Abstract: The method involves applying a modification operation to an initial audio signal to deliver an intermediate audio signal. Another modification operation implemented by a pitch synchronous overlap and add technique is applied to the intermediate signal to deliver a final audio signal based on a modification factor. The factor is determined in a manner to take into account effects of the former operation on a fundamental frequency of the initial signal so that fundamental frequency obtained by the final signal conforms to a modification setpoint relative to the frequency of the initial signal. An independent claim is also included for a computer program comprising instructions to perform a method for modifying acoustic characteristics of an initial audio signal with respect to modification setpoints.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un diffuseur permettant de ralentir un gaz comprimé, qui comprend un anneau divisé à des positions périphériques autour de l'anneau en plusieurs sections arquées, l'anneau complet étant assemblé à partir de ces sections. L'anneau définit un ou plusieurs conduits, dont la section transversale augmente dans la direction d'écoulement d'un fluide à travers le diffuseur. L'interface entre des sections adjacentes est configurée de manière à empêcher un mouvement relatif entre les sections. L'interface peut être configurée pour avoir une série de dentelures de verrouillage réciproque le long de la longueur axiale du diffuseur. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, il y a deux sections arquées mettant en jeu deux interfaces, et les pics et creux des dentelures sont disposés selon un angle par rapport à un axe longitudinal du diffuseur. Une bonne immunité au mouvement relatif entre les sections est obtenue lorsque cet angle est de signe opposé aux deux interfaces.
