Title: The Innovations of Patrick Joseph Doran

Introduction

Patrick Joseph Doran is a notable inventor based in Plantation, FL (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of wireless communication and audio processing. With a total of 16 patents to his name, Doran's work has had a considerable impact on technology.

Latest Patents

One of Doran's latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for determining a timing offset for processing a multi-carrier signal." This invention involves a receiver that is a component in a wireless communication device. The receiver is designed to receive a multi-carrier communication signal and determine a timing offset. It comprises a controller that performs correlation on each of the sub-carriers in the multi-carrier signal to provide multiple timing offsets. A quality metric corresponding to each timing offset is used to select the best one, or alternatively, a set of timing offsets exceeding a threshold may be averaged for processing.

Another significant patent is "Pitch adaptive equalization for improved audio." This invention features a pitch adaptive circuit that includes an equalizer control circuit. The circuit evaluates the pitch of processed speech signals and selects an equalizer based on the pitch information. This selection improves audio quality automatically, without requiring user intervention.
