Title: The Innovations of Benjamin Blizard
Introduction
Benjamin Blizard is an accomplished inventor based in Oakland, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of adaptive noise cancellation and data acquisition systems. With a total of 2 patents, his work has advanced the technology used in various applications.
Latest Patents
Benjamin's latest patents include a "System and method for controlling learning period for adaptive noise cancellation." This invention describes a data acquisition system that is coupled to a mains power source. It features a test probe that connects to a subject, with an analog to digital converter that transforms signals from the test probe into samples. A noise replica generator estimates noise in these samples, while a noise removal block eliminates the noise from each sample. The system intelligently manages the flow of samples based on whether the subject is undergoing stimulation.
Another notable patent is "System and methods for constructing a noise replica." This invention outlines a data acquisition system that utilizes a zero crossing detector to generate a mains cycle start signal. An analog-to-digital converter samples signals from a test probe, generating data samples at a specific sampling rate. The noise replica generator creates noise replicas from these data samples, and a noise removal module effectively removes noise estimates from the corresponding data samples.
