Patents by Inventor Todd K. Moon

Todd K. Moon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10939205
    Abstract: For canceling acoustic echoing, a processor receives audio signals comprising a speaker output and an ambient input. The processor further calculates separated output signals from mixed signals using a separating transfer function. The processor calculates a criterion function based on the separated output signals. In addition, the processor calculates an acoustic echo transfer function based on maximizing the a criterion function. The processor separates a source signal from the audio signal using the acoustic echo transfer function.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9842300
    Abstract: For calculating statistical Markov model-like state transition probabilities, a method represents state transition probabilities between a plurality of statistical Markov model-like states and output probabilities associated with a plurality of previous statistical Markov model-like states. The state transition probabilities between the plurality of previous states depend on a sequence of previous states of the plurality of previous states. The output probabilities associated with each of the plurality of states depend on the sequence of previous states.
