Abstract: The various aspects of the disclosure here enable a content creation side to control how discrete audio objects that make up a sound program are rendered by a decoding side to achieve greater realism, while enabling the decoder side to also control the rendering process to consider the positions and orientations of the objects as virtual sound sources relative to the listener. The same sound program can thus be optimally rendered by a variety of decoder side formats, such as binaural on headphone, cross-talked cancelled binaural on a stereo pair of speakers embedded in a device, or multichannel on an immersive loudspeaker layout, e.g., planar such as 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound layouts, 3D such as 7.1.4 or 22.2, etc. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: The various aspects of the disclosure here enable a content creation side to control how a sound program is spatial audio rendered by a decoding side, so that an audio scene component in a metadata-specified three dimensional acoustic masking zone is not heard while another audio scene component in an un-masked zone of the sound program is heard by a listener of the playback. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: The various aspects of the disclosure here enable a content creation side to control how discrete audio objects that make up a sound program are rendered by a decoding side to achieve high spatial resolution, while giving the content creator the flexibility to decide how complex the spatial audio rendering should be in the decoding side. Metadata associated with the sound program will instruct a spatial audio renderer on how complex its listener motion compensation should be. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A method that includes displaying a user interface (UI) of a three-dimensional (3D) acoustic environment that includes a sound source; receiving a user selection, via an input device, of a location within the UI, the location towards which the sound source is to be oriented within the 3D acoustic environment; determining a set of parameters that define an orientation of the sound source towards the location within the 3D acoustic environment; determining that there is motion of the location or the sound source within the 3D acoustic environment; updating, without user intervention and based on the motion, the set of parameters to maintain the orientation of the sound source towards the location.

Abstract: An audio artifact reduction technique operates on a pair of temporally-adjacent audio tracks. Samples at an end portion of a first track may be altered according to an inter-track sample discontinuity at a boundary between the two tracks. Samples at a beginning portion of a second track also may be altered according to the inter-track discontinuity. These altering operations may cause the sample values and the end of the first track and the beginning of the second track to be equal to each other at the boundary between the two tracks. In one aspect, the altering may generate adjustment curves that alter sample values of the tracks around the boundary between them. In another aspect, the altering may trim the tracks at zero crossings of track sample values nearest to the boundary between the tracks.

Abstract: A device for observation, by reflection, of the structural details of an object (2) that exhibits a behaviour that is at least partially specular, located in an exposure area, which includes: at least one radiation source with an emission surface (6) possessing at least two distinct zones (26, 27) emitting streams of radiation, where at least one of the characteristics differs from one zone to the next; an optical projection system that is located in line with the radiation source in relation to the exposure zone, in the path of the radiation; an optical exposure system (18) designed to optically link the entry aperture (14) of the optical projection system and the emission surface (6); a projection surface (10) that is linked optically with the object in the exposure zone, and whose received radiation depends on the deflection on the object (2).

Abstract: This orthosis comprises a compressive leg portion extending upwards from the ankle. The structure of the row of stitches ensures a uniform distribution of the resilient return forces at the circumference of the orthosis around an outline corresponding to a horizontal section of the limb. The stitch structure and the dimensioning of the leg portion are selected in such a manner as to apply on a region (R) extending between the ankle and the knee, a therapeutic pressure once the orthosis has been put on the limb. The mean pressure Pc exerted on the center third (RC) of said compression region is greater both than the mean pressure Pb exerted on the distal third (RD) and than the mean pressure Pd exerted on the proximal third (RP) of said region, Pc, Pb, and Pd being the pressures exerted at the respective heights of points c, b, and d of the Hohenstein model.
