Patent number: 12185078Abstract: Systems and method are disclosed for facilitating efficient calibration of filters for correcting room and/or speaker-based distortion and/or binaural imbalances in audio reproduction, and/or for producing three-dimensional sound in stereo system environments. According to some embodiments, using a portable device such as a smartphone or tablet, a user can calibrate speakers by initiating playback of a test signal, detecting playback of the test signal with the portable device's microphone, and repeating this process for a number of speakers and/or device positions (e.g., next to each of the user's ears). A comparison can be made between the test signal and the detected signal, and this can be used to more precisely calibrate rendering of future signals by the speakers.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Inventors: David P. Maher, Gilles Boccon-Gibod, Steve Mitchell

Patent number: 12131411Abstract: The present invention seeks to reduce the burden of producing high-resolution tomograms by using an initial scan on a predetermined grid 10 to obtain a minimal set of images, and then regions of interest 20 are identified for further scanning. The further scanning locations 40 are determined by image entropy or gradient found in the previous iteration; such regions are indicative of edges, cracks or complex structure within the region. After each iteration, the level of information (e.g. image entropy or gradient) will decrease relative to the pixel/voxel size. In this way, a more efficient way to scan is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: ADAPTIX LTDInventors: Gil Travish, Steve Wells, Martin Holden, Ian Mitchell

Publication number: 20240298298Abstract: A method is described for allocating a frequency resource, from a set E of frequency resources, to at least one terminal positioned in a region of a cell belonging to a cellular network. The method includes, after the terminal sends a request for allocation of a frequency resource, identifying the cell and the region which are associated with said at least one terminal, verifying the availability of at least one frequency resource in a table comprising values respectively associated with the resources of the set E, and if at least one frequency resource is available, executing a reinforcement learning algorithm based on the value or values associated with said at least one available frequency resource, so as to select a resource for said at least one terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2022Publication date: September 5, 2024Inventors: Steve Chukwuebuka Arum, David Grace, Paul Mitchell, Laurent Reynaud
