摘要:
An active noise reduction (ANR) circuit includes a digital feed-forward ANR pathway coupled to a feed-forward microphone, to detect environmental sounds in an environment external to a casing, and to a first acoustic driver to output sounds within the casing. The digital feed-forward ANR pathway applies a plurality of filters using a first set of coefficients to convert signals from the feed-forward microphone to feed-forward anti-noise sounds to reduce environmental sounds within the casing. In response to a stimulus, the digital feed-forward ANR pathway applies the plurality of filters using a second set of coefficients, which reduce the degree of feed-forward ANR to enable human speech sounds in the environment external to the casing to be conveyed from the feed-forward microphone to the acoustic driver with less reduction than provided by the first plurality of filters.

A sound absorbing device includes: a plurality of sound absorbing units. A frequency of sound absorbed by at least one of the sound absorbing units overlaps, at least partially, with a frequency of sound with a volume increased by installation of another sound absorbing unit.
摘要:
A method for suppressing the late reverberation of an audio signal. A plurality of prediction vectors are calculated. A plurality of observation vectors from the modulus of the complex time-frequency transform of an input signal is generated. A plurality of synthesis dictionaries from the plurality of observation vectors are constructed. A late reverberation spectrum from the plurality of synthesis dictionaries and the plurality of prediction vectors are estimated. A plurality of observation vectors are filtered to eliminate the late reverberation spectrum and obtain a dereverberated signal modulus.
摘要:
The privacy-preserving energy-efficient speaker implementations described herein improve user privacy while a user is listening to audio and can reduce the energy necessary to output the audio. This can be done by using parametric speakers and/or traditional loud-speakers. Signal splitting and masking can be used to improve user privacy. Additionally, a signal modulation technique which significantly reduces power requirements to output an audio signal, especially in the context of using parametric speakers, can also be employed.

Provided is a method and apparatus for encoding/decoding an audio signal. Sections which are not used to output noise components near important spectral components and sub-bands which are not used to output noise components, are determined to be encoded or decoded, so that the efficiency of encoding and decoding an audio signal increases, and sound quality can be improved using less bits.
