Introduction

Lyle Nitta is an inventor associated with Westminster, Colorado. His patent work includes an approach to reducing howling in active noise control systems for wearable audio devices.

Latest Patents

Nitta’s listed patent, “Adaptive Howling Suppression for Active Noise Control Systems,” describes a method for managing howling in wearable audio components such as earbuds. The system first detects howling and reduces active noise control output to pre-suppress it. It then determines whether the device is being worn and applies corresponding on-ear or off-ear tuning settings, cycling through suppression stages until normal output can resume without howling. The patent record provided lists 1 patent for Nitta.

Career Highlights

Nitta is associated with Google Inc. His patent focuses on adapting noise-control behavior to whether a wearable audio device is on-ear or off-ear, helping restore active noise control while suppressing unwanted audio feedback.
