20110228948SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING AUDIO DATA - Described herein are systems and methods for processing audio data. For example, one embodiment provides a device configured to receive an audio signal, and process that audio signal based on a frequency mapping protocol, thereby to provide a modified audio signal. The resulting modified signal is audibly communicated to a user. In overview, the frequency mapping protocol allows components of an audio signal that within specified frequency ranges to be mapped to other frequency ranges, attenuated, or in some cases blocked altogether. The user is also able, at least in some embodiments, to use the same device to perform testing of their hearing. In some embodiments the frequency mapping protocol is modifiable by a user, for example by way of a software application running on a PC or other computational platform. This allows a significant degree of flexibility in terms of the device's operation; a user is effectively able to customize the device for his/her specific hearing requirements. For example, in the case of a partially deaf person, frequencies that could not otherwise be heard are mapped to frequencies that can be heard. In the case of a person working in a noisy environment, frequencies that are too loud (for example frequencies from particular machinery) can be terminated or attenuated.09-22-2011

20140044268SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLED DYNAMICS ADAPTATION FOR MUSICAL CONTENT - According to a preferred aspect, there is provided a system and method for controlled dynamics adaptation of audio works. The dynamics complexity of the audio is adapted depending on the listening environment and its dynamics properties. The instant invention utilizes a function of stepwise linear and logarithmical sections, which describe individual points of a curve and which therefore with the use of a parameter can be utilized to calculate and control the target value of the loudness range. The curve points are stored and provided as metadata of the musical program, which allows the dynamics scaling functionality to be implemented dynamically and not tied to a certain time or place.02-13-2014

20140019398PROACTIVE EVENT DRIVEN COMPUTING - A method for predicting a future situation based on an analysis of at least one predictive pattern. The method comprises monitoring a plurality of events carried out by an event processing component, detecting a predictive pattern predictive of a future situation, selecting one of a plurality of proactive actions and an execution time according to its effect on at least one of a probability of occurrence and a cost of occurrence of the future situation, and outputting the selected proactive action.01-16-2014
20140358696ADVERTISEMENT SYSTEM USING RETAILER INVENTORY - An advertisement system which uses a retailer inventory is described, for example, to dynamically generate advertisements with data from the retailer inventory. In various examples product data from a retailer inventory such as numbers of remaining units of a product, is available to an advertising server by querying a retailer inventory. In various examples a retailer is able to create an advertisement design for a selling period; the design is used to dynamically generate advertisements in response to advertisement impression requests from information retrieval systems, dedicated sales sites, and other entities. In various examples, prices, minimal bids and other data is calculated using data retrieved from a retailer inventory and input to advertisements generated for display at end user devices. In an example group buying is facilitated by generating advertisements stating a current number of participants out of a target number of participants.12-04-2014
20140372231ONLINE SELLING MECHANISM CREATION - Online selling mechanism creation is described, for example, whereby a retailer with business goals and constraints benefits from automatic generation and execution of software which controls generation of online offers so as to meet the business goals within the constraints. For example, as business goals and constraints change over time, bespoke selling mechanisms may be automatically updated. In various examples business goals are used to select selling mechanisms from a plurality of available online selling mechanisms; properties of the selling mechanisms may be taken into account. In examples, generic software implementing the selling mechanisms is used to instantiate a bespoke selling mechanism according to particular business goals and constraints. For example, a bespoke selling mechanism may be executed at a commerce server so as to control dynamic generation of offers.12-18-2014
