20090006113 | Method for Structuring and Controlling an Organization - The instant application provides a method for running an organization. Each individual in the organization is assigned to one of a plurality of circles. The circles uses dynamic steering in the performance of periodic governance meetings. The governance meetings are used to: define accountabilities, in which each accountability is an activity performed in service of the organization; define roles; assign to each role at least one of the accountabilities; assign to each individual in the circle at least one of the roles, wherein each individual filling a role is accountable to the organization for every accountability assigned to that role; and using a decision-making process to resolve identified tensions within the circle. Additionally, the circles use dynamic steering in the performance of periodic operational meetings. The operational meetings are used to: exchange information and make decisions requiring integration of multiple roles in the circle; review metrics relevant to the circle; and resolve tactical issues related to the circle. | 01-01-2009 |

20090278840 | VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT SIMULATING TRAVEL BY VARIOUS MODES OF TRANSPORTATION - A restaurant comprising a virtual reality environment simulating travel by a mode of transportation, such as a train or a boat, to allow individuals seating in the restaurant to have the impression of travelling while enjoying their meals. The restaurant comprises a dining room having side walls, each side wall having a series of windows. Screens are placed on opposed facing sides of the dining room at a distance behind the side walls. A set of projectors is provided for projecting a seamless flow of continuous passing by images of a landscape on the screens. A display control unit synchronizes the projection of the passing by images on the screens in order to create an illusion of travel through the landscape when viewed through the windows in the side walls. | 11-12-2009 |

20100110515 | NOTCH FILTER SYSTEM - A notch filter system, where multiple filter passes of a light signal may be effected for removing a target spectral component from the light signal, is provided. Advantageously, the notch filter system may be tunable. A cascade notch filter system is provided which includes multiple notch filters arranged in a cascade, each of the filters having spectral filtering characteristics and being disposed in the path of the light signal at an appropriate filter angle so that the target spectral component is filtered out of the light signal as the light signal passes therethrough. A multipass notch filter system is provided which includes a notch filter having spectral filtering characteristics, and an optical assembly for directing the light signal for multiple filter passes through the filter at an appropriate angle, so that the target spectral component is filtered out of the light signal as the light signal passes through the filter. | 05-06-2010 |

20120086570 | Digital telephony distressed sound detection - A system and method for monitoring for a distressed sound is disclosed. The system comprises a noise detection module configured to monitor ambient noise through a microphone on a digital telephony device operating in an idle state and determine an ambient noise level. A sound processing module is configured to process sounds received from the microphone that have an amplitude a selected amount greater than an amplitude of the ambient noise and determine if the processed sounds match a predetermined statistical model of a distressed sound. An assistance request module is configured to send a request for assistance via the digital telephony device for processed sounds that match the predetermined statistical model of the distressed sound. | 04-12-2012 |

20110268309 | HANDSET LEAK-TOLERANT RECEIVER - To provide leak tolerance an acoustic system for an acoustic receiver comprises a loudspeaker, a front cavity, a rear cavity and an acoustic connection. The loudspeaker has a front area and a rear area opposite the front area the front area having an opening through which sound is output. The front cavity is in proximity to the front area of the loudspeaker, the opening outputting into the front cavity, and the front cavity having a port to the exterior of the acoustic receiver. The rear cavity is in proximity to the rear area of the loudspeaker. The acoustic connection is between the front cavity and the rear cavity. In some embodiments, the rear cavity comprises an acoustic leak to the exterior of the rear cavity. | 11-03-2011 |
20130196715 | ADJUSTED NOISE SUPPRESSION AND VOICE ACTIVITY DETECTION - Dual microphones can be used to improve noise suppression by better distinguishing between speech and background noise. If the user does not hold the handset according to a prescribed orientation, however, the dual microphone noise suppression can actually do a worse job than a single microphone noise suppression algorithm because of mistakes made distinguishing between speech and noise. Here it is proposed to use an accelerometer to determine the orientation of the phone and use this orientation information in the noise suppression algorithm. Also when a person speaks, the vibrations when the device is held against the head can be used to detect speech. | 08-01-2013 |
20130243213 | SELECTIVE ADAPTIVE AUDIO CANCELLATION ALGORITHM CONFIGURATION - Audio processing devices and methods. An ambient microphone picks up ambient sound and a voice microphone picks up a speaker's voice. The voice microphone is located farther from the speaker's mouth when a device is held to one side of the speaker's face than when held to the other side. A signal indicates whether an expected position of the handheld body is a position on a left side or right side of a speaker's face. Ambient sound in the voice signal is reduced by applying a first algorithm configuration selected to process voice signals with lower signal-to-noise ratio when the expected position in on one side of the speaker's face, and by applying a second sound cancellation algorithm configuration selected to process higher signal-to-noise ratios when the expected position is on the other side of the speaker's face. | 09-19-2013 |
20130260839 | APPARATUS, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR CONTROLLING VOLUMETRIC OUTPUT LEVEL OF A HANDSET RECEIVER - An apparatus, and an associated method, provides for operation of a handset receiver at a volumetric output level of either a hands free mode of operation or a handset mode of operation. A noncontact proximity sensor detects proximity of the handset to a user. If the sensed proximity indicates that the handset is positioned proximate to the user, the maximum volumetric output level is constrained to be no greater than a maximum handset mode of operation level. If the sensed proximity is greater than a minimum distance, high volumetric output levels are permitted of the handset receiver. | 10-03-2013 |

20090067613 | Method and Apparatus for Routing Calls Based on the Identification of the Calling Party or Calling Line - A method and apparatus for routing calls for a subscriber based on the identification of the calling party or the originating line. Generally, the present invention operates to identify a calling party or originating line and then select a routing list based on this identification. Once a routing list has been selected, the call will be routed to the destination in the routing list. More specifically, when a call is received, an inquiry is made regarding the identity of the calling party or calling line. If the identification can be determined, then an attempt to retrieve a routing list associated with this identification is made. If a routing list has been provided for the identified party or line, the routing list will be retrieved. If a routing list has not been provided for the identified party or line, a default routing list will be selected for routing the call. | 03-12-2009 |
