  • Publication number: 20200357360
    Abstract: A display panel is calibrated to a target white point. A maximum luminance value of the display panel is attenuated from a first luminance value associated with the target white point to a second luminance value based on an attenuation factor. The second luminance value is equal to or lower than the first luminance value. The display panel is re-calibrated based on a chromaticity of the target white point and the second luminance value to generate calibration data. The calibration data is flashed into memory associated with the display panel. During operation, the white point of the panel may be shifted from the target to a chromatically imbalanced (e.g., reddish) white point that may cause motion-induced color trail or color breakup artifacts. The attenuated second luminance value ensures the motion-induced color trail or color breakup artifacts are adequately masked when the panel is driven with the chromatically imbalanced white point.

    Abstract: In a normal state, a video input interface receives video data. In a setup state, a control input interface receives multiple items of compressed image data, and stores the compressed image data in memory. In the normal state, a decoder reads one item from among the multiple items of compressed image data from the memory according to an instruction signal that indicates graphics data to be displayed, and decodes the compressed image data thus read so as to reproduce the original graphics data before compression. A multiplexer superimposes the graphics data on the video data.

    Abstract: In a normal state, a video input interface receives video data. In a setup state, a control input interface receives graphics data for an On Screen Display (OSD) function. In the setup state, an encoder encodes the graphics data, and stores compressed image data S6 thus encoded in memory. In the normal state, a decoder reads one item of the compressed image data from the memory according to an instruction signal, and decodes the compressed image data thus read so as to reproduce the original graphics data. A multiplexer superimposes graphics data on frame data, and outputs the superimposed graphics data.

  • Publication number: 20200357367
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a transducer apparatus for an edge-blown aerophone, the edge-blown aerophone having an aerophone embouchure hole. An aerophone speaker delivers sound to a resonant chamber of the aerophone via the aerophone embouchure hole. An aerophone microphone receives, via the aerophone embouchure hole, sound in the resonant chamber. A housing provides a lip plate with a housing embouchure hole independent and separate from the aerophone embouchure hole. Breath sensors sense breath applied across the housing embouchure hole. An electronic processor, connected to the speaker, receives signals from the microphone and the breath sensors. The breath sensors provide signals indicative of breath strength. The electronic processor generates an excitation signal which is delivered as an acoustic excitation signal to the resonant chamber by the aerophone speaker. The electronic processor uses the signals it receives to determine a desired musical note which a player of the aerophone wishes to play.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, there is provided a system and method for automatically generating a complete music work from a partially completed work provided by a user. One approach uses an artificial intelligence (AI) engine that is trained by creating incomplete works from a database of complete works and then instructing the AI to complete the incomplete works. A comparison is made between the completed works and the originals to determine the effectiveness of the training process. After the AI is trained, it is applied to the user's incomplete work to produce a final music item.

    Abstract: A desktop application and supporting web site for capturing audio and video recordings or other digital content of differing modalities is introduced, wherein multiple participants in a collaborative session may be in separate remote locations. The application includes providing a high quality data format for transferring recordings, audiovisual data and the like to a remote network location or computer and a real-time data format for intercommunicating comments and instructions that are not recorded. Peer-to-peer and server-client implementations may be optimized regarding delivery time (latency) versus content quality. The desktop application also provides mechanisms for playing back sound, video or other data for participants' reference, along with synchronized presentations of textual, audio and visual material corresponding to the session.

    Abstract: An anti-noise signal generator and a method of generating an anti-noise signal are presented. The anti-noise generator includes a first microphone input to receive a first sigma-delta modulated signal at a microphone sampling frequency. The first microphone input is coupled to a combiner via a first path and a second path. The combiner is adapted to combine a first filtered signal from the first path and a second filtered signal from the second path to generate the anti-noise signal. The first path includes a first digital filter adapted to operate at a filter frequency equal or greater than the microphone sampling frequency. The second path includes a second digital filter. The first digital filter may be a sigma-delta based filter that includes a sigma-delta modulator.
