Abstract: A method is proposed for adapting a sound converter to a reference sound converter at a target setting of an analog circuit of the reference sound converter. The sound converter has a sound transfer function. The analog circuit is digitally modeled by an analog function. At a default setting of the analog circuit, parameters of the sound transfer function of the sound converter are adapted to the reference sound converter. An analog function inverse to the analog function with default analog parameters corresponding to the default setting and the analog function with target analog parameters corresponding to the target setting are applied before or after the sound transfer function. Furthermore, a sound converter adapted for carrying out the method is proposed.

Abstract: The method for adapting a sound converter to a reference sound converter includes the sound converter having a first linear transfer function with a first frequency response, a second linear transfer function with a second frequency response, and a trivial nonlinearity. The sound converter has a non-linear transfer function corresponding to the frequency response from combination of the first linear transfer function, the trivial nonlinearity, and the second linear transfer function. A first frequency spectrum of the reference sound converter is determined at a low input level. A second frequency spectrum of the reference sound converter is determined at a high input level. The second determined frequency spectrum is used as the second frequency response in the second linear transfer function, and the division of the first frequency spectrum by the second frequency spectrum is used as the first frequency response in the first linear transfer function.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes: a drawer or door defining a freezer compartment with a front exterior face and interior face and the drawer or door having a panel cavity between the front exterior face and interior face; a pizza pocket pivotally attached to the interior face and extending into the panel cavity, the pizza pocket is movable between a locked position where access into an interior space of the pizza pocket is denied and an open position where access to the interior space of the pizza pocket is allowed. Alternatively, the pizza pocket may be located within the panel cavity and accessed via a slot located in the upper surface of the drawer/door.

Abstract: The musical instrument has a acoustic transducer, which transforms an excitation signal generated by at least one resonator into an acoustic signal. The acoustic transducer is provided with an adjustable oscillation profile, in which at least one profile parameter is defined by a reference profile of a reference instrument.

Abstract: A sensor system utilizing flexible electronics for on-line real-time high-sensitivity sampling, monitoring, and analysis of a parameter or analyte of interest in a fluid or in or on a solid is provided. The flexible substrate sensor system comprises a plurality of sensors, a flexible substrate, a network, and a connection between the sensors and the network, wherein the network reads out or collects information from the sensors. The network can be onboard, connected by via a physical connection to the sensors and the flexible substrate, or external to the sensors and flexible substrate, connected via a telemetric or wireless connection to the sensors. The flexible substrate sensor system can be deployed in systems that conduct or distribute fluids or solids, such as distribution systems (municipal water systems, oil or gas pipeline systems), industrial systems (production facilities, piping, and storage systems), and large structures (dams, bridges, walkways, buildings).

Abstract: A method and system for content distribution and placement through external social communities is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes building a work of authorship through a collective coordination of authors of the work of authorship in a community environment, providing a portion of content of the work of authorship on an external social community through a feed from the community environment to the external social community, processing a response of a user of the external social community in contributing to the work of authorship, and integrating the response of the user of the external social community in the work of authorship. The method may include providing the feed as of a Real Simple Syndication feed, as an embeddable widget, and/or an activity announcement based on an update of the work of authorship in the community environment.
