Patents by Inventor Benjamin George Webster

Benjamin George Webster has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Audio connection and transmission device
    Patent number: 11544032
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of interfacing between a source media device and a destination media device. A wireless module passes through an audio signal from the source device to an output device, and transmits a wireless signal to a wireless device that outputs the audio signal. In this manner, the number of devices used for the connections may be reduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2023
    Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation
    Inventors: David Matthew Fischer, Benjamin George Webster, Adam Scott Koniak, Kevin Cheng Lai

  • WAVE FIELD SYNTHESIS BY SYNTHESIZING SPATIAL TRANSFER FUNCTION OVER LISTENING REGION
    Publication number: 20170347216
    Abstract: Broadly speaking, the technology relates to using wave field synthesis theory to simulate one or more idealized virtual point sources in a multi-speaker system. The speaker transfer function of each speaker is modeled, and the values and directional gradient of the combined speaker transfer function at test points in a convexly-bounded listening region are compared to the desired values and directional gradient for the idealized transfer function of the idealized virtual point source(s) at the test points to determine filter coefficient sets for each filter. The determined filter coefficients are those which minimize the total difference between the values and directional gradient of the combined speaker transfer function and the values and directional gradient of the idealized transfer function of the idealized virtual point source across all the test points for a plurality of frequency bins.
