Publication number: 20170170918Abstract: First and second receiver devices can receive different information, such as audio and video information, from the same source and corresponding to the same event. In an example that includes radio (audio only) and video broadcasts, the received audio broadcast information can be delayed relative to the received video broadcast information. An audio signal delay circuit can be configured to receive and delay reproduction of the audio broadcast information, such as based on a user-specified delay parameter. In an example, a processor circuit monitors the audio information in real-time for a specified event, such as an emergency alert, and notifies the listener substantially without delay.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2015Publication date: June 15, 2017Inventors: Sam J. Nicolino, JR., Ira Chayut, Charles Edward Gibson

Patent number: 9461606Abstract: The systems, devices, and methods provided herein can be used with an audio source to automatically attenuate a signal from the audio source in response to information about a local environment. In an example, an attenuation network circuit can be used to provide automatic or “hands-free” adjustment of a headphone or headset volume level to compensate for changing background sound or noise levels. In relatively noisy environments, the attenuation network can provide little or no attenuation of an audio source signal, and in less noisy environments, the attenuation network can provide greater attenuation of the audio source signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Adaptive Sound Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sam J. Nicolino, Jr., Ira Chayut, Kuo Hsiung Wu

Patent number: 8379870Abstract: A method and device for transforming ambient audio are provided. Example embodiments may include monitoring ambient audio proximate to a sound processing device located in an environment. The device may receive a selection from a user interface. The selection may comprise one of a number of available first selections, each available first selection identifying one of multiple transformation modes. The device may access memory to obtain transformation audio and process the transformation audio, based on the ambient audio and the selection. The device may also use the transformation audio to provide modified output audio for propagation into the environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Adaptive Sound Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sam J. Nicolino, Jr., Ira Chayut, Stephen R. Pollock

Patent number: 8280067Abstract: A method and device for transforming ambient audio are provided. Example embodiments may include monitoring ambient audio proximate to a sound processing device located in an environment. The device may access memory to obtain transformation audio and generate output transformation audio based on the transformation audio and the ambient audio to provide modified output audio for propagation into the environment. The device may at least reduce feedback of the modified output audio received by the sound processing device from the environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2008Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Adaptive Sound Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sam J. Nicolino, Jr., Ira Chayut

Patent number: 8280068Abstract: A method and device for transforming ambient audio are provided. Example embodiments may include monitoring ambient audio proximate to a sound processing device located in an environment. The device may analyze the ambient audio to derive one or more first characteristics. Memory may be accessed to obtain at least one transformation audio from a number of stored transformation audio. Each stored transformation audio may have one or more associated characteristics. A characteristic associated with the transformation audio may match one or more of the first characteristics. The device may generate output transformation audio based on the one or more transformation audio to provide modified output audio for propagation into the environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2008Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Adaptive Sound Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sam J. Nicolino, Jr., Ira Chayut

Patent number: 7861067Abstract: The present invention utilizes an asynchronous pipeline cycle to facilitate increased average pipeline processing speed. Present invention adjustable cycle pipeline systems and methods minimize “stalls” in execution stages that would otherwise be required to compensate for differences in execution periods. In one embodiment, an adjustable cycle pipeline system includes a fetch stage, a decode stage, an execution stage, and a write stage. The fetch stage fetches information associated with an operation. The decode stage decodes the instructions including determining an instruction execution period. The execution stage executes instructions in accordance with the execution period and the write stage writes the results. In one exemplary implementation the instruction execution period corresponds to a particular number execution sub-clock cycles and the decode stage includes a decode operation timetable for indicating a period of time to complete execution of an operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2004Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventor: Ira Chayut
