Latest Patents
Christopher Carden holds a patent for a method and system designed to mitigate and compensate for the loss of digital audio data transmitted as a stream of packets to a client. This patent, titled "Error mitigation and correction in the delivery of on demand audio," outlines a process where a server compresses digital audio data corresponding to a digitized analog audio signal. The compressed data is divided into N frames of data per packet, and the server interleaves these frames to produce interleave packets.
