Patent number: 10199024Abstract: Methods and apparatuses according the present embodiments derive the sound of a Hammond tonewheel organ from the equal-tempered tuning of its tonewheels and drawbar registration design, as well as its vibrato/chorus processing and pickup distortion. In embodiments, as a reverberation effect, the modal processor simulates a room response as the sum of resonant filter responses, providing precise, independent and interactive control over the frequency, damping, and complex amplitude of each mode. As an effects processor, the modal processor provides pitch shifting and distortion by simple manipulations of the mode output sinusoids.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Inventors: Jonathan S. Abel, Kurt James Werner

Patent number: 9575006Abstract: A method, computing system and computer program product are provided to facilitate the inspection of an air separation module and to determine the degradation of an air separation module tubesheet. In the context of a method, an air separation module tubesheet is subjected to infrared spectroscopy by exposing the air separation module tubesheet to a spectrum of infrared radiation and collecting a spectrum of return signals. The method also includes providing a regression model based upon a multivariate regression of a representation of the infrared spectra collected from a plurality of air separation module tubesheet samples having different predefined conditions. The method further includes determining a condition of the air separation module tubesheet based upon a representation of the spectrum collected from the air separation module tubesheet and the regression model.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2013Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Paul H.

Patent number: 9499866Abstract: Described herein are nucleic acid based probes and methods for discriminating and detecting single nucleotide variants in nucleic acid molecules (e.g., DNA). The methods include use of a pair of probes can be used to detect and identify polymorphisms, for example single nucleotide polymorphism in DNA. The pair of probes emit a different fluorescent wavelength of light depending on the association and alignment of the probes when hybridized to a target nucleic acid molecule. Each pair of probes is capable of discriminating at least two different nucleic acid molecules that differ by at least a single nucleotide difference. The methods can probes can be used, for example, for detection of DNA polymorphisms that are indicative of a particular disease or condition.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Los Alamos National Security, LLCInventors: Hsin-Chih Yeh, James Werner, Jennifer S.
