  • Patent number: 12671950
    Abstract: A method for delay estimation of audio signals using an impulse response signal is provided. The method includes determining an energy envelope for the impulse response signal based on a moving average function of the impulse response signal. The method further includes determining an estimated delay of the impulse response signal based on at least one characteristic of the determined energy envelope. At least one audio signal phase is adjusted for at least one audio driver based on the estimated delay.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9742357
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure may include a method and apparatus for improving the efficiency and extending the operation time between recharges or replacement batteries of a portable audio delivery system. The audio delivery system may include a processor, an audio processing device, a speaker, and a rechargeable power source. The audio delivery system is generally configured to generate and/or receive an audio input signal and efficiently deliver an amplified, high quality audio output signal to a user. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the audio processing device of the audio delivery system may include a switch mode power supply (SMPS), a signal delay element, an envelope detector, and a switching signal amplifier.
