Abstract: The invention discloses rendering sound field signals, such as Higher-Order Ambisonics (HOA), for arbitrary loudspeaker setups, where the rendering results in highly improved localization properties and is energy preserving. This is obtained by rendering an audio sound field representation for arbitrary spatial loudspeaker setups and/or by a decoder that decodes based on a decode matrix (D). The decode matrix (D) is based on smoothing and scaling of a first decode matrix {circumflex over (D)} with smoothing coefficients. The first decode matrix {circumflex over (D)} is based on a mix matrix G and a mode matrix {tilde over (?)}, where the mix matrix G was determined based on L speakers and positions of a spherical modelling grid related to a HOA order N, and the mode matrix {tilde over (?)} was determined based on the spherical modelling grid and the HOA order N.

Abstract: Improved methods and/or apparatus for decoding an encoded audio signal in soundfield format for L loudspeakers. The method and/or apparatus can render an Ambisonics format audio signal to 2D loudspeaker setup(s) based on a rendering matrix. The rendering matrix has elements based on loudspeaker positions and wherein the rendering matrix is determined based on weighting at least an element of a first matrix with a weighting factor ? = 1 L . The first matrix is determined based on positions of the L loudspeakers and at least a virtual position of at least a virtual loudspeaker that is added to the positions of the L loudspeakers.

Abstract: A planetary gearbox includes a shaft, a planetary carrier, first and second planetary pins arranged on the planetary carrier, first and second planetary gears mounted on the planetary pins via respective bearings, and a lubricant collecting tray. The shaft has a shaft channel for radially conducting a lubricant to an outer face of the shaft and the planetary pins have respective pin channels for conducting the lubricant to the respective bearings. The lubricant-collecting tray has a collection space for collecting the lubricant supplied via the shaft channel and hollow feed ports that open into respective pin channels. The hollow feed port closest to the shaft channel, when viewed in a circumferential direction, has an opening cross-section that is less than an opening cross-section of the other hollow feed port.
