Abstract: Techniques for cleaning and calibrating a microphone are discussed herein. For example, a computing device can implement a microphone component to operate a speaker adjacent to a microphone to cause removal of an obstruction (e.g., rain, mud, dirt, dust, snow, ice, animal droppings, etc.) on or near the microphone. The microphone component can also or instead cause the speaker to output a frequency for testing operation of the microphone. By implementing the cleaning and/or calibrating techniques described herein, foreign particle(s) of varying size and type can be dislodged from an area near the microphone to improve performance of the microphone.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing user interfaces, systems, and processes for multidimensional clustering and analysis are described herein. In one aspect, an application or cloud service receives a request to cluster a set of records where the request identifies a first set of one or more dimensions to use for clustering and a second set of one or more dimensions to analyze for correlation patterns. Responsive to receiving the request to cluster the set of records, the system generates clusters based at least in part on variances in the first set of one or more dimensions, wherein each cluster includes at least one record from the set of records. The system may generate, for each respective cluster, an analytic result that identifies how strongly the second set of one or more dimensions correlate to the respective cluster. The system may present the clusters and analytic results for further processing.

Abstract: Techniques for determining information associated with sounds detected in an environment based on audio data and map data or perception data are discussed herein. A vehicle can use map data and/or perception data to distinguish between multiple audio signals or sounds. A direct source of sound can be distinguished from a reflected source of sound by determining a direction of arrival of sounds and which objects the directions of arrival are associated with in the environment. A reflected sound can be received without receiving a direct sound. Based on the reflected sound and map data or perception data, characteristics of sound in an occluded region of the environment may be determined and used to control the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently increasing semiconductor chip functionality in a particular area. A semiconductor fabrication process (or process) grows a silicon substrate layer, and forms multiple p-type and n-type transistors along a front side surface of the silicon substrate layer. The process flips the silicon substrate layer and removes silicon substrate leaving a particular thickness of the silicon substrate layer. The process forms multiple p-type and n-type transistors along the back side surface of the silicon substrate layer, and forms metal layers that connect terminals of the transistors formed along the back side surface to particular signals. The process forms through silicon vias (TSVs) that traverse through the silicon substrate layer. The process again flips the silicon substrate layer, and forms metal layers that connect terminals of the transistors formed along the front side surface to particular signals.
