  • Patent number: 11631390
    Abstract: The overall performance of an ANC system may be improved by configuring the ANC system to perform adaption in the frequency domain. The ANC systems may be configured to update an algorithm of an adaptive filter based, at least in part, on the first input signal, the second input signal, and a feedback signal that is based on an output of the adaptive filter. Updating may include changing parameters of the algorithm based on a SDR based, at least in part, on the first input signal. Updating may also include normalizing a step size and processing at least full band information for the input signal in a frequency domain to generate coefficient values for the algorithm. Updating may also include applying a frequency domain magnitude constraint on adaptive filter coefficients.

  • Publication number: 20220125827
    Abstract: The disclosure provides application of sulfated polysaccharides in resisting novel coronavirus, belonging to the technical field of biomedicine. It is confirmed in the disclosure that by binding to an S protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the sea cucumber polysaccharides, fucoidans or carrageenans can prevent cell membranes of body cells from adsorbing and internalizing the SARS-CoV-2 virus, thereby preventing the SARS-CoV-2 virus from infecting the body cells, which indicates that the sea cucumber polysaccharides, fucoidans or carrageenans have the effect of prevention and treatment of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus. These polysaccharides can be used to prepare protective articles having functions of prevention and treatment of novel coronavirus infection, for example: inhalations, hand lotions, oral liquids and respirators.

  • Patent number: 11217222
    Abstract: An adaptive filter converts time domain samples of an input signal into frequency domain signals, dynamically adjusts a stability conditional number based on the frequency domain signals, and uses the dynamically adjusted stability conditional number to control step size normalization during adaptation of frequency domain coefficients of the adaptive filter. The stability control number may be global to a range of frequency bins based on a peak magnitude of the input signal and/or may be frequency bin-specific stability control numbers based on corresponding frequency bin-specific error signal magnitudes. The adaptive filter also dynamically adjusts a noise floor based on the frequency domain input signals and refrains from updating frequency domain coefficients when a magnitude of the frequency domain input signal associated with a frequency bin is greater than the dynamically adjusted noise floor.

  • Patent number: 10984778
    Abstract: An adaptive filter includes a frequency domain adaptation block that analyzes a statistic of coefficient movement in the frequency domain. The adaption block adjusts, in the frequency domain, a parameter (step size or leakage factor) that affects speed of convergence of the adaptive filter based on the analyzed statistic of filter coefficient movement. The filter includes an associated coefficient, statistic of coefficient movement, and parameter for each frequency bin. The coefficients may be complex numbers, and separate real and imaginary statistics and parameters are maintained. The statistic may be direction counts of the filter coefficient movement. The step size may be adjusted to a predetermined minimum value when the current direction of movement of the filter coefficient is different than the predominant direction and otherwise the step size is adjusted approximately proportionally to an amount of predominance by a value based on a direction count of the filter coefficient movement.
