Variable attack & release system and method
First Claim
1. A signal processor system comprising a power estimation signal, a variable attack and release stage for detecting changes in amplitude of the power estimation signal relative to time, comparing the changes in amplitude relative to time to a first criteria, applying a first algorithm if the change in amplitude does not meet the first criteria, applying a second algorithm if the change in amplitude does meet the first criteria.

Abstract
Variable attack and release system and method are disclosed for dynamically modifying the various elements of the system including modifying compander response time to dynamically adjust for changing parameters such as environmental or input signal changes to maintain output signals within predetermined limits. The system and method include permitting accurate and quick response to noise sources having a duration which exceeds a predetermined threshold while at the same time ignoring transient or short duration environmental noise.
