A magnetic communications transmitter includes a magnetic field generator and a controller. The magnetic field generator is configured to generate a magnetic field. The controller is configured to control the magnetic field generator by controlling an electrical current supplied to the magnetic field generator, and causing the magnetic field generator to generate an optimized variable amplitude triangular waveform.

An apparatus for time aware audio streams is described herein. The apparatus includes a converter and an alignment unit. The converter is to perform sample rate conversion of data from a first clock to a second clock. The alignment unit is to indicate valid sample points in the data based on a relationship between the first clock and the second clock.

A method for adjusting audio frequency includes steps of: obtaining initial frequency and temporary data storage of audio data input to a buffering unit; performing a first adjustment procedure on initial frequency to obtain a first variation of temporary data storage corresponding to a first change of initial frequency; calculating a first frequency correction amount according to first variation and a first period of first adjustment procedure; adjusting initial frequency into first frequency according to first frequency correction amount; inputting first frequency into buffering unit; performing a second adjustment procedure on first frequency to obtain a second variation of temporary data storage corresponding to a second change of first frequency; calculating a second frequency correction amount according to second variation and a second period of second adjustment procedure, which first period is less than second period; and adjusting first frequency into target frequency according to second frequency correction amount.
