present disclosure provides an apparatus for characterising the dielectric material in accordance with the method. | 03-14-2013 |

| 20090106021 | ROBUST TWO MICROPHONE NOISE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM - A system, method, and apparatus for separating speech signal from a noisy acoustic environment. The separation process may include directional filtering, blind source separation, and dual input spectral subtraction noise suppressor. The input channels may include two omnidirectional microphones whose output is processed using phase delay filtering to form speech and noise beamforms. Further, the beamforms may be frequency corrected. The omnidirectional microphones generate one channel that is substantially only noise, and another channel that is a combination of noise and speech. A blind source separation algorithm augments the directional separation through statistical techniques. The noise signal and speech signal are then used to set process characteristics at a dual input noise spectral subtraction suppressor (DINS) to efficiently reduce or eliminate the noise component. In this way, the noise is effectively removed from the combination signal to generate a good qualify speech signal. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090197564 | TEMPORARY STORAGE OR SPECIALIZED TRANSMISSION OF MULTI-MICROPHONE SIGNALS - A communication device contains multiple microphones that receive acoustic signals from a user and from the background. The acoustic signals from the user are enhanced using the background acoustic signals to reduce background noise. The enhanced signal are transmitted to an emergency network when an emergency call is made from the communication device. The raw signals are stored in the communication device for later retrieval or are transmitted simultaneously with the enhanced signals. The enhanced signals are transmitted using a circuit-switched voice mode while the raw signals are transmitted using a packet-switched voice mode. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20120033817 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING A PARAMETER FOR LOW BIT RATE STEREO TRANSMISSION - A method for estimating a parameter for low bit rate stereo transmission that includes deriving estimate of any time delay between left and right audio channels in a multi-channel signal from a time delay subsystem. A cross-correlation between the left and right audio channels in the time delay subsystem is employed. Thereafter a normalized cross-correlation within an inter-channel intensity difference (IID) processor is employed before deriving estimate of panning gains for the left and right audio channels from the IID processor. | 02-09-2012 |
