  • Apparatus and method for encoding an audio signal using an output interface for outputting a parameter calculated from a compensation value
    Patent number: 11935549
    Abstract: An apparatus for encoding an audio signal includes: a core encoder for core encoding first audio data in a first spectral band; a parametric coder for parametrically coding second audio data in a second spectral band being different from the first spectral band, wherein the parametric coder includes: an analyzer for analyzing first audio data in the first spectral band to obtain a first analysis result and for analyzing second audio data in the second spectral band to obtain a second analysis result; a compensator for calculating a compensation value using the first analysis result and the second analysis result; and a parameter calculated for calculating a parameter from the second audio data in the second spectral band using the compensation value.

  • Secure portable electronic reference device
    Patent number: 7747872
    Abstract: An electronic reference device is disclosed that can be connected to an external computer. The electronic reference device functions as a dictionary for the reader to look up words as they read. It can also have various other functions that would be suitable for a portable electronic device. When connected to the computer, the system has sufficient security features to allow the user to copy databases between the devices and to still protect the digital rights of the databases in memory. The security features uses encryption techniques to tie the database to the location in memory to regulate the access and readability of the databases.
