20080205667 | Room acoustic response modeling and equalization with linear predictive coding and parametric filters - A method for determining coefficients of a family of cascaded second order Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) parametric filters used for equalizing a room response. The method includes determining parameters of each IIR parametric filter from poles or roots of a reasonably high-order Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) model. The LPC model is able to accurately model the low-frequency room response modes providing better equalization of loudspeaker and room acoustics, particularly at the low frequencies. Advantages of the method include fast and efficient computation of the LPC model using a Levinson-Durbin recursion to solve the normal equations that arise from the least squares formulation. Due to possible band interactions between the cascaded IIR parametric filters, the method further includes optimizing the Q value of each filter to better equalize the room response. | 08-28-2008 |
20080279318 | Combined multirate-based and fir-based filtering technique for room acoustic equalization - A combined multirate-based Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter equalization technique combines a low-order FIR equalization filter operating at a lower rate for equalization of a loudspeaker-room response at low frequencies, and a complementary low-order minimum-phase FIR equalization filter operating at a higher rate for equalization of the loudspeaker-room response at higher frequencies. The design of two complementary band filters for separately performing low and high frequency equalization, keeps the system delay at a minimum while maintaining excellent equalization performance. Splicing between the two equalization filters, for maintaining a flat magnitude response in the transition region of the two complementary filters, is done automatically through level adjustment of one equalization filter relative to the other. The present invention achieves excellent equalization at low filter orders and hence reduced computational complexity. | 11-13-2008 |

Pole angles and magnitudes for the all-pass filters are recursively calculated to minimize phase incoherence. A step of selecting an optimal cross-over frequency may be performed in conjunction with the all-pass filtering, and is preferably used to select an optimal cross-over frequency prior to determining all-pass filter coefficients. | 07-29-2010 |
20100310092 | CROSS-OVER FREQUENCY SELECTION AND OPTIMIZATION OF RESPONSE AROUND CROSS-OVER - A system and method provide at least a single stage optimization process which maximizes the flatness of the net subwoofer and satellite speaker response in and around a cross-over region. A first stage determines an optimal cross-over frequency by minimizing an objective function in a region around the cross-over frequency. Such objective function measures the variation of the magnitude response in the cross-over region. An optional second stage applies all-pass filtering to reduce incoherent addition of signals from different speakers in the cross-over region. The all-pass filters are preferably included in signal processing for the satellite speakers, and provide a frequency dependent phase adjustment to reduce incoherency between the center and left and right speakers and the subwoofer. The all-pass filters are derived using a recursive adaptive algorithm. | 12-09-2010 |

20130120324 | System and Method for Simulating Stiff Bristle Brushes Using Stiffness-Height Parameterization - A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium for simulating bristle brush behavior in an image editing application may use stiffness-height parameterization to determine the height of a brush tool above a canvas during a brush stroke. The determination may be dependent on the pressure applied during the stroke (e.g., using a stylus on a pressure-sensitive tablet), and on the stiffness of the brush bristles. The system may select a standard-stiffness or high-stiffness mapping between stylus pressure values and brush height values dependent whether the bristle stiffness value is above or below a pre-determined threshold. The standard-stiffness mapping may apply a linear function to pressure values to determine height values. Using the high-stiffness mapping, the effect of increased pressure on corresponding brush height values may be reduced as bristle stiffness is increased.
