  • Speech characterization using a synthesized reference audio signal
    Patent number: 11545132
    Abstract: Techniques regarding speech characterization are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a speech analysis component that can determine a condition of an origin of an audio signal based on a difference between a first feature of the audio signal and a second feature of a synthesized reference audio signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and apparatus for securing a sensor to a monitored device
    Patent number: 10163325
    Abstract: A sensor housing system is used to monitor the lifetime of a motor or other device. A protected housing shields a microprocessor and several sensors. The device communicates to a user information about the health of the motor or other device using thermal, vibrational, or other measurements. The information is compared to a baseline which provides a warning threshold. Once the threshold is passed, the microprocessor can alert the user that the motor or other device is about to fail.
