Etienne Cornu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7953230
    Abstract: A method and system for processing of physiological signals is provided. The system processes information signals in subband-domain associated with the physiological signals in time-domain. The information signals are obtained by one or more over-sampled filterbanks. The method and system possibly synthesizes the subband signals obtained by subband processing. The method and system may implement the analysis, subband processing, and synthesis algorithms on over-sampled filterbanks, which are implemented on ultra low-power, small size, and low-cost platform in real-time. The method and system may use over-sampled, Weighted-Overlap Add (WOLA) filterbanks.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7139707
    Abstract: Method and system for real-time speech recognition is provided. The speech algorithm runs on a platform having an input-output processor and a plurality of processor units. The processor units operate substantially in parallel or sequentially to perform feature extraction and pattern matching. While the input-output processor creates a frame, the processor units execute the feature extraction and the pattern matching. Shared memory is provided for supporting the parallel operation.

  • Patent number: 7120584
    Abstract: A method and system for synthesizing audio speech is provided. A synthesis engine receives from a host, compressed and normalized speech units and prosodic information. The synthesis engine decompresses data and synthesizes audio signals. The synthesis engine can be implemented on a digital signal processing system which can meet requirements of low resources (i.e. low power consumption, lower memory usage), such as a DSP system including an input/output module, a WOLA filterbank and a DSP core that operate in parallel.
