ACOUSTIC OUTPUT APPARATUSES AND ASSEMBLIES THEREOF
The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an acoustic apparatus. The acoustic apparatus may include a support assembly. The support assembly may include a first portion and a second portion. When a user is wearing the acoustic apparatus, the first portion may be hung between a first side of an ear and a head of the user, the second portion may contact a second side of the ear. The first portion may cause the second portion to provide a compressive force on the second side of the ear.
Radio-Frequency Transmission Line Structures Across Printed Circuits
An electronic device may include one or more radios and one or more antennas. Radio-frequency transmission lines may couple a radio to a corresponding antenna. To more efficiently form a radio-frequency transmission line, the radio-frequency transmission line may be formed from interconnected conductive traces distributed between a plurality of printed circuits. By integrating transmission line structures onto printed circuits that also serve other functions, the device can require less space to implement a radio-frequency transmission line. While one or more of these printed circuits may individually be unsuitable to implement a radio-frequency transmission line with a particular impedance, the composite impedance of these transmission line structures across the printed circuits, when properly configured, may provide a radio-frequency transmission line with the particular impedance.
NOISE SUPPRESSION USING TANDEM NETWORKS
A device includes a memory configured to store instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions. The one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to receive audio data including a first audio frame corresponding to a first output of a first microphone and a second audio frame corresponding to a second output of a second microphone. The one or more processors are also configured to execute the instructions to provide the audio data to a first noise-suppression network and a second noise-suppression network. The first noise-suppression network is configured to generate a first noise-suppressed audio frame and the second noise-suppression network is configured to generate a second noise-suppressed audio frame. The one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to provide the noise-suppressed audio frames to an attention-pooling network. The attention-pooling network is configured to generate an output noise-suppressed audio frame.
Techniques for reducing latency in a wireless home theater environment
A first playback device can include a wireless network interface, an audio input interface, one or more processors, and data storage. The data storage stores instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the first playback device to determine a first radio frequency (RF) energy level associated with RF signal communications from a second playback device to the first playback device. The first playback device modifies a threshold RF energy level for holding off transmissions by the first playback device based on the first RF energy level. The first playback device receives multi-channel audio content via the audio input interface and detects an ambient RF energy level. Based on the ambient RF energy level and the threshold RF energy level, data that represents a channel of the multi-channel audio content is communicated by the first playback device to the second playback device for playback by the second playback device in synchrony with playback of one or more other channels of the multi-channel audio content by the first playback device.
Bluetooth audio broadcasting system and related multi-member Bluetooth device supporting Bluetooth low energy audio broadcasting operations and capable of synchronously adjusting audio volume
A Bluetooth audio broadcasting system includes: an audio broadcasting device arranged to operably broadcast BLE audio packets; a first Bluetooth member device arranged to operably parse the BLE audio packets to acquire a predetermined audio data and to operably control a first audio playback circuit to playback the predetermined audio data; and a second Bluetooth member device arranged to operably parse the BLE audio packets to acquire the predetermined audio data and to operably control a second audio playback circuit to playback the predetermined audio data. After receiving the BLE audio packets from the audio broadcasting device, the first Bluetooth member further adjusts an audio volume of the first audio playback circuit according to a volume adjusting instruction transmitted from another device other than the audio broadcasting device, and the second Bluetooth member further adjusts an audio volume of the second audio playback circuit according to the volume adjusting instruction.
Wireless Communications And Transducer Based Event Detection Platform
A low-cost, multi-function adhesive wireless communications and transducer platform with a form factor that unobtrusively integrates one or more transducers and one or more wireless communication devices in an adhesive product system. In an aspect, the adhesive product system integrates transducer and wireless communication components within a flexible adhesive structure in a way that not only provides a cost-effective platform for interconnecting, optimizing, and protecting the constituent components but also maintains the flexibility needed to function as an adhesive product that can be deployed seamlessly and unobtrusively into various applications and workflows, including sensing, notification, security, and object tracking applications, and asset management workflows such as manufacturing, storage, shipping, delivery, and other logistics associated with moving products and other physical objects.
Sampler for an Intelligent Cable or Cable Adapter
A specialized audio/instrument cable with built-in digital signal processing capabilities that adds digital audio sampling capabilities that allows the user to trigger synthesized sounds or virtual musical instruments from within the cable itself to affect the sound generated from an instrument or microphone such that the cable is the only connection needed between the instrument or microphone and an output device. Using voice recognition, the specialized cable can select an audio effects chain algorithm and/or sampled sound algorithm extrapolated from a musical digital audio fingerprint (MDAF) created from a desired musician's instrument to alter the sound of the input instrument's audio.
Audio Routing Determination for Speaker Devices
When a speaker device is within communication range of an electronic device, various rules are used to determine whether to connect to or route audio data to the speaker device. For example, the electronic device may prompt the user to choose whether to connect to a wireless speaker device. In situations in which the user rejects connecting to the wireless speaker device, subsequent attempts by the speaker device to connect to the electronic device are also rejected or ignored without further prompting the user, or the wireless speaker device may be connected to the electronic device but audio data not routed to the wireless speaker device. By way of another example, the electronic device may determine whether to route audio data to a wireless speaker device based on signal strength and link quality metrics for wireless communication between the electronic device and one or more wireless speaker devices.
Apparatus for manipulation of ear devices
Disclosed herein are apparatuses for manipulation of an ear device within the ear canal of a subject. Also disclosed herein are methods of using said apparatuses for the insertion, removal, or other manipulations of the ear device. Also disclosed herein are methods of making the apparatuses, and kits containing the apparatus with instructions for use.
Terminal device, product warranty application system, warranty application validity checking method, and warranty application validity checking program
Based on the identification number of completely wireless earphones entered into an input unit, a checking unit of a terminal device checks whether or not conditions regarding an expiration period and the number of times of use for an exchange service for exchanging one of the pair that is not lost with left and right earphones are satisfied. A display control unit causes a display unit to display a message with an instruction to return the earphone that is not lost when the conditions are satisfied.
