  • Patent number: 9596553
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an apparatus for performing an audio measurement is provided. The apparatus includes a controller that is programmed to generate an audio test signal based on a first frequency range that comprises a first noise spectrum, a second frequency range that comprises a second noise spectrum, and a third frequency range that comprises a third noise spectrum and to transmit the audio test signal to an audio device that generates an audio response signal responsive to the audio test signal. The controller is further programmed to receive the audio response signal and to determine audio related characteristics for the audio device in response to the audio response signal.

  • Publication number: 20160117852
    Abstract: A piece of artwork defined using a vector image format can be customized by the consumer. The consumer can select patterns to be applied to the shapes of the artwork as well as manipulate the appearance of the patterns once applied to the shapes. The manipulations can include translation, rotation, scaling, and inversion of the patterns. The manipulations that a consumer makes can be recorded so that they can be reapplied to a version of the artwork having a desired size. Multiple shapes can be grouped to facilitate applying and manipulating a pattern consistently across the grouped shapes. Relative values for manipulations can be generated to facilitate applying the manipulations consistently across versions of the artwork that have different aspect ratios.
