Inventor: PONTOPPIDAN NIELS HENRIK
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2012-05-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for processing audio signals. It is based on the discovery that varying the FM index of fast FM modulations of a sound affects the spectral content of the sound in a way that a listener directly interprets as varying the apparent loudness of the sound, and as varying the vocal effort in the case that the sound is speech. 
     The invention covers a method for processing an audio signal (i(t)), the method comprising: receiving a first set (x(t)) of time-varying signals representing a first sound comprised in the audio signal (i(t)), the first set (x(t)) of time-varying signals comprising an amplitude modulation signal (a(t)), a carrier frequency signal (f c (t)), a pitch signal (f 0 (t)) and an FM index signal (h(t)); and modifying the first set (x(t)) of time-varying signals by modifying the amplitude of the FM index signal (h(t)), thereby providing a first modified set (x'(t)) of time-varying signals. 
     The resulting first modified set (x'(t)) of time-varying signals may subsequently be modulated to provide an audio output signal. The invention may be useful in a wide range of audio processing systems, e.g. audio broadcast systems, audio communication systems, speech recognition systems, audio reconstruction systems and public address systems as well as in audio processing apparatus, such as hearing devices.

Title: Circular polarized compound loop antenna
Inventor: BROWN FORREST JAMES
IPC: H01Q9/04
Filed: 2012-01-18
Abstract: Embodiments provide single-sided and multi-layered circular polarized, self-contained, compound loop antennas (circular polarized CPL). Embodiments of the CPL antennas produce circular polarized signals by using two electric field radiators physically oriented orthogonal to each other, and by ensuring that the two electric field radiators are positioned such that an electrical delay between the two electric field radiators results in the two electric field radiators emitting their respective electric fields out of phase. Ensuring the proper electrical delay between the two electric field radiators also maintains high efficiency of the antenna and it improves the axial ratio of the antenna.
