Patent CA-2715569-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEATY PATRICK SHAWN
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 2008-02-19
Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for determining whether a culture in a vessel contains a plurality of microorganisms are provided. A normalization relative value is calculated for each respective measurement of a biological state of the culture between (i) the respective measurement and (ii) an initial biological state. For each fixed interval of time points, a derivative of the normalization relative values in the interval of time points is calculated, thereby forming a plurality of rate transformation values. For each set of rate transformation values in the plurality of rate transformation values, a measure of central tendency of the values in the set is computed, thereby forming a plurality of average relative transformation values. A determination whether the culture contains the microorganisms is made based on whether any calculated average relative transformation value exceeds a first threshold or whether an extent of growth exhibited by the culture exceeds a second threshold.

IPC: H04M1/20
Filed: 2011-07-25
Abstract: The enhancements provided herein are designed to allow an acoustic echo suppressor algorithm to operate with significant echo path delay between an audio block R in and audio block S in. In one illustration, a single reference sample or envelope value can be taken from the received audio block R in. Through an algorithm, echo signals can be suppressed and/or masked from audio block S in by delaying the previously captured reference sample and aligning the delayed reference sample with multiple samples of the audio block S in. Instead of each individual reference sample being matched with an individual sample of the audio block S in, a single captured and delayed reference sample or envelope value can be matched with multiple samples of audio block S in. The algorithm presented improves voice quality on a telephone call while reducing buffer requirements.
