Patent number: 8687823Abstract: An interface is provided between a transducer and audio processing circuitry. The interface has a switching device coupled to the transducer. The interface also has a first signal path that is selectively coupled to transducer via the switching device and includes a first output, the first signal path being configured to selectively receive input signals from the transducer, and form a first output signal at the first output by amplifying the input signals to provide a first gain. The first output is coupled to the audio processing circuitry. A second signal path is provided that is selectively coupled to the transducer via the switching device and includes a second output. The second gain is selected to be substantially larger than the first gain.

Patent number: 7937307Abstract: A system and method for performing Electronic Check Presentment (ECP) processing. The system and method employ digital imaging techniques to digitally image the physical checks as they arrive subsequent to posting of the ECP items. The images are electronically linked to the data records that represent the checks. During the proofing process, in which the data records for the ECP items are validated against the data records for the physical items, the records are updated such that the posting date and ISN number for the data records for the physical items reflect the posting date and ISN number of the ECP items. As the digital image of the check is electronically linked to the data records, the image is thus carries the posting date and ISN of the ECP item.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2009Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.Inventors: Tom Vicknair, Sam Beard, Richard Norman, Mark Riggleman, Max Roycroft, Dick Feagin, Cliff Day, Paul Fielding

Patent number: 5668836Abstract: A split frequency band signal digitizer (10) includes a first mixer (18) for translating a split-band signal (200) about a multiple of the sampling frequency. The split-band signal so translated is then communicated to an analog-to-digital converter (26). The digitized signal is then analyzed to recover an original portion of the split-band signal and a second portion of the signal aliased into a single Nyquist band.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1994Date of Patent: September 16, 1997Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Paul Fielding Smith, Danny Thomas Pinckley
