  • Patent number: 10009703
    Abstract: A mixing signal processing technique modifies digital audio recordings to simulate the linear and nonlinear effects of propagation and mixing of sounds in air. When multiple sounds or complex sounds comprised of multiple frequencies in the audible spectrum propagate in such a nonlinear medium, they transfer energy into sound at new frequencies given by the sums and differences of the original signal frequencies. The mixing signal processing technique may improve the ability of a system to reproduce the effects of a live performance using a digital audio recording.

  • Patent number: 9503832
    Abstract: A motion signal processing technique modifies digital audio recordings in order to restore a sense of motion, liveliness, and spatial dynamics. The technique compensates for the static presentation of sound created by modern recording and sound synthesis techniques and common modern playback equipment such as headphones and ear buds in order to create a more natural, immersive, and enjoyable listening experience.

  • Patent number: 9432792
    Abstract: A priming signal processing technique modifies digital audio recordings to reduce the stress experienced by a listener's auditory system. A priming signal may reduce the instantaneous stress experienced by the auditory system during sudden changes in signal energy. The priming signal may leverage the temporal auditory masking, such that pre-signal priming additions may not result in obvious differences in perceived sounds.

  • Patent number: 8230117
    Abstract: A technique for maintaining input/output (I/O) command ordering on a bus includes assigning a channel identifier to I/O commands of an I/O stream. In this case, the channel identifier indicates the I/O commands belong to the I/O stream. A command location indicator is assigned to each of the I/O commands. The command location indicator provides an indication of which one of the I/O commands is a start command in the I/O stream and which of the I/O commands are continue commands in the I/O stream. The I/O commands are issued in a desired completion order. When a first one of the I/O commands does not complete successfully, the I/O commands in the I/O stream are reissued on the bus starting at the first one of the I/O commands that did not complete successfully.

  • Patent number: 7243194
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling write requests in a data processing system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving on an interconnect bus a first write request targeted to a first address and receiving on the interconnect bus a subsequent second write request targeted to a subsequent second address. The subsequent second write request is completed prior to completing the first write request, and, responsive to receiving a read request targeting the second address before the first write request has completed, data associated with the second address of the second write request is supplied only after the first write request completes.
