BOHEMIA, N.Y., July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrea
Electronics Corporation (OTCBB: ANDR), a leading developer of
hardware and software microphone technologies, today announced the
issuance of U.S. Patent No. 8,767,973 covering an audio enhancement
technique known as beam forming. Cutting edge electronics
manufacturers generally utilize three techniques for audio input
enhancements: noise reduction, stereo microphone beam forming and
acoustic echo cancellation. The techniques are used in different
combinations to complement each other as necessary to achieve a
flexible audio input system for a growing number of user
applications. Andrea was the original architect of this system and
has developed a patent portfolio around the three different types
of algorithms that provide the functionality. The latest patent
grant for the adaptive beam forming technology is further evidence
of Andrea's continuing innovation and influence in this important
area.
