The US Patent and Trademark Office has informed Wave Sciences that it is issuing two new patents - one for a source-separating Wearable Microphone Array and the other for a source-separating Visible Light Audio System. These inventions are targeted at far-field speech capture and recognition in crowded, noisy, reverberant conditions with many simultaneous talkers - otherwise known as the Cocktail Party Scenario. These inventions isolate individual talkers from the babel, enabling them to be heard loudly and clearly using our patented Glimpse(tm) system and method.

Wave Sciences Announces Issuance of Smart Garment Wearable Hearing Patent
Wave Sciences announces the issuance of US Patent #US9,402,117, which relates to smart garment hearing assistance technology (HAT). This invention does not suffer from the limitations of current hearing-aid or remote-microphone HAT systems and will improve the utility of current hearing-aids and ear-buds by augmenting them, by being discrete and hands-free in its use, and providing greater directionality than can be achieved with devices worn-on or -in the ear alone. This invention is particularly applicable to consumer health, consumer electronics, outdoors, military, and safety applications.
