摘要： An automatic defect detection method for detecting a defect in an object comprises: obtaining ultrasound scan data of the object, dividing echo amplitude values of the data into a plurality of sub-sets; assessing each sub-set to determine whether any echo amplitude values resulted from a structure of interest; computing for each sub-set, using at least a representative position of the structure portion of the sub-set and of a neighboring sub-set, a preselected mathematical function which is directly or inversely proportional to a distance between the representative positions; identifying sub-sets having a computed value that does not meet a predetermined criterion as regions of the ultrasound scan data that require inspection; issuing a notification indicating whether or not a region requiring inspection has been found; and if a region requiring inspection been found, storing data identifying the region in a database.

摘要： A system determines to use at least two independent renderers to render at least two output streams that are to be synchronized. The independent renderers are provided with a shared synchronization object when instructed to render the respective output stream. A time when all of the independent renderers can render a respective first buffer of the respective output stream is determined from the shared synchronization object. Rendering of the output streams utilizing the independent renderers is begun at the determined time. In this way, rendering of the output streams may be synchronized.

摘要： A stringed instrument includes a body, a string, a string exciting device and a bridge. The body supports the string, the string exciting device and the bridge. The string has a scale length determined by a distance between a first support point and a second support point. The string exciting device is designed to be driven by an electrical signal having a certain frequency and vibrate the string by applying an excitation signal having a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the electrical signal. The bridge has the first support point and a surface located between the first support point and the second support point and designed to come into contact with the string during vibration of the string.

摘要： A system for timbral change, capable of changing timbres included in an existing music audio signal to arbitrary timbres. Replaced harmonic peak parameters are created by replacing a plurality of harmonic peaks included in harmonic peak parameters, which are stored in a separated audio signal analyzing and storing section 3 and indicate relative amplitudes of n-th order harmonic components of each tone generated by a musical instrument of a first kind, with harmonic peaks included in harmonic peak parameters, which are stored in a replacement parameter storing section 6 and indicate relative amplitudes of n-th order harmonic components of each tone generated by a musical instrument of a second kind and corresponding to each tone generated by the musical instrument of the first kind. A synthesized separated audio signal generating section 7 generates a synthesized separated audio signal for each tone using parameters other than the harmonic peak parameters and the replaced harmonic peak parameters.

摘要： A circuit, method, and system for producing artificial ambience effect for an input audio signal, mono, stereo, or surround. The ambience effect enhances artificial reverberation, replaces artificial reverberation, or synthesizes extra audio channels, such as surround channels. The circuit may include a transient reduction module and a reverberation filter. The transient reduction module may be adapted to reduce transients in an input audio signal of one or more channels. The reverberation filter maybe adapted to receive a transient-reduced signal of one or more channels corresponding to the transient-reduced signal.

摘要： The audio process is a signal path having a plurality of filters connected or including distortion means. The prime example of this phenomenon surrounds inductances such as found in magnetic tape recorders, spring reverberators, and transformers. The inductors require a pre-emphasis filter to produce a constant current. Secondarily there are the complementary filters associated with the average spectrum of audio which are used to maximize the signal to noise ratio. Ideally the net response of the filters is flat, however, roll-offs at the audio extremes are quite common. The audio process distortion emulates the distortion of the active devices between the filters such as vacuum tube and magnet non-linearities. Since the distortion devices follow filters, the spectra of distortion is different than the frequency response.

摘要： An electric guitar amplifier which utilizes a digital signal processor to produce vacuum-tube-like distortion without certain unwanted audio artifacts created by previous digital realizations of nonlinear, high-gain functions. By virtue of a microprocessor-controlled digital signal processor embodiment, the invention gives the user programmable control over parameters normally associated with state of the art guitar amplifiers (e.g. tone controls, reverb controls, tremolo controls, etc.), as well as other musically useful parameters which are not normally included among the controls of a guitar amplifier (e.g. selection of preamp type, autovolume, reverberation type, autowah, etc.).

摘要： This invention is an emulation of vacuum tube guitar amplifier with devices that emulate vacuum tube plate voltage and current characteristics. This amplifier system has a switching system for selecting preamplifiers and which alters the behavior of the output stage by changing features such as feedback and compression character. The preamplifier and output stages use non-linear means for the emulation of triode amplifiers, cathode followers, phase splitters, and pentode amplifiers. The features emulated are the grid conduction with scaling and offsetting, current gain, plate voltage and current characteristics, and compression.
