20150380007 | TEMPORAL GAIN ADJUSTMENT BASED ON HIGH-BAND SIGNAL CHARACTERISTIC - The present disclosure provides techniques for adjusting a temporal gain parameter and for adjusting linear prediction coefficients. A value of the temporal gain parameter may be based on a comparison of a synthesized high-band portion of an audio signal to a high-band portion of the audio signal. If a signal characteristic of an upper frequency range of the high-band portion satisfies a first threshold, the temporal gain parameter may be adjusted. A linear prediction (LP) gain may be determined based on an LP gain operation that uses a first value for an LP order. The LP gain may be associated with an energy level of an LP synthesis filter. The LP order may be reduced if the LP gain satisfies a second threshold. | 2015-12-31 |
20150380008 | HIGH-BAND SIGNAL CODING USING MISMATCHED FREQUENCY RANGES - A method includes generating a first signal corresponding to a first component of a high-band portion of an audio signal. The first component has a first frequency range. The method includes generating a high-band excitation signal corresponding to a second component of the high-band portion of the audio signal. The second component has a second frequency range differs from the first frequency range. The high-band excitation signal is provided to a filter having filter coefficients generated based on the first signal to generate a synthesized version of the high-band portion of the audio signal. | 2015-12-31 |
20150380009 | Methods of Decoding Speech from the Brain and Systems for Practicing the Same - Provided are methods of decoding speech from the brain of a subject. The methods include detecting speech production signals from electrodes operably coupled to the speech motor cortex of a subject while the subject produces or imagines producing a speech sound. The methods further include deriving a speech production signal pattern from the detected speech production signals, and correlating the speech production signal pattern with a reference speech production signal pattern to decode speech from the brain of the subject. Speech communication systems and devices for practicing the subject methods are also provided. | 2015-12-31 |
