Patent number: 11997474Abstract: A spatial audio processing system operable to enable audio signals to be spatially extracted from, or transmitted to, discrete locations within an acoustic space. Embodiments of the present disclosure enable an array of transducers being installed in an acoustic space to combine their signals via inverting physical and environmental models that are measured, learned, tracked, calculated, or estimated. The models may be combined with a whitening filter to establish a cooperative or non-cooperative information-bearing channel between the array and one or more discrete, targeted physical locations in the acoustic space by applying the inverted models with whitening filter to the received or transmitted acoustical signals. The spatial audio processing system may utilize a model of the combination of direct and indirect reflections in the acoustic space to receive or transmit acoustic information, regardless of ambient noise levels, reverberation, and positioning of physical interferers.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Wave Sciences, LLCInventors: James Keith McElveen, Gregory S.

Publication number: 20230058578Abstract: The present techniques relate to various aspects of forming and filling high-aspect ratio trench structures (e.g., trench structures having an aspect ratio of 20 or greater, including aspect ratios in the range of 20:1 up to and including 50:1 or greater) combined with trench opening widths ranging from 0.5 micron to 50 microns. In one implementation a method to fabricate high-aspect ratio trenches in silicon is provided using a patterned photoresist on evaporated aluminum. In accordance with this approach, a high-aspect ratio trench can be formed having vertical side walls and defect-free trench bottoms. In some instances it may be desirable to fill such high-aspect ratio trench structures with a metal or other substrate to provide certain functionality associated with the fill material. Further processes and structures are related in which such trench structures are filled using a mixture of high-Z nano-particles within an epoxy resin matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2021Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Shubhodeep Goswami, David Milford Shaddock, Matthew David Butts, Gregory Keith Dudoff
