Nigel Osborne 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: 12300268
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for analysing sounds, such as audio tracks, and automatically classifying the sounds in a space in which arousal is one axis and valence is another axis. The location of a sound or track in that arousal-valence space is automatically determined using a computer implemented system that analyses, measures or infers values for each of the following base feature parameters: harmonicity, turbulence, rhythmicity, sharpness, volume and linear harmonic cost, or any combination of two or more of those parameters.

  • Patent number: 12237069
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for analysing audio (eg. music) tracks. A predictive model of the neuro-physiological functioning and response to sounds by one or more of the human lower cortical, limbic and subcortical regions in the brain is described. Sounds are analysed so that appropriate sounds can be selected and played to a listener in order to stimulate and/or manipulate neuro-physiological arousal in that listener. The method and system are particularly applicable to applications harnessing a biofeedback resource.

  • Patent number: 7714115
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for the synthesis of an 18F-labelled product comprising deprotected of a protected 18F-labelled compound using a deprotection agent comprising a weak acid and wherein neutralisation and buffering of the deprotected product are carried out by the addition of a neutralisation agent. The deprotected product is buffered in a pH range suitable for subsequent autoclaving and formulation into an injectable radiopharmaceutical.
