  • VLSI-based system for durable high-density information storage
    Patent number: 7211369
    Abstract: The invention relates to using VLSI techniques to store information on a substrate. One embodiment of a die with text deposited upon the die uses semiconductor processing techniques during fabrication. Included in the die are a substrate, a first paragraph and a second paragraph. The first and second paragraphs are in contact with the substrate. The second paragraph is aligned with the first paragraph in a column.
    Type: Grant

  • Spectral enhancement of acoustic signals to provide improved recognition of speech
    Patent number: 6732073
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing an auditory signal to make sounds, particularly speech sounds, more distinguishable. An input auditory signal is divided into a plurality of spectral channels. An output gain for each channel is derived based on the time varying history of the energy in the channel and, preferably, the time varying history of energy in neighboring channels. The magnitude of the output gain for each channel thus derived is preferably inversely related to the history of energy in the channel. The output gain derived for each channel is applied to the channel to form a plurality of modified spectral channel signals. The plurality of modified spectral channel signals are combined to form an enhanced output auditory signal. The present invention is particularly applicable to electronic hearing aid devices, speech recognition systems, and the like.
