  • Transforming voice signals to compensate for effects from a facial covering
    Patent number: 12361960
    Abstract: In one example embodiment, audio characteristics of audio signals are adjusted by a first machine learning model to reduce effects of a facial covering and produce adjusted audio signals. The audio signals correspond to resulting voice signals produced from the facial covering affecting original voice signals. Speech characteristics are predicted for the adjusted audio signals by a second machine learning model. Transformed audio signals corresponding to the original voice signals are produced based on the adjusted audio signals and predicted speech characteristics.
    Type: Grant

  • Intelligent lamm schematics
    Patent number: 7705849
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and computer usable program code for interacting with a system schematic. A system schematic having a plurality of components is graphically displayed. In response to receiving a selection of a control component, a state of the control component is altered. A set of effector components from the plurality of components are animated using a cause-and-effect relationship between the control component and the set of effector components are animated.
