Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed configured to perform automated volume leveling on speech content in an audio file containing speech and non-speech segments. A low pass filter and a high pass filter may be applied to the audio data, and normalization may be performed. Speech and non-speech segments may be detected. Gain adjustments may be made to achieve a substantially constant short term loudness. Processing may be applied to enhance speech parameters, such as attack and release. An upward expander may be used to achieve a target loudness level. A limited and/or dynamic range compressor may be utilized to satisfy true peak and/or short term loudness specifications. A file of processed audio data may be generated and transmitted to one or more destinations for broadcast and/or streaming.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying failed customer experience in distributed computer systems. An example method comprises: receiving, by an application performance management (APM) server associated with a distributed computer system, an application layer message associated with a request originated by a client computer system responsive to an action by a user; identifying a failed customer experience error by analyzing the application layer message; and causing a first graph to be rendered by a graphical user interface in a visual association with a second graph representing a number of user login events grouped by a pre-defined period of time, wherein the first graph represents a number of identified failed customer experience errors grouped by the pre-defined period of time.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a system for controlling an exhaust gas communicated from an engine system to a turbine component of a turbocharger system. The system can include an engine having an operational speed; a turbocharger system including a turbine component, the exhaust gas being output from the engine in an exhaust line; a controller in communication with the engine; and a sensor disposed in the exhaust line being in communication with the controller, the system operating according to the following method: measuring the first temperature of the exhaust gas, determining if the measured first temperature of the exhaust gas is within a temperature safety window of the system; calculating an engine speed of the engine; and adjusting an engine speed setpoint and speed of the engine based on the measured first temperature and the calculated engine speed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to process audio signals to identify content-types. Audio content is received at an audio decoder which decodes the audio content. The decoded audio content is segmented into frames by applying a windowing function to a given audio frame using a window having a time width related to a delay time of the decoder. A power spectrum estimate of a given frame is determined. A mel filter bank is applied to the power spectrum of the frame. A DCT matrix is applied to filter bank energies to generate a DCT output. A log of the DCT output is used to generate a mel coefficient 1. A threshold for the content is dynamically determined. The mel coefficient 1 and the dynamically determined threshold are used to detect a near silence between content-types and to identify the content-types.
