Topic: 'Floating Point Differential Compression' (US patent #5933360).
I plan to have a demonstration that shows the audible effects of compression artifacts using a compression technique that I (and assigned to TI) received a patent for. I would then cover how this particular compressor works, as well as others.

2. Introduction to Sampling Theory and Reconstruction Filters
3. Low Frequency Signals
4. Floating Point Differential Compressor
5. Floating Point Differential De-compressor
6. Additional Thoughts
7. Demos
