Established by former Bell Labs research scientists, Li Creative Technologies, Inc. is focused on advanced signal processing technology. New products are noise reduction chips and software for cell phones, PDA, IP phones and other communication equipment. On average, LcT's technology can improve signal-to-noise ratio by 15 dB which is the best technology in this area. The low cost and low power- consumption chip can be inserted into any cell phone circuits to improve the voice quality significantly without changing the cell phone software, and the sizes of the chips are just from 3x4 mm to 8x8 mm depending on selected packaging techniques. The company is engaged in research and development for computer, telecommunication, aerospace, and many other industry sectors. Areas of investigation include: Noise reduction / Speech enhancement algorithms; DSP software, and chips; Microphone array algorithms and hardware modules; Advanced speech signal processing algorithms; Fast dynamic pattern recognition theory and algorithms; New theory, models, and algorithms for speech and speaker recognition; Dynamic prognostics for aircraft health management; Multi-modality emotional state recognition; and New biometric techniques.
