Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H04L 7/00

US Classification:

375372, 375371, 375373, 375376, 375355, 713503, 370505, 370229

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for compensating for differences in communication system transmit and receive clock signal frequencies include buffer timing modification and sample addition. In buffer timing modification, a buffer clock signal is interrupted as needed to slow the rate of data through the buffer. In sample addition, pseudo samples are inserted into a data stream to compensate for timing differences.

International Classification:

G10L 21/02
G10L 19/00

US Classification:

704228, 704501

Abstract:

A bit error concealment (BEC) system and method is described herein that detects and conceals the presence of click-like artifacts in an audio signal caused by bit errors introduced during transmission of the audio signal within an audio communications system. A particular embodiment of the present invention utilizes a low-complexity design that introduces no added delay and that is particularly well-suited for applications such as Bluetooth wireless audio devices which have low cost and low power dissipation requirements.

International Classification:

H03M 13/00

US Classification:

714774, 714 3, 714747

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for managing bit errors present in an encoded bit stream representative of a portion of an audio signal, wherein the encoded bit stream is received via a channel in a wireless communications system. The channel may comprise, for example, a Synchronous Connection-Oriented (SCO) channel or an Extended SCO (eSCO) channel in a Bluetooth wireless communications system.

Abstract:

A composition, and method for a targeted drug delivery is disclosed in treating central nervous system injury, including blast hearing loss, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the like, by administering a subject with nanoparticle-based minocycline formulations. The formulation contains nanoparticles encapsulating minocycline for neuroprotective effect in TBI. Albumin nanoparticle-based minocycline formulations provide enhanced delivery to brain, and reduced toxicity at minimal dosage for treating a subject suffering from central nervous system injury including blast induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI). Nanoparticle administered at minimal dose in rat blast TBI model crossed blood-brain barrier (BBB) and enhanced therapeutic concentration compared to free minocycline. Provided is an effective and safe minocycline delivery in TBI with minimal or no toxicity for neuroprotective therapy. Studies indicate performance for behavioral (acute and chronic), pathological (chronic) and hearing loss mitigation using the disclosed drug and nanoparticles in rat moderate bTBI model.

International Classification:

G10L 13/033
G10L 13/047

Abstract:

Novel methods and systems for adapting a voice cloning synthesizer for a new speaker using real speech data are disclosed. Utterances from one or more target speakers are parameterized and are used to initialize an embedding vector for use with a voice synthesizer, by means of clustering the utterance data and determining the centroid of the data, using a speaker identification neural network, and/or by finding the closest stored embedded vector to the utterance data.

Abstract:

A suction assembly, toothbrush, and method are provided that suction fluids and debris resulting from brushing. The suction assembly includes a housing configured to couple to the toothbrush so that a portion extends around sides and a back of the toothbrush head and is spaced from the toothbrush head by a gap. The suction assembly further includes a vacuum pump, a collection reservoir, and one or more conduits that couple the vacuum pump, suction head portion, and collection reservoir to apply a suction around the toothbrush head through the gap and deposit suctioned material in the collection reservoir.
