Wave Sciences is proud to announce the launch of Acoustical Focus, the first application powered by the GLIMPSE(tm) computational acoustics engine for refocusing multichannel audio.
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the advanced research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — recently launched a cutting-edge program that aims to make performance-grade, computerized clothing a reality.
Wave Sciences Founder, Keith McElveen, will be giving a presentation at the Charleston Technology Center on Deepfake Video and Audio on Wednesday, January 18th, 2023.
Ever since 1953 when Dr. Colin Cherry coined the term “the cocktail party problem” to describe the mystery as to how humans are able to distinguish one voice from another in a noisy, reverberant room using only two ears, scientists have been trying to puzzle it out, without success. The mystery may now have been solved. Researchers from Wave Sciences published a paper at the recent International Congress on Acoustics (Gyeongju, Korea) in which we hypothesized that the approach underlying our patented GLIMPSE speech separation method is a computational model for human spatial hearing. The title of the paper was “A Proposed Signal Processing Model Of Human Spatial Hearing Using Interaural Cross Correlation and Auditory Glimpsing To Estimate Green’s Functions.”
The following video was created from evidence released by the State of Florida in its case against Charles (Charlie) Adelson regarding the murder of Dan Markel. The video contains both pre- and post-enhancement versions of the evidence. Enhanced Matsuri Restaurant Meeting FBI Recording: FL v. Charles Adelson (Dan Markel murder) uncut.
Wave Sciences’ patented source separation engine - code named GLIMPSE - was used in the ongoing Dan Markel murder case in Florida. Originally, crucial audio evidence recorded in a noisy restaurant was deemed inadmissible by the judge as it was unintelligible, even after being enhanced using the best practices and technology available. However, once GLIMPSE was applied to the problem, the entire recording was allowed.
Results from recent testing of our source separation technology were presented on June 3rd at the Acoustical Society of America’s Acoustics in Focus meeting. Our founder, J. Keith McElveen, discussed the Cocktail Party Problem and how combining human-inspired glimpsing of brief auditory snippets of speech with machine learning was able to isolate the desired talkers with only 4 or 6 microphones, whether the talkers were in the near- or far-fields.
The US Patent and Trademark Office has informed Wave Sciences that it is issuing two new patents - one for a source-separating Wearable Microphone Array and the other for a source-separating Visible Light Audio System. These inventions are targeted at far-field speech capture and recognition in crowded, noisy, reverberant conditions with many simultaneous talkers - otherwise known as the Cocktail Party Scenario. These inventions isolate individual talkers from the babel, enabling them to be heard loudly and clearly using our patented Glimpse(tm) system and method.
Wave Sciences is pleased to announce that the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will shortly be issuing US 10,735,887 - a patent for our Spatial Audio Array Processing System and Method. This ground-breaking innovation enables a compact microphone array to extract individual voices from a cocktail party babel in uncontrolled, real-world situations - even with sound sources in-between the array and the desired talker(s). This invention is particularly relevant to conferencing systems, hearing assistive devices, and smart speakers.
The US Patent and Trademark Office has informed Wave Sciences that it is issuing a patent for our Portable Computing Device Microphone Array that can be added to any existing laptop, tablet, or smartphone simply by attaching a case or cover with our technology embedded within. This invention is targeted at individuals with hearing loss who need to hear remotely in noisy or distant conditions, such as students in a classroom or lecture hall.
The US Patent and Trademark Office has informed Wave Sciences that it is issuing two patents for recent innovations. The first patent is for a variation of our Visible Light Audio System that employs our breakthrough array processing technology. It is targeted at individuals with hearing loss that are present in the space or who are listening remotely via teleconferencing. The second patent is a variation of our Smart Garment Hearing technology that integrates the microphones more tightly into the garment. This invention is targeted at individuals with hearing loss or who otherwise would benefit from directional audio to hear better in noise or across distance.
The US Patent and Trademark Office has informed Wave that it is issuing two patents for its novel, mechanical approach to helping smart speakers hear better in noisy conditions. The invention drew inspiration from the acoustic mirrors carved into England’s White Cliffs of Dover during the early days of World War II. Microphones were placed on a shelf below the acoustic mirrors, which were half-parabolas, to hear approaching German bombers from across the English Channel and sound the alarm. Warping the half-parabola shape of the Cliffs into a ring and then engineering the curvature and other dimensions appropriately to focus sound on a ring-shaped array of microphones led to a structure that helps popular smart speakers (you know the ones) work better in noise and from further away. And they also help the speakers sound better too!
J. Keith McElveen will be giving a talk on Wearable Hearing at The Citadel at 4pm EDT on September 25, 2019. The event is open to the public. Details can be found in the news article.

The US Patent and Trademark Office has issued a utility patent to Wave Sciences for a visible light communications (VLC) audio system using compact fluorescent light (CFL) and light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. Individuals with hearing loss are expected to benefit from this innovative way to listen to recorded or live audio without the interference and fading issues of radio frequency technologies. Businesses open to the public are expected to likewise benefit from an affordable and convenient path to ADA compliance.
