  • Patent number: 12143081
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for increasing a perceived loudness of an audio data signal comprising the steps of obtaining a first digital audio data signal; determining at least one temporal amplitude peak in the first digital audio data signal; generating a second digital audio data signal by reducing the at least one temporal amplitude peak in the first digital audio data signal based on a predicted perceptual difference model representing a predicted perceptual difference between the first digital audio data signal and a peak reduced version of the first digital audio data signal; and generating a third digital audio data signal by amplifying the second digital audio data signal so that a peak of the second digital audio data signal has a predetermined signal value, wherein a perceived loudness of the third digital audio data signal is larger than a perceived loudness of the first digital audio data signal.

  • Patent number: 12138560
    Abstract: The present invention relates in one aspect to a toy construction system for constructing and operating a remote controlled toy vehicle model. The system comprises: a plurality of modular toy elements; a modular toy vehicle base detachably connectable with the modular toy elements by means of coupling members so as to construct a toy vehicle model; and a remote control device adapted to control motorized functions in the modular toy vehicle base. The modular toy vehicle base further comprises an interaction sensor adapted to generate an interaction signal in response to a mechanical interaction with the toy vehicle model; wherein the toy construction system further comprises a processor with a signal analysis process. The signal analysis process is configured to perform an analysis of the interaction signal for indications of a building interaction according to predetermined criteria, and based on the analysis to generate an output indicative of a building interaction status.

  • Patent number: 9532153
    Abstract: A method and system for providing information to a user positioned in a room with two independent listening areas where, in one area, an audio signal is output compensating for the sound from the other area, and where a position between the two areas is indicated to a user. When the user moves about, the position and size of one listening area may change, and the user may be made aware of any conflict with the other listening area. The areas may be defined by boundaries where a compensation quality is at a threshold quality.

  • Publication number: 20070031449
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a Gram negative bacterium in which the expression of a protein involved in LPS transport to the outer membrane is functionally downregulated such that the level of LPS in the outer membrane is decreased compared to a wild-type Gram negative bacterium. Down regulation of Imp and MsbA proteins can result in such a bacterium. Outer membrane vesicle preparations derived from the Gram negative bacterium of the invention can be used in vaccines to provide protection against bacterial infection.
