  • Patent number: 10433087
    Abstract: A method for reducing vibration noise by an electronic device is described. The method includes obtaining an audio signal. The audio signal includes vibration noise. The method also includes obtaining vibration data from one or more motion sensor signals. The method further includes processing the vibration data to produce microphone-response matched vibration data based on a transfer function. The method additionally includes reducing the vibration noise based on the microphone-response matched vibration data.

  • Publication number: 20180109145
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for power dissipation control for a wireless power receiver. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a wireless power receiver. The wireless power receiver includes a resonator including an inductor and a capacitor. The resonator is configured to couple to a wireless field. The wireless field induces a voltage in the resonator. The capacitor is coupled to the inductor. The capacitor is configured to at least one of shunt tune or series tune the resonator. The wireless power receiver further includes a control circuit configured to at least one of selectively couple the capacitor to the inductor or adjust a capacitance of the capacitor based on at least one of a temperature near the wireless power receiver or an electrical characteristic of a thermally conductive path between the wireless power receiver and a surrounding thermal environment.

  • Publication number: 20170008332
    Abstract: There is provided a reversible ink-stylus assembly that includes an ink cartridge assembly. The ink cartridge assembly includes an ink cartridge and an ink tip, where the ink tip is attached to a first end of the ink cartridge. The reversible ink-stylus assembly also includes a stylus tip having a plurality of ribs along a longitudinal axis of the reversible ink-stylus assembly. The stylus tip is attached to a second end of the ink cartridge, and the ink cartridge assembly is insertable into a longitudinal cylindrical opening of a writing device.

  • Patent number: 6913338
    Abstract: A wet-wiping printhead cleaning system for inkjet printer incorporating a wiper for wiping the printhead including a treatment fluid applicator configured for placing treatment fluid onto at least one element of the printhead and wiper elements involved in wiping the printhead orifice plate surface, the treatment fluid being placed on said at least one element by direct contact of the applicator, subsequently the wiper wipes the printhead, the treatment being available to enhance cleaning effectiveness, the treatment fluid lubricating the wiper so as to lengthen wiper service life and enhance wiping performance, as well as acting to render unwanted accumulations on the printhead more removable by wiping.

  • Patent number: 5907335
    Abstract: A wet-wiping printhead cleaning system including a treatment fluid applicator placing treatment fluid on at least one of two elements involved in wiping, said two elements being a printhead orifice plate surface and a wiper, the system being so configured that treatment fluid is applied before wiping the printhead by projecting treatment fluid onto at least one element through the atmosphere, thereby avoiding direct contact between the applicator and said one element, the treatment fluid being placed so as to be available to assist in wiping a portion of the printhead orifice plate where the nozzle orifices are located to remove debris that may have accumulated, the treatment fluid lubricating the wiper so as to lengthen wiper service life and enhance wiping performance, as well as acting to render such accumulations more removable by wiping, the source of treatment fluid being uncontaminated by contact with either the printhead or the wiper.
