Patent number: 10872619Abstract: A system processes data signals consisting of sums of independent signal terms, zero or more of which signal terms may already have been identified, in order to generate one or more additional terms. Deflated versions of the data signals are created by subtracting from the data signals any previously identified signal terms. Additional independent signal terms are computed using a set of reference signals organized into mutually independent partioning support sets. The images of each support set are computed on the data signals. Computed images on a data signal that are non-zero are identified as additional independent signal terms of that data signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Speech Technology & Applied Research CorporationInventors: Richard S.

Patent number: 10718742Abstract: In environments (such as acoustic and bioelectrical environments) characterized by multiple simultaneous sources, effective blind source separation from sensor response mixtures becomes difficult as the number of sources increases-especially when the true number of sources is both unknown and changing over time. However, in some environments, non-sensor information can provide useful hypotheses for some sources. Embodiments of the present invention provide an adaptive filtering architecture for validating such source hypotheses, extracting an estimated representation of source signals corresponding to valid hypotheses, and improving the separation of the remaining “hidden” source signals from the sensor response mixtures.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignees: Speech Technology and Applied Research CorporationInventors: Richard S.

Patent number: 10067093Abstract: A system processes data signals consisting of sums of independent signal terms in order to generate one or more of those terms. The generated terms are computed using a set of reference signals to construct alternative support sets, whose images are computed on the data signals. Computed images that are independent of the residue of the data signal minus the image are identified as independent signal terms, as are the residues. These initial signal terms are used to compute additional terms. Identified terms from different data signals are organized into independent slices, and slices whose terms are supported by sets of reference signals are associated with those supporting sets.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignees: Speech Technology & Applied Research CorporationInventors: Richard S.

Publication number: 20140249824Abstract: A computer-implemented method identifies a spoken audio signal representing speech of a person and estimates a physiological state of the person based on the spoken audio signal. For example, the method may identify articulatory patterns (such as landmarks) in the speech and estimate the person's physiological state based on those articulatory patterns. The method may estimate, for example, the amount of time the person has been without sleep. The method may produce the physiological state estimate without performing speech recognition on the spoken audio signal. The method may produce the physiological state estimate in real-time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: Speech Technology & Applied Research CorporationInventor: Joel MacAuslan

Publication number: 20140034116Abstract: In some embodiments, energy is released by converting the bonding potential energy between two electropositive masses capable of forming a stable bond between them into the kinetic energy of an electron quasiparticle initially captured between them by the coulomb potential. The electron quasiparticles form transient bonds with delocalized ions and other reactants in or on a reaction particle where reaction rates and branches are controlled by the choice of electron quasiparticle effective mass. Methods and apparatus for stimulating and controlling such association reactions are shown and described. Thermionic and semiconductor methods and apparatus convert the electron quasiparticle energy directly into electricity. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: Tionesta Applied Research CorporationInventors: Anthony Zuppero, Thomas J.

Patent number: 7711529Abstract: A technique for determining the number of constraints on, or topological dimension of, a set of input data produced by a nonlinear system, such as a pathological vocal or econometric system. The technique characterizes the tangent space about a predetermined base point by identifying a maximal set of non-redundant nonlinear fits to the data. It needs only a few data points and only assumes that the functional form of the true constraints is smooth. Each fit is equivalent to a set of contours, with the data lying along the zero-value contour. For each fit, the gradient at the base point in the uphill direction identifies the constraint direction. The number of linearly independent constraint directions provides the number of constraints near the base point. The remaining unconstrained directions define the tangent space, which has a dimensionality equal to the number of linearly independent unconstrained directions.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Speech Technology and Applied Research CorporationInventor: Joel M.

Patent number: 7124065Abstract: A technique for determining the number of constraints on a set of input data, or equivalently the topological dimension, especially when such data are produced by a nonlinear system, such as a pathological vocal system or econometric data and the like. The technique characterizes the tangent space about a predetermined base point by identifying a maximal set of non-redundant nonlinear fits to the data. It needs only a modest number of data points and does not assume prior knowledge of the functional form of the true constraints, other than smoothness. Each fit is equivalent to a set of contours (including curves, surfaces, and other manifolds), with the data themselves all lying along the zero-value contour of the fit. For each fit, the gradient of the fit at the base point in the uphill direction across the contours identifies the constraint direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2003Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Speech Technology and Applied Research CorporationInventor: Joel M.

Patent number: 6975984Abstract: A technique for separating an acoustic signal into a voiced (V) component corresponding to an electrolaryngeal source and an unvoiced (U) component corresponding to a turbulence source. The technique can be used to improve the quality of electrolaryngeal speech, and may be adapted for use in a special purpose telephone. A method according to the invention extracts a segment of consecutive values from the original stream of numerical values, and performs a discrete Fourier transform on the this first group of values. Next, a second group of values is extracted from components of the discrete Fourier transform result which correspond to an electrolaryngeal fixed repetition rate, F0, and harmonics thereof. An inverse-Fourier transform is applied to the second group of values, to produce a representation of a segment of the V component. Multiple V component segments are then concatenated to form a V component sample stream.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2001Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Speech Technology and Applied Research CorporationInventors: Joel M.
