8 results about "Vocal tract" patented technology

The vocal tract is the cavity in human beings and in animals where the sound produced at the sound source (larynx in mammals; syrinx in birds) is filtered. In birds it consists of the trachea, the syrinx, the oral cavity, the upper part of the esophagus, and the beak. In mammals it consists of the laryngeal cavity, the pharynx, the oral cavity, and the nasal cavity.

Representation of the speech apparatus in an articulatory feature space

PCT designated stageWO2026124940A1TracheaeSensorsData streamCharacteristic space
Techniques for processing measurement data streams for a person's speech apparatus are disclosed. The measurement data streams can be recorded by different sensor modalities, such as audio recordings or articulatory measurements, for example, which have an observable which quantifies a characteristic property of the vocal tract. The measurement data streams can be processed by means of a machine-learned model in order to obtain a temporal sequence of feature vectors in an articulatory feature space. These specific feature vectors enable a variety of applications, such as articulation training, therapeutic applications in the event of speech restrictions, for instance after a stroke, vocal training or speech synthesis.

Acoustic product sound port protection structure

ActiveCN224459931Ureduce lossesReduces the risk of direct impact to the tarpVocal tractSound wave
This utility model discloses a sound port protection structure for an acoustic product, comprising an acoustic product, a shell, a soft rubber sleeve, and a waterproof cloth. The opening of the shell is equipped with a short vertical baffle, a high vertical baffle, and a horizontal baffle, forming staggered upper and lower sound channels. This utility model has a reasonable structural design. The soft rubber sleeve covers the acoustic product, providing cushioning and shock absorption, thus offering initial protection. Utilizing the properties of the waterproof cloth, it allows sound to pass through while blocking liquids and particles, providing excellent waterproof and dustproof effects. Simultaneously, the structural cooperation of the short, high, and horizontal baffles forms a staggered labyrinthine structure of upper, middle, and lower sound channels. The tortuous and staggered sound channel paths effectively block directly intruding rainwater, washing water jets, and larger dust particles, greatly reducing the risk of high-pressure water directly impacting the waterproof cloth, while sound waves can easily propagate through the tortuous sound channel paths with minimal sound loss, ensuring acoustic performance.

Virtualizer for binaural audio

ActiveUS12641388B2Pseudo-stereo systemsVirtualizationVocal tract
Systems and methods for providing a binaural virtualization by upmixing the left and right input signals to produce left, right, and center channels, mixing the left and right input signals with the upmixed left and right channels respectively at a proportion given by a center-only reverb amount value, then reverberating the output of the mixing prior to virtualization. This can be further simplified by mode switching between two different filtering modes: a standard mode and a simplified mode.
