20110264456	BINAURAL RENDERING OF A MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO SIGNAL - Binaural rendering a multi-channel audio signal into a binaural output signal is described. The multi-channel audio signal has a stereo downmix signal into which a plurality of audio signals are downmixed, and side information having a downmix information, as well as object level information of the plurality of audio signals and inter-object cross correlation information. Based on a first rendering prescription, a preliminary binaural signal is computed from the first and second channels of the stereo downmix signal. A decorrelated signal is generated as an perceptual equivalent to a mono downmix of the first and second channels of the stereo downmix signal being, however, decorrelated to the mono downmix. Depending on a second rendering prescription, a corrective binaural signal is computed from the decorrelated signal and the preliminary binaural signal is mixed with the corrective binaural signal to obtain the binaural output signal.	10-27-2011

20110249758	GENERATING AN OUTPUT SIGNAL BY SEND EFFECT PROCESSING - An output signal is generated from an input signal by applying a send effect processing to the input signal. The input signal comprises a weighted sum of component signals. Dependencies between the weighted component signals are represented by parameters. In accordance with the present invention, the output signal is generated in dependence of the parameters to compensate for an unequal weighting of component signals comprised in the input signal. Due to this compensation the strength of the send effect corresponding to the separate component signals is (nearly) proportional to the strength of each of the component signals, which results in more realistic surround experience.	10-13-2011

20110300270	COOKING DEVICE AND METHOD OF MEAL PREPARATION - A pre-loadable cartridge for retaining and dispensing of ingredients of a meal to be subsequently cooked, the cartridge including an ingredient separating portion of at least two compartments, one for solid ingredient and one for liquid ingredient. Also includes is a base portion that together with the ingredient separating portion defines a receptacle for retaining said ingredients in each compartment. The ingredient separating portion and base portion are moveable relative to each other. Each compartment includes a first aperture, and the base portion includes at least one second aperture, such that in use, the ingredient separating portion is able to be moved relative to the base portion to allow the first aperture of each compartment to be moved into operable communication with at least one second aperture to provide an outlet passage for ingredient in each compartment from the cartridge through the base portion.	12-08-2011
