  • Patent number: 10957300
    Abstract: A system for reducing far-field noise produced by well operations includes a passive sound barrier shielding an area, in which the well operations are performed, in an open-air environment. The system further includes a sound sensor to receive near-field noise from the well operations. The system further includes an analysis module, coupled to the sound sensor, to generate an anti-noise signal. The system further includes active anti-noise generators, coupled to the analysis module, to generate anti-noise, based on the anti-noise signal, that destructively interferes with noise from the well operations outside of the passive sound barrier at a predetermined distance from the passive sound barrier. The analysis module generates the anti-noise signal based on the near-field noise, the predetermined distance, and adjustable positions and orientations of the active anti-noise generators.

  • Patent number: 10728394
    Abstract: A cloud-based video/audio conferencing system and method performs locale based aggregation of a full duplex media stream to organize multiple connections to a conference call that originate from the same physical location or a shared locale. The cloud-based video/audio conferencing system performs synchronization of the microphone and speaker audio signals of the same-locale connections. In this manner, a conference call may be held with multiple user devices making connections from the same physical location. User experience is enhanced by allowing each user in the same location to use his/her own individual devices to connect to the same conference call.

  • Patent number: 9660887
    Abstract: A latency compensating adaptive jitter buffer method is implemented. In response to a queuing delay event being detected, the size of the jitter buffer is temporarily increased to receive all incoming audio packets up to a certain refill level. The method then produces audio playback using accelerated playback to reduce the jitter buffer size back to the nominal size.

  • Patent number: 9521057
    Abstract: A latency compensating adaptive jitter buffer method is implemented in an audio client running on a user device or in an audio server to adaptively adjust the size of a jitter buffer to optimize latency while minimizing packet loss during audio signal transmission. In some embodiments, the jitter buffer is kept to a nominal size for low latency. In response to a queuing delay event being detected, audio production is temporarily stopped and the size of the jitter buffer is temporarily increased to receive all incoming audio packets up to a certain refill level. The method then resumes audio production using accelerated playback to reduce the jitter buffer size back to the nominal size.

  • Patent number: 7593064
    Abstract: A system determines available system resources along with the complexity of video clips in order to initiate and adapt automatic video clip playback. A method automatically concurrently plays multiple video clips in at least one composite video image by automatically determining available processing resources based on a number of available processors and associated corresponding individual processor operational speed. The method involves automatically determining a number of video clips that may be concurrently played and displayed in a composite video image by the determined available processing resources based on a number of the multiple video clips and associated corresponding individual video clip compression type. The method also includes initiating concurrent play and display of the determined number of video clips in the composite video image.
