Title: Spatial audio parameter encoding and associated decoding
Inventor: TAPANI JOHANNES PIHLAJAKUJA
IPC: G10L19/025
Filed: 2020-09-18
Abstract: Spatial audio parameters are obtained 301 within a time-frequency domain. A merge metric is determined 303 and, used to merge 307 the spatial audio parameter values to fewer values over time and/or frequency. Also provided is a method of decoding an encoded signal and separate out (i.e. unmerge) a larger number of parameter values from the encoded signal. An indicator may be used 309 in the encoded signal to signify merging having been done. The merge metric may relate to an onset metric 303 for detecting the start of a sound event (e.g. a transient). The onset metric may be based on fast and slow audio signal envelopes that each depend on an energy parameter of the audio signal and a fast and slow decay time, and merging may be done if the onset metric indicates the absence of any transient sound.

Title: Prediction of load current and control current in a power converter using output voltage thresholds
Inventor: JASON W LAWRENCE
IPC: H03F3/185
Filed: 2021-04-29
Abstract: Current is controlled in a power converter with an outer control loop and an inner control loop. The outer control loop uses an outer set of output voltage thresholds for an output voltage generated by the power converter in order to provide hysteretic control of the current. The inner control loop uses an inner set of output voltage thresholds for the output voltage in order to provide continuous control of the current. The inner control loop is further configured to measure a time duration required for the output voltage to cross a single pair of two output voltage thresholds of the inner set of output voltage thresholds in order to determine an input-referred estimate of a current load of the power converter. A peak current threshold and valley current threshold is set for the current based on the input-referred estimate of the current load. The power converter may be used to provide a supply voltage to a power amplifier for a signal driven to speakers, headphones or other transducers.
