Abstract: System and apparatus embodiments are provided for high capacity wireless communication. In an embodiment, a system for high capacity wireless communication includes a plurality of small radio unit modules (SRUMs) and a single central module (CM) configured to connect to the SRUMS over a high speed transport layer (TL), wherein the SRUMs each comprise a SRUM radio frequency (RF) element and an antenna, wherein the CM comprises a digital signal processor (DSP), an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, a plurality of digital-to-analog (D/A) converters, and a plurality of CM RF elements, wherein each of the plurality of SRUMs is uniquely associated with a CM RF element, and a D/A converter thereby forming a radio unit (RU) that is configured to operate independently of other RUs.

Abstract: A system for hearing assistance devices to assist hearing aid fitting applied to individual differences in hearing impairment. The system is also usable for assisting fitting and use of hearing assistance devices for listeners of music. The method uses a subjective space approach to reduce the dimensionality of the fitting problem and a non-linear regression technology to interpolate among hearing aid parameter settings. This listener-driven method provides not only a technique for preferred aid fitting, but also information on individual differences and the effects of gain compensation on different musical styles.

Abstract: An improved control structure for music synthesis is provided in which: 1) the sound representation provided to the adaptive function mapper allows for a greatly increased degree of control over the sound produced; and 2) training of the adaptive function mapper is performed using an error measure, or error norm, that greatly facilitates learning while ensuring perceptual identity of the produced sound with the training example. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, sound data is produced by applying to an adaptive function mapper control parameters including: at least one parameter selected from the set of time and timbre space coordinates; and at least one parameter selected from the set of pitch, .DELTA.pitch, articulation and dynamic. Using an adaptive function mapper, mapping is performed from the control parameters to synthesis parameters to be applied to a sound synthesizer.
