Fundamental DSP/speech processing patent for sale

US Patent 7,124,075 "Methods and apparatus for pitch determination" 
will be auctioned as Lot 147 at the upcoming ICAP Patent Brokerage 
Live IP Action on November 17, 2011 at The Ritz Carlton, San 
Francisco. 
The patent addresses a core problem of signal processing in general, 
and speech signal processing in particular: period (fundamental 
frequency) determination of a (quasi)-periodic signal, or pitch 
detection problem in speech/audio signal processing. 
Patented nonlinear signal processing techniques originate from chaos 
theory and address known limitations of traditional linear signal 
processing methods like FFT or correlation. 
Patented methods are amenable to efficient implementation in both 
software and hardware (FPGAs, ASICs). 
Forward citations include Microsoft, Mitsubishi Space Software, 
Broadcom, Sharp and Teradata.
