  • Patent number: 10979811
    Abstract: Circuitry can separate a multi-channel input signal into a center signal and a residual signal, apply time-varying center and residual gains to the center and residual signals, and combine the gain-adjusted center and residual signals to form a multi-channel audio signal. The center and residual gains are automatically determined in response to the center and residual signals so as to prevent each channel of the multi-channel audio signal from exceeding a target volume. During first times, the center and residual gains can vary synchronously so as to ensure that amplitude and phase relationships among channels in the multi-channel input signal are retained into the multi-channel audio signal. During second times, the center and residual gains can vary independently so as to reduce the energy of the residual signal compared to the center signal in the multi-channel audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20170086018
    Abstract: A method is provided on a server for controlling messages transmitted to an electronic device. Message preference data is retrieved from a first database. It is then determined if a message is authorised for transmission to the electronic device according to the message preference data, and if the message is determined to be authorised, the message is transmitted from the server to the electronic device. Corresponding devices, systems and computer readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8683710
    Abstract: A retractable tape measuring device comprising a single housing in which are two spools. A first spool is utilized for a flexible, retractable tape measure. A second spool is utilized for a retractable safety lanyard. The opening for the safety lanyard is on the narrow face of the device opposite the opening for the tape measure. The lanyard may be used to secure the device to clothing, other tools and devices, or to fixed structures.

  • Publication number: 20060133380
    Abstract: A data error detection and mitigation system has been provided with a tiered approach. A set of received (104) data frames, which are ordered, are divided (106) into multiple groups, wherein at least one of the groups includes at least two nonconsecutive data frames. With these multiple groups, a data error check is inserted (108) for at least one of these groups. The data frames can relate to various types of information, such as audio, speech, video, images, files, or any data format with substantial similarity between successive frames.
