  • Patent number: 11164592
    Abstract: A system that performs automatic gain control (AGC) using different decay rates. The system may select a slow decay rate to track a loudness level within speech (e.g., within an utterance), improving audio quality and maintaining dynamic range for an individual voice, while selecting a fast decay rate to track the loudness level after a gap of silence (e.g., no voice activity detected for a duration of time) or during large level changes (e.g., actual speech loudness is lower than estimated speech loudness for a duration of time). This improves an accuracy of the loudness estimate and therefore a responsiveness of the automatic gain control, resulting in an improved user experience.

  • Patent number: 10444254
    Abstract: A system and method for receiving a plurality of first inputs from a transducer, where the plurality of first inputs correspond to vibrations of a rotational machine, and filtering the plurality of first inputs to derive a frequency of interest. The system and method then generates a sinusoidal signal at the frequency of interest and a pulse train of one or multiple pulses per revolution at the frequency of interest from the sinusoidal signal. The system and method further identifies a first pulse at a zero crossing within the pulse train and counts zero crossings to define blocks of data for use in time synchronous averaging calculations.
