| 20090290764 | System and Method for Media Fingerprint Indexing - A fingerprint and indexing service is implemented to receive a media object and generate a fingerprint corresponding to the media object. The fingerprint and indexing service may segment the fingerprint into frames and generate a confidence value for each bit within each frame. The confidence values may be added together and totaled, such that each frame has a corresponding confidence score. The frames may be ranked, according to their confidence scores. N of the top ranked frames may be selected as the index. Subsequently, a search component may determine the index values for a query media object. The database of media objects may be searched for matching index values for fingerprints with fingerprint lengths matching the query media object's length. Once a match is declared, the fingerprints of the query media object and the matching media objects within the database may be compared to determine if a match exists. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20110144981 | CONTINUOUS PITCH-CORRECTED VOCAL CAPTURE DEVICE COOPERATIVE WITH CONTENT SERVER FOR BACKING TRACK MIX - Techniques have been developed to facilitate (1) the capture and pitch correction of vocal performances on handheld or other portable computing devices and (2) the mixing of such pitch-corrected vocal performances with backing tracks for audible rendering on targets that include such portable computing devices and as well as desktops, workstations, gaming stations, even telephony targets. Implementations of the described techniques employ signal processing techniques and allocations of system functionality that are suitable given the generally limited capabilities of such handheld or portable computing devices and that facilitate efficient encoding and communication of the pitch-corrected vocal performances (or precursors or derivatives thereof) via wireless and/or wired bandwidth-limited networks for rendering on portable computing devices or other targets. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110144982 | CONTINUOUS SCORE-CODED PITCH CORRECTION - Vocal musical performances may be captured and continuously pitch-corrected at a mobile device for mixing and rendering with backing tracks in ways that create compelling user experiences. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured in the context of a karaoke-style presentation of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Such performances can be pitch-corrected in real-time at the mobile device in accord with pitch correction settings. In some cases, such pitch correction settings code a particular key or scale for the vocal performance or for portions thereof. In some cases, pitch correction settings include a score-coded melody sequence of note targets supplied with, or for association with, the lyrics and/or backing track. In some cases, pitch correction settings are dynamically variable based on gestures captured at a user interface. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110144983 | WORLD STAGE FOR PITCH-CORRECTED VOCAL PERFORMANCES - Techniques have been developed to facilitate the capture performances on handheld or other portable computing devices and, in some cases, the pitch-correction and mixing of such vocal performances with backing tracks for audible rendering on such devices. Captivating visual animations and/or facilities for listener comment and ranking are provided in association with an audible rendering of a performance, e.g., a vocal performance captured and pitch-corrected at another similarly configured mobile device and mixed with backing instrumentals and/or vocals. Geocoding of captured vocal performances and/or listener feedback may facilitate animations or display artifacts in ways that are suggestive of a performance or endorsement emanating from a particular geographic locale on a user manipulable globe. In this way, implementations of the described functionality can transform otherwise mundane mobile devices into social instruments that foster a unique sense of global connectivity and community. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20120043905 | Method of Controlling an Operating Frequency of an Inverter Circuit in an Electronic Dimming Ballast - An electronic ballast having an inverter circuit for driving a gas discharge lamp prevents allows some hard switching to occur in the inverter circuit in order to ensure adequate ballasting impedance to provide stable operation of the lamp, but not enough hard switching to generate excessive power loss in the inverter circuit. The inverter circuit comprises two switching devices that are coupled in series between a DC bus voltage and circuit common and are rendered conductive on a complementary basis, such that a high-frequency output voltage is generated at the junction of the switching devices. When the intensity of the lamp is at or near a low-end intensity, an operating frequency of the high-frequency output voltage is controlled to a low-end frequency that is low enough to ensure stable operation of the lamp and to allow some hard switching to occur in the switching devices, but high enough to prevent excessive power loss due to the hard switching in the switching devices. | 02-23-2012 |

The host machine has a pair of soot models providing respective actual and modeled soot mass values for the soot contained in the particulate filter, calculates a ratio of a change in the actual and modeled soot masses, and executes a control action when the ratio exceeds a calibrated threshold. A diagnostic code and/or activation of an indicator device may be part of the control action. A system includes the particulate filter and host machine noted above. A method for use aboard the vehicle includes determining the actual and modeled soot mass values using first and second soot models, respectively, calculating a ratio of a change in the actual and modeled soot mass, comparing the ratio to a calibrated threshold, and executing a control action when the ratio exceeds the threshold. | 02-02-2012 |
