Publication number: 20070164169Abstract: The present invention provides a model train operating, sound and control system that provides a user with increased operating realism. Disclosed is a novel remote control communication capability between the user and the model trains. This feature is accomplished by using a handheld remote control on which various commands may be entered, and a Track Interface Unit that retrieves and processes the commands. The Track Interface Unit converts the commands to modulated signals (preferably spread spectrum signals) which are sent down the track rails. The model train picks up the modulated signals, retrieves the entered command, and executes it through use of a processor and associated control and driver circuitry. Another novel feature disclosed is a speed control circuit located inside the model train that is capable of continuously monitoring the operating speed of the train and making adjustments to a motor drive circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2007Publication date: July 19, 2007Applicant: Mike's Train House, Inc.Inventors: Michael Wolf, David Krebiehl, Forrest Seitz, Stanley Sasaki, Scott Long

A novel remote control communication capability between the user and the model trains. This feature is accomplished by using a handheld remote control on which various commands may be entered, and a Track Interface Unit that retrieves and processes the commands. The Track Interface Unit converts the commands to modulated signals in the form of data bit sequences (preferably spread spectrum signals) which are sent down the track rails. The model train picks up the modulated signals, retrieves the entered command, and executes it through use of a processor and associated control and driver circuitry. A speed control circuit located inside the model train that is capable of continuously monitoring the operating speed of the train and making adjustments to a motor drive circuit, as well as a novel smoke unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Applicant: MIKE'S TRAIN HOUSE, INC.Inventors: Michael Wolf, David Krebiehl, Forrest Seitz, Stanley Sasaki, Scott Long

Publication number: 20030174847Abstract: An echo suppressor uses a multi-state operating sequence to provide non-disruptive monitoring of a remotely broadcast program during a performer's live performance at a local site. The operating sequence is actuated by a voice activated switch that initiates signal processing for correlating a locally originating audio (e.g., the performer's voice) to its echo in the broadcast program. During correlation states in the operating sequence, the echo suppressor switches monitoring to a local microphone signal to allow the performer to hear his or her own voice while preventing echo from being heard before correlation is achieved and echo suppression can begin. The correlation states include an initial correlation at a reduced sampling rate to detect echo within a wide delay time window and determine the locally originating audio is on-the-air.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2003Publication date: September 18, 2003Applicant: Circuit Research Labs, Inc.Inventors: Eric B.

Patent number: 6404891Abstract: A receiver in an audio distribution system provides graceful degradation of audio quality as transmission quality decreases by dynamically adjusting the volume of audio output as a function of transmission quality. The receiver estimates the rate of transmission errors in a transmission link on which the audio signal is distributed by detecting errors in known information embedded in the audio signal. As the rate of transmission errors increases, the receiver increasingly attenuates the volume of the audio output. The receiver dynamically adjusts the volume relative to the rate of transmission errors applying a smoothing function to avoid disruptive rapid fluctuations in audio output volume.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1997Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Cardio TheaterInventors: Forrest Seitz, Stan Sasaki
