Masanori Morise has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8781819
    Abstract: The invention relates to a periodic signal processing method, a periodic signal conversion method, and a periodic signal processing device capable of reducing the influence of periodicity without using a spectral model. Time windows are arranged such that a center of each of the time windows is at a division position which divides a fundamental frequency in a temporal direction into fractions 1/n (where n is an integer equal to or larger than 2) so as to extract a plurality of portions of different ranges from a signal having periodicity. A power spectrum for the plurality of portions extracted by the respective time windows is calculated, and the calculated power spectrum is added with a same ratio.

  • Publication number: 20080025521
    Abstract: A method, device, system, program and recording medium for impulse response measurement which can improve a measurement accuracy without lowering the S/N ratio over the whole range, from lower frequencies to higher frequencies, of a measuring signal are provided. A signal generation unit (21) of a device for impulse response measurement (10-1) generates a W-TSP signal (x(t)) having characteristics of a TSP signal and a Log-TSP signal. A D/A conversion unit (22) converts the digital signal (x(t)) into an analog signal (x(t)) and outputs the converted signal to a headphone (2) or a speaker (5). An A/D conversion unit (23) inputs an analog signal (y(t)) received by a microphone (3) or a microphone (6) and converts the inputted signal into a digital signal (y(t)). An inverse signal generation unit (24) generates an inverse W-TSP signal (x(t)). A convolution unit (25) convolutes the signal (y(t)) and the inverse W-TSP signal (x?1(t)) thereby to calculate an impulse response (g(t)).
