    Patent number: 9386391
    Abstract: A device including a processor and a memory is disclosed. The memory includes programming instructions which when executed by the processor perform an operation. The operation includes detecting relative position of two earphones when connected to the device, determining if a binaural signal processing mode is appropriate based on the detected relative position and switching to the binaural signal processing mode. If it is determined that the binaural signal processing mode is not appropriate, switching to monaural processing mode.

  • Receiver with a signal path
    Publication number: 20050105645
    Abstract: The invention relates to a receiver (1,49,51,52,54) for receiving RF signals. The known receiver comprises a phase-locked loop which is controlled by the stereo pilot. Because of unwanted frequency changes, a sampling rate converter precedes the stereo decoder. Filtering operations within a complex range can be performed by means of the invention.
