Abstract: Described is a multiple phase process/system that combines spatial filtering with regularization to separate sound from different sources such as the speech of two different speakers. In a first phase, frequency domain signals corresponding to the sensed sounds are processed into separated spatially filtered signals including by inputting the signals into a plurality of beamformers (which may include nullformers) followed by nonlinear spatial filters. In a regularization phase, the separated spatially filtered signals are input into an independent component analysis mechanism that is configured with multi-tap filters, followed by secondary nonlinear spatial filters. Separated audio signals are the provided via an inverse-transform.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to providing and restricting access to content. In aspects, information (e.g., a URL) that identifies content and a user is provided to a user. In conjunction with providing the information to a user, a data structure (e.g., an access control list) is updated to indicate that the user has access to the content. The user may use the information to access the content and/or may send this information to other users. The other users may use the information (e.g., by pasting it into a browser) to access the content and may be added to the data structure so that they may subsequently access the content without the use of the information. Access to the content via using the information may be subsequently revoked.
