| 22 | SONOTRODE APPARATUS AND DEVICE FOR ACOUSTIC LEVITATION, AND CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD | US15736428 | 2016-06-11 | US20180185878A1 | 2018-07-05 | Charles RIZK |
| Sonotrodes are used when examining substances on the basis of acoustic levitation. In order to obtain a reproducible measurement result or to extend the possible uses of devices of this kind, the respective sonotrode has to meet a whole range of requirements. Exact tuning of the frequency and clean interaction between the sonotrode and a frequency generator are particularly important. The present invention proposes that a sonic horn and a main body of the sonotrode are provided as different parts and, in this case, the sonic horn can be mounted on or in the main body in a specific manner, in particular for operation at low voltage in such a way that the amplitude or operating voltage remains below a comparatively low maximum low-voltage value, in particular 50 Vpp. The formation of heat can be prevented in this way. The present invention further relates to a control or production method for a sonotrode apparatus of this kind. In this case, it is respectively possible to extend the range of use and to improve the reproducibility or quality of the measurement results. | ||||||

| 34 | Noise reduction using multi-feature cluster tracker | US13492780 | 2012-06-08 | US09008329B1 | 2015-04-14 | Michael Mandel; Carlos Avendano |
| Provided are methods and systems for noise suppression within multiple time-frequency points of spectral representations. A multi-feature cluster tracker is used to track signal and noise sources and to predict signal versus noise dominance at each time-frequency point. Multiple features, such as binaural and monaural features, may be used for these purposes. A Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is developed and, in some embodiments, dynamically updated for distinguishing signal from noise and performing mask-based noise reduction. Each frequency band may use a different GMM or share a GMM with other frequency bands. A GMM may be combined from two models, with one trained to model time-frequency points in which the target dominates and another trained to model time-frequency points in which the noise dominates. Dynamic updates of a GMM may be performed using an expectation-maximization algorithm in an unsupervised fashion. | ||||||

| In a conventional hard material insulator, reproduced sound can be tuned with use of characteristics of the material; however, various types of acoustic materials have specific high frequency characteristics, and thus their acoustic effects lack versatility, require compatible audio devices, and change with environment, musical genre, etc. To address this, a wind-bell member (resonant member) is arranged in parallel with a main propagation path of vibration transferred from an audio device to an insulator. Accordingly, a vibration system of a wind-bell having a tone determined by many factors such as a fundamental tone, harmonic tones, lingering sound, and fluctuation assists (enhances) high frequency vibration propagated from the audio device. As a result, due to the above assist action that is different in principle from a conventional type, acoustic characteristics such as a sense of localization, resolution, and a sense of transparency and scale a sound image can be dramatically improved. | ||||||
