Centurion Patentors as of May 13, 2025

Max Neuendorf
Audio Product Manager at Fraunhofer IIS.
Patent №: RE50430 – Device and method for manipulating an audio signal.

A device processes audio by splitting it into blocks, including padded ones. It converts these to spectral form, modifies the phases, then converts them back to a time-domain audio signal.

David Nister
Vice President at NVIDIA.
Patent №: 12299892 – Intersection region detection and classification for autonomous machine applications.

Vehicle sensors provide real-time data to detect and classify intersection contention areas. A deep neural network generates signed distance functions, which are decoded into segmentation masks and converted to world-space for safe navigation.

Yan Xin
Senior Member, Technical Staff at BlackBerry.
Patent №: 12301343 – Link adaptation for extremely high throughput systems.

The application enables EHT link adaptation by signaling control information in the MAC header. A control ID or a specific bit (B25) in the A-control field indicates the presence of EHT link adaptation data and an optional extension field for additional parameters.

Khaled Mammou
Khaled Mammou is a senior engineer at Apple working on designing 3D compression solutions. He is the co-chair of the AOMedia Volumetric Visual Media Working Group.
Patent №: 12301789 – Region-based reference frame management.

A region-based video encoding system that uses hints and frame region analysis to improve compression, especially for dynamic content like game streams or remote desktops.
