Publication number: 20240071342Abstract: The technology can use a music generation platform to ingest raw audio to generate multi-level music (i.e., multiple streams corresponding to different instruments) based on user steerings, such as genre, artist, style, etc. Implementations can apply an encoder to take the raw audio and generate a sequence of discrete representations. Implementations can then input the sequence of discrete representations to an embedding layer that converts the sequence of discrete representations to sequences of embeddings in the same dimensionality, which are summed together to form a single sequence. The sequence of summed embeddings can be provided to a neural network that produces sequences of predicted embeddings for multiple instruments, which are then used by a coder layer to generate instrument-specific code sequences.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: David KANT, Philip WOODS, Alexander DUPUIS, Prayrit Prashu JAIN, Siddharth SRINIVASAN, Rod Alexander DUENES

Patent number: 11269026Abstract: This disclosure relates to a magnetometer for measuring a magnetic field. The magnetometer comprises a solid state quantum system with at least two quantum spin states. A control signal generator sets the quantum system into a quantum state that accumulates a phase over time depending on the magnetic field. A detector measures a signal from the quantum system indicative of the accumulated phase at a measurement time after the setting of the quantum state. A processor determines a magnetic field measurement based on the signal measured by the detector. Importantly, the quantum system is mounted on a rotator that is configured to rotate the quantum system about a rotation axis that defines an angle with the direction of the magnetic field and at a rotation rate that modulates the magnetic field over the measurement time.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: The University of MelbourneInventors: Alexander Wood, Andrew Martin, Alastair Stacey, Lloyd Hollenberg

Publication number: 20170287196Abstract: Realistic sky simulations are created in a computer generated graphics environment by incorporating captured image data of real sky over a time period, and converting these images into a streams of textures over time which can be sampled as a function of space and time within a game engine. The captured image data include data captured from a light probe indicating intensity and direction of light and a presumed direction of the sun. To capture such image data, an image capture rig comprising multiple cameras and a light probe is used. The image data captured from such cameras over a time period are processed to generate data used by an animation engine to produce photorealistic images of the sky.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2016Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: Gavin Raeburn, James Alexander Wood, Scott Crawford Stephen, Kelvin Neil Janson

Patent number: 8949951Abstract: Embodiments of the present teachings relate to systems and methods for generating modular security delegates for applications. According to embodiments, in a multiple network environment, multiple machines (or clients) can be configured. Each machine can include a plurality of application instances and an authentication delegate. In addition, each network environment can include a communication interface to security services. The applications can include logic that indicates what security delegate to use for a given set of user authentication credentials. The logic can be configured to determine the appropriate authentication delegate using various methods. The authentication delegates can receive a set of user authentication credentials from application instances and determine whether the set of user authentication credentials are valid. Each authentication delegate corresponds to one and only one type of authentication mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Alexander Wood, John J.

Patent number: 8719766Abstract: A mechanism for identifying and adding files to a project manifest is discussed. A combination of techniques is used in order to identify the files that should be listed in a project manifest. The combined techniques include the programmatic examination of a storage location marked as associated with a project to identify project files. The identified files are automatically added to a project manifest. In one embodiment the identified files are subjected to filtering criteria before being added to the project manifest. In addition, embodiments of the present invention perform a static analysis of at least one file associated with the project to identify file dependencies. The identified files are also added to the project manifest. The integrated development environment (IDE) also provides a user interface enabling a user to manually add files to the project manifest.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2006Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: The Math Works, Inc.Inventors: Gavin William Walker, Malcolm Alexander Wood, Robert O.
