A system is provided to reduce noise from a signal of speech that is contaminated by noise. The present system employs an artificial intelligence that is capable of deciding upon the adjustment of a filter subsystem by distinguishing between noise and speech in the spectrum of the incoming signal of speech plus noise. The system does this by testing the pattern of a power or envelope function of the frequency spectrum of the incoming signal. The system determines that the fast changing portions of that envelope denote speech whereas the residual is determined to be the frequency distribution of the noise power. This determination is done while examining either the whole spectrum or …

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 6, 1992 and granted October 14, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 6, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 6, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
