Publication number: 20230197100Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer-readable medium are provided for processing wind noise. Audio input is processed by receiving an audio input. A wind noise level representative of a wind noise at the microphone array is measured using the audio input and a determination is made, based on the wind noise level, whether to perform either (i) a wind noise suppression process on the audio input on-device, or (ii) the wind noise suppression process on the audio input on-device and an audio reconstruction process in-cloud.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Spotify ABInventors: Daniel Bromand, Mauricio Greene

Publication number: 20230047408Abstract: Acoustic microphone array systems including arrays of microphones placed on a printed circuit board or other substrate in asymmetric patterns. A plurality of additional non-microphone components also reside on the board. The asymmetric placement of the microphones in the array provides flexibility in physically accommodating the additional non-microphone components.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Christopher Charles Nighman, Gerrit Eimbertus Rosenboom, Mauricio Greene, Alfredo Martin Aguilar

Publication number: 20160095054Abstract: Power consumption in a portable computing device's receive-transmit subsystem is reduced when this subsystem receives streaming media data. The portable computing device receives a first portion of the media data via a first communication channel and a second portion of the media data via a second channel. The portable computing device may obtain the first portion well in advance of receiving the second portion and may use a wireless connection to receive the second portion. The portable computing device may terminate the wireless connection once the second portion has been received, thus reducing overall power consumption in wireless device. A client application on the portable computing device reassembles the media file from the first and second portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2015Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Timothy R. Bratton, Sylvain Rebaud, J. P. Lester, Mauricio Greene

Patent number: 8149227Abstract: Systems for removing or attenuating friction and/or click noise generated during writing with a smart pen are disclosed. In a smart pen, the writing cartridge is biased towards a first side of the smart pen internal cavity by a low-force biasing system without affecting writing cartridge movement. For example, the writing cartridge is comprised of a magnetic material and a magnet is embedded into the first side of the smart pen internal cavity to bias the writing cartridge towards the first side. Alternatively, the material comprising the writing cartridge or smart pen internal cavity is modified, reducing friction between the components. As another alternative, a DSP method identifies analyzes one or more parameters of received audio data to differentiate click noise from audio data, and may receive data from a movement sensor indicating when the writing cartridge has moved to reduce power consumption for identifying click noise.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Livescribe, Inc.Inventors: Jim Marggraff, Marc Thomas, John Hartman, John Carter, Mauricio Greene, Mike Lehr, Allan Hessenflow, Igor Feldman, Dan Keller, Stuart Neubarth

Publication number: 20020009000Abstract: Primarily in order to discourage compression of data of signals intended for interfacing with humans, such as those containing audio content, particularly music, and thus to discourage the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of such content, such as over the Internet, the signal data is modified in a manner that is normally not perceptible to humans when the signal is reproduced but which causes the signal to be significantly degraded in a manner that is perceptible if the signal is later compressed and decompressed. In one embodiment, an audio signal is modified directly in a manner that causes significant degradation of the signal if it is compressed and subsequently decompressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2001Publication date: January 24, 2002Applicant: QDesign USA, Inc.Inventors: Paul R.
