  • Patent number: 8559655
    Abstract: An automated audio tuning system may optimize an audio system for power efficiency when performing automated tuning of the audio system to optimize acoustic performance. The system may establish any number of different power efficiency weighting factors to provide a balance between acoustic performance and power efficiency during operation. The power efficiency weighting factors may range from representing optimizing power efficiency with constrained optimization of acoustic performance to optimized acoustic performance with minimized regard for power efficiency. For each of the efficiency weighting factors, the system may generate operational parameters, such as filter parameters, to achieve a target acoustic response while maintaining a determined level of power efficiency.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7454273
    Abstract: A vehicle electronic module receives vehicle bus messages from a vehicle communication bus interface. The vehicle bus messages may include vehicle status data. The electronic module may determine whether a memory safety condition has been met based on the vehicle status data. The electronic module may delay reading or writing data, such as diagnostic data, into a non-volatile memory until the memory safety condition is reached. The data is read from or stored in the non-volatile memory with reduce risk of corrupted data.
