Patent number: 11882421Abstract: An integrated cinema amplifier comprises a power supply stage that distributes power over a plurality of channels for rendering immersive audio content in a surround sound listening environment. The amplifier automatically detects maximum and net power availability and requirements based on audio content by decoding audio metadata and dynamically adjusts gains to each channel or sets of channels based on content and operational/environmental conditions. A power supply stage provides power to drive a plurality of channels corresponding to speaker feeds to a plurality of speakers. The amplifier has a front panel having an LED array with each LED associated with a respective channel or group of channels of the multi-channel amplifier, and a control unit configured to light the LEDs according to display patterns based on operating status or error conditions of the amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Andrew Healy, Edward John Neary, Erich Hubert Vogel, Andrew Michael Poulain, Gregory J. Long, Joel A. Butler, Angela Williams, Luca Revelli, Dossym Nurmukhanov, Tanner James Cook, Marcelo Traverso M., Kenneth Schindler

Patent number: 9824330Abstract: 3D glasses having an RFID tag (embedded in one or more temples) are rented to theater or other venue operators. The glasses are shipped to a venue for distribution to patrons and collected from patrons in the trays. Inventory and other measures are implemented by RFID scanning while the glasses are in the trays (e.g., upon delivery to a theater, on collection from the theater, upon inspection at the 3D rental company, etc). Data gathered from RFID scanning and inspections allows the rental company to properly allocate rental costs to various venues based on shrinkage which includes, for example, extraordinary wear of the glasses, breakage or theft, which is attributable and traceable to the specific venues. The theater or venue may also independently scan the trays upon delivery and pick-up to maintain their own records. The invention includes 3D glasses with RFID, a washing rack, and rental systems.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing CorporationInventors: Andrew Healy, Thao D.
