  • Patent number: 11972087
    Abstract: A method may include generating a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a canvas visually displaying a virtual audio environment representing an arrangement of speakers in a real-world audio environment. The virtual audio environment may include an audio object that represents sounds that are grouped together to provide a particular sound effect. The method may include obtaining, via the GUI, a selection of a particular audio object displayed in the virtual audio environment and user input relating to the audio properties associated with the selected audio object. The method may include performing an audio computation based on the user input and updating the selected audio object represented in the canvas. The method may include displaying, via the GUI, the updated audio object in the canvas.

  • Patent number: 11902771
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, operations may include obtaining a virtual space that includes a virtual speaker distribution of virtual speakers within the virtual space. The operations may further include obtaining an audio file that includes audio corresponding to an audio object of an audio scene and generating one or more audio signals based on the virtual speaker distribution and the audio file. In these or other embodiments, the operations may include mapping each respective virtual speaker to a respective point source in an audio localization environment that corresponds to the virtual space. In addition, the operations may include providing the one or more audio signals to an audio localization system according to the mapping of the virtual speakers to their respective point sources.

  • Patent number: 10368536
    Abstract: A compact insect trap providing a liquid attractant to lure insects and a fan to draw insects into a container. The container is detachable for ease of cleaning and filling with the attractant. Insects converge near the fumes at a narrow annular passage on the perimeter of the device. An internal fan is activated by a timing circuit and provides intermittent bursts of air directed inside and towards the container. Airflow continues upwards through a screen, the fan, and expelled past a unidirectional valve near the top of the device. Nearby insects are suctioned into the container and are retained within due to the screen, thus preventing contamination of moving parts. As airflow is paused, insects are released from the screen where they fall or fly into the attractant. Other embodiments are described and shown.
