Appl. No.:

09/189924

Inventors:

Qin Zhang - San Jose CA

Gang Hou - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Oplink Communications, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H01S 313

US Classification:

372 32, 372 18, 372 20, 354233, 354234, 354236, 354341

Abstract:

A system and method for providing a wavelength locker is disclosed. In one aspect, the method and system include providing a reflector, a first filter, and a second filter. The reflector is for receiving an optical signal, transmitting a first portion of the optical signal, and reflecting a second portion of the optical signal. The first filter is for receiving the first portion and transmitting a third portion of the optical signal. The first filter includes a first axis and is capable of being tuned by rotation around the first axis to transmit the third portion including a particular wavelength. The second filter is for receiving the third portion and transmitting a fourth portion of the optical signal. The second filter includes a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis and is capable of being tuned by rotation around the second axis to transmit the fourth portion including the particular wavelength. In one aspect, the method and system also include photodetectors to receive the second and fourth portions of the optical signal.

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370252, 370356

Abstract:

In assessing the capability of an IP based network to support toll telephony service, objective measurements of Speech Quality are taken. A module is used with Voice over Packet equipment that allows performance of voice quality measurements in real-time without using any external test equipment. A reference signal that includes a marker and a voice test signal is sent through the network from one Voice over Packet equipment containing or connected to the module to another. The received marker is compared to the reference marker to identify the onset time of the received voice test signal. The received and reference voice test signals are processed to measure the quality of the network. This may be implemented using the processing power and memory resources present in Voice over Packet equipment giving the network administrator an enhanced test capability at each node of the network. Voice quality measurements may be generated in a transparent way for the callers in real-time under severely degraded conditions of the network.

Wen Wang - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:

SRS Labs, Inc. - Santa Ana CA

International Classification:

H04R 5/02

US Classification:

381309, 381310, 381 74

Abstract:

Systems and methods of processing audio signals are described. The audio signals comprise information about spatial position of a sound source relative to a listener. At least one audio filter generates two filtered signals for each of audio signal. The two filtered signals are mixed with other filtered signals from other audio signals to create a right output audio channel and a left audio output channel, such that the spatial position of the sound source is perceptible from the right and left audio output channels.

US Classification:

381 17, 381310

Abstract:

Systems and methods for audio signal processing are disclosed, where a discrete number of simple digital filters are generated for particular portions of an audio frequency range. Studies have shown that certain frequency ranges are particularly important for human ears' location-discriminating capability, while other ranges are generally ignored. Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) are examples response functions that characterize how ears perceive sound positioned at different locations. By selecting one or more “location-critical” portions of such response functions, one can construct simple filters that can be used to simulate heating where location-discriminating capability is substantially maintained. Because the filters can be simple, they can be implemented in devices having limited computing power and resources to provide location-discrimination responses that form the basis for many desirable audio effects.

International Classification:

H04R 5/00

US Classification:

381 17

Abstract:

A stereo widening system and associated signal processing algorithms are described herein that can, in several embodiments, widen a stereo image with fewer processing resources than existing crosstalk cancellation systems. These system and algorithms can advantageously be implemented in a handheld device or other device with speakers placed close together, thereby improving the stereo effect produced with such devices at lower computational cost. However, the systems and algorithms described herein are not limited to handheld devices, but can more generally be implemented in any device with multiple speakers.

Appl. No.:

15/612484

Inventors:

Wen Wang - Middletown NJ, US
Brion Gompper - Lakewood NJ, US

International Classification:

F16K 5/04
F16K 27/04

Abstract:

The valve has a pair of mutually rotatable ceramic valve bodies within the bonnet that cooperate to allow a flow of water in one relative position and to block a flow of water in a second relative position. One valve body is engaged by the valve stem to rotate therewith while the second valve body is held fixed within the bonnet via radial projections that fit into recesses in the bonnet. An elastomeric ring of square cross-section is squeezed against the non-rotatable valve body by a spiral retaining ring that is positioned in a circumferential groove in the bonnet.
