  • Patent number: 10475466
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a system, apparatus, and method for achieving an adaptive vehicle state-based hands free noise reduction feature. A noise reduction tool is provided for adaptively applying a noise reduction strategy on a sound input that uses feedback speech quality measures and machine learning to develop future noise reduction strategies, where the noise reduction strategies include analyzing vehicle operational state information and external information that are predicted to contribute to cabin noise and selecting noise reducing pre-filter options based on the analysis.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 12, 2019
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Francois Charette, Anthony Dwayne Cooprider, Paul J Joseph Nicastri, Yuksel Gur, Scott Andrew Amman, Gintaras Vincent Puskorius

The machine learning may further be supplemented by off-line training to generate a speech quality performance measure for the sound input that may be referenced by the noise reduction tool for further noise reduction strategies.

  • Patent number: 8476096
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for producing micro electro-mechanical device packages. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, includes a micro electro-mechanical device formed on a substrate layer; and a thermally decomposable sacrificial structure protecting at least a portion of the micro electro-mechanical device, where the sacrificial structure is formed on the substrate layer and surrounds a gas cavity enclosing an active surface of the micro electro-mechanical device. Other systems and methods are also provided.
