ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,770,598, issued on Oct. 20.

"Method and system for acoustics simulation including spatial features using modal decomposition" was invented by Jonathan S. Abel (Menlo Park, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method and system for synthesizing acoustics including its spatial content via modal analysis of a room or resonating object is described. In one embodiment of the inventive system, a parallel set of resonant mode filters is employed to simulate the effect of a room or resonating object acting on a source generating a signal at a source position, and picked up by a listener at a listener position.
