Abstract: The disclosed computing device may include electronic components, at least one of which is a processor. The computing device may also include a heat sink thermally coupled to the electronic components, as well as a temperature sensor that determines the current temperature inside the computing device. The computing device may further include a controller. The processor may generate a load schedule for the electronic components based on the current temperature inside the computing device. This load schedule ensures that a maximum temperature for the heat sink is not exceeded even when the total system power load exceeds, for a short period of time, the maximum sustainable power level the heat sink can dissipate. The controller may then load the electronic components according to the generated load schedule. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: In some examples, a conferencing system includes a modular electronic device having a device housing configured to removably couple to each of a plurality of speaker modules; amplifier circuitry disposed within the device housing, wherein the amplifier circuitry is configured to amplify audio signals for output to a speaker module of the plurality of speaker modules while the electronic device is coupled to the speaker module; and processing circuitry disposed within the device housing, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to: determine one or more parameters associated with the speaker module after the device housing is coupled to the speaker module; and determine, based on the one or more parameters associated with the speaker module, a set of corresponding audio-configuration settings for processing audio during operation of the conferencing system.

Abstract: The disclosed camera system may include a primary camera and a plurality of secondary cameras that each have a maximum horizontal FOV that is less than a maximum horizontal FOV of the primary camera. Two of the plurality of secondary cameras may be positioned such that their maximum horizontal FOVs overlap in an overlapped horizontal FOV and the overlapped horizontal FOV may be at least as large as a minimum horizontal FOV of the primary camera.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system that includes a computing device, a presentation system, and a hardware module disposed between the computing device and the presentation system. The hardware module and the computing device each may be configured to exchange a signal that includes media data and emulated input/output (“I/O”) data, audio/visual data (“A/V”); the hardware module may also be configured to supply power to the computing device. The signal and the supplied power may be communicated between the hardware module and the computing device over a single cable.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for generating match data for a symbol in a symbol history for use in a hardware-based data compressor. An apparatus for performing history matching for Lempel-Ziv (“LZ”) compression includes a symbol history RAM comprising 2S N bit entries, each entry corresponding to a symbol value represented by S bits and indicating locations within the last N symbols of input data where the symbol value occurred; a symbol counter array comprising 2S counters, each counter corresponding to a symbol value and indicating a number of symbols processed since the last occurrence of the symbol value in the input data; and a barrel shifter configured to shift the entry corresponding to an input symbol value left by a number of bits based on a value of the counter corresponding to the input symbol value to produce a symbol match vector for the input symbol.
