20080240448 | Simulation of Acoustic Obstruction and Occlusion - Realistic simulation of acoustic obstruction/occlusion effects in virtual-reality software applications is achieved by specifying whether a type of filter function is low-pass or high-pass and a cut-off frequency and stop-band attenuation of the filter function. The stop-band attenuation can be specified merely qualitatively, for example as “weak”, “nominal”, or “strong”. As a complement or alternative, obstruction/occlusion can be specified in terms of obstruction objects, such as blocking objects, enclosure objects, surface objects, and medium objects. An obstruction object is specified in terms of one or more environmental parameters and corresponds to naturally occurring acoustically obstructive/occlusive objects, such as curtains, walls, forests, fields, etc. The two specification types—filter specification parameters and environmental parameters—may co-exist in the same implementation or one or the other of the interfaces can be used in a particular implementation. | 10-02-2008 |
20080273708 | Early Reflection Method for Enhanced Externalization - Scenes having at least one simulated sound source and simulated sound-reflecting objects are simulated by processing a direct-sound signal with at least one head-related transfer-function, thereby generating a simulated direct-sound signal, and generating simulated early-reflection signals from the simulated direct-sound signal, including simulating early reflections having incidence angles different from the incidence angle of the direct-sound signal. Externalization of the simulated sound source is enhanced. | 11-06-2008 |
20090172060 | FILTER ADAPTIVE FREQUENCY RESOLUTION - In signal processing using digital filtering the representation of a filter is adapted depending on the filter characteristics. If e.g. a digital filter is represented by filter coefficients for transform bands Nos. 0, 1, . . . , K in the frequency domain, a reduced digital filter having coefficients for combined transform bands, i.e. subsets of the transformed bands, Nos. 0, 1, . . . , L, is formed and only these coefficients are stored. When the actual filtering in the digital filter is to be performed, an actual digital filter is obtained by expanding the coefficients of the reduced digital filter according to a mapping table and then used instead of the original digital filter. | 07-02-2009 |
20090262947 | Apparatus and Method for Producing 3D Audio in Systems with Closely Spaced Speakers - An audio processing circuit includes a crosstalk cancellation circuit that is advantageously simplified for use in audio devices that have closely-spaced speakers. In particular, crosstalk filtering as implemented in the circuit assumes that the external head-related contralateral filters are time-delayed and attenuated versions of the external, head-related ipsilateral filters. With this assumption, the circuit's crosstalk filtering is configurable for varying audio characteristics, according to a small number of settable parameters. These parameters include configurable first and second attenuation parameters for cross-path signal attenuation, and configurable first and second delay parameters for cross-path delay. Optional sound normalization, if included, uses similar simplified parameterization. Further, in one or more embodiments, the audio processing circuit and method include or are associated with a defined table of parameters that are least-squares optimized solutions. The optimized parameter values provide wider listening sweet spots for a greater variety of listeners. | 10-22-2009 |

20110152120 | METHOD OF CHARACTERIZING ANTIBODIES - A method of characterizing a population of antibodies to an antigen comprises contacting a sensor surface having the antigen immobilized thereto with a sample containing the antibody population to bind antibodies to the surface, and detecting dissociation of antibodies from the sensor surface during a dissociation phase when sample no longer contacts the surface. Based on the dissociation behaviour, the antibody population is characterized in terms of subpopulations of more and less stable antibodies, respectively. The method may be used to determine the immunogenicity of drug by monitoring the appearance of anti-drug antibodies in a patient over time, and determining any shift in proportions between more stable and less stable antibodies. | 06-23-2011 |
20130017624 | METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF BINDING STOICHIOMETRYAANM Karlsson; RobertAACI UppsalaAACO SEAAGP Karlsson; Robert Uppsala SE - A method is provided for determining binding stoichiometry for the interaction between a first molecule and a second molecule forming a complex between them. Either (i) a solution having a fixed initial active concentration of the first molecule is titrated with solutions of varying active concentrations of the second molecule, and the free active concentrations of the second molecule are measured; or (ii) a solution with fixed initial concentrations of the first molecule and the second molecule is incubated, and the free active concentrations of both molecules are measured. In the first case, the binding stoichiometry can be determined from the initial concentration values of both molecules and the free concentration value(s) of the second molecule at saturation; and in the second case from the initial concentration values of both molecules and the free concentration values of both molecules. Active concentration measurements are typically performed by an interaction analysis sensor, using a calibration-free analytical format at least for the determination of active initial concentrations. | 01-17-2013 |
