Biometric audio security
Patent number: 9679427
Abstract: A biometric audio security system comprises providing an input voice audio source. The input audio is enhanced in two or more harmonic and dynamic ranges by re-synthesizing the audio into a full range PCM wave. A hardware key with a set of audio frequency spikes (identifiers) with varying amplitude and frequency values is provided. The enhanced voice audio input and the key using additive resynthesis are summed. The voice and the spike set is compared against the users identification signature to verify user's identity. The set of audio spikes are user specific. The spikes are stored on the protected key device as a template, which would plug into the system. The template is determined by the owner/manufacturer of the system. The spikes are created and identified using the additive synthesis technique with a predetermined number of partials (harmonics). The identifiers include both positive and negative values. The amplitude and frequency values are spaced in very fine intervals.

ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION METHOD FOR AIRCRAFT
Publication number: 20150358728
Abstract: A Noise Cancellation Process for Aircraft is disclosed. According to one embodiment, an input audio source corresponding to sound received from multiple microphones situated equidistantly in both directions in a two dimensional plane, is converted to a digital signal via an analog to digital (A/D) convertor. The A/D converted audio is analyzed for content to identify ambient noise. The frequency, amplitude and phase of the identified ambient noise is subsequently determined. A Noise correction sound wave is generated with negative phase of that corresponding to the identified ambient noise. The noise correction sound wave is added to the identified noise to create a noise corrected sound.

AUDIO PROCESSING APPLICATION FOR WINDOWS
Publication number: 20150326195
Abstract: An audio enhancement technique comprises an audio source. The audio source is split into at least two branches and each of the branches is processed by a filter bank. Outputs from the filer banks are summed up to create a summed output signal. The summed output signal is splitting into two or more segments to create a split summed output signal. The split summed output signal is processed by one or more audio processing modules. Audio processed by each of the audio processing modules is summed to create a summed audio processed signal. The summed audio processed signal is provided to a balance module to select a balance mix of the audio source and the summed audio processed signal to create a balanced mixed audio signal. The balanced mixed audio signal is fed to a stereo output gain module for gain adjustment to create a gain adjusted stereo signal.

METHOD AND PROCESS FOR REDUCING TINNITUS
Publication number: 20150005661
Abstract: A process and system for reducing Tinnitus includes receiving an input audio sound by a user. The user listens to different tones (frequencies) of the received audio to determine both amplitude and frequency of the ringing or tinnitus tone in user's ears and provides tactile response on an input device (keyboard, etc.). The offending frequencies and amplitudes are identified based on the user's responses and a diagnosis from the data collected is produced and a tone map for each ear separately is created and the collection of tones and amplitudes are provided to the user to hear. User is tested for amplitude of these tones and the tones are increased until the audible ringing disappears as the phase of these tones will be shifted from zero to negative 180 degrees and as their level is increased, the ringing will decrease until it is substantially reduced.

MAX SOUND AUDIO PROGRAM
Publication number: 20150003633
Abstract: A process and system for enhancing and customizing sound comprises receiving an input audio sound and processing the input by one or more filter blocks to dynamically reshape the dynamic, phase and frequency content of the input audio sound. The parallel processed audio is combined in a sound mixer and tube harmonics are added to the output from the mixer. The tube harmonics added audio is fed to a highpass filter which sets a frequency limit of audio passing through this block. A low pass filter movines the audio in a plus or minus direction with a dynamic envelope control. A frequency divider is provided for shifting audio sound below a selected frequency down an octave. Output from this stage is edited by feeding a certain amount of each side of the audio to a corresponding opposite side. The frequency balance is adjusted by setting a band phase coherent equalizer for frequency adjustments. The original, unprocessed sound is then mixed with the processed audio.
