  • Adaptive power control
    Patent number: 9462552
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive power control are provided. A minimum power level of a primary acoustic signal is estimated. The minimum power level may then be compared to at least one power threshold. Subsequently, a large power consuming system is controlled based on the comparison of the minimum power level to the power threshold.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for adaptive power control
    Patent number: 8849231
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive power control are provided. In exemplary embodiments, a primary signal is received. A noise power level of the primary signal is then estimated. The noise power level may then be compared to at least one power threshold. Subsequently, a large power consuming system is controlled based on the comparison of the noise power level to the power threshold.
