Publication number: 20120246228Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for sharing content. A user can acquire content, such as locally and/or remotely, that they wish to share with one or more recipients. The user provides or establishes one or more endpoints (e.g., email alias, cell-phone/text messaging address, etc.) for one or more recipients with which to share content using a sharing channel. A universal resource identifier (URI), comprising a link to the content to be shared is generated. Upon receiving an indication of sharing (e.g., drag-n-drop of content into the channel), at least one of the selected content and the URI are automatically sent to the one or more endpoints for the respective one or more recipients via the sharing channel. The user can thus share a plurality content with multiple recipients at multiple different endpoints in a single act.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2011Publication date: September 27, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ojiakonobi Udezue, Benjamin John Smith

Patent number: 7302070Abstract: The invention relates to oscillation detection and, more particularly, concerns a method and apparatus for identifying oscillation in a signal due to feedback, permitting appropriate action to be taken to suppress the oscillation. The method involves using an FFT device or similar to convert a signal at each of a series of successive time windows into the frequency domain, calculating, for each of a plurality of frequency bands, the change in signal phase from a time window to a subsequent time window, and comparing, for some or all of said frequency bands, the results of the calculation step to one or more defined criteria to provide a measure of whether oscillation due to feedback is present in the signal. For additional discrimination, the change in signal amplitude from a time window to a subsequent time window may also be calculated for each of the frequency bands, and the result compared with one or more further defined criteria. The invention has particular application in hearing aid devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Dynamic Hearing Pty LtdInventors: Peter John Blamey, Benjamin John Smith
