  • Publication number: 20140247368
    Abstract: Technologies relating to “ready click” camera control are disclosed. Camera devices may be equipped with a camera, a microphone, a processor, a memory, and a camera control system stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The camera control system may be configured to provide any of a variety of voice-interactive features, such as a voice-activated shutter, a voice-activated timer, a voice-activated flash, a voice-activated focus setting, a voice-activated ISO setting, a voice-activated scene setting, and/or a variety of other features, including both voice-interactive as well as other features described herein.

  • Patent number: 8729981
    Abstract: Precision delay line instruments according to this disclosure may include a plurality of controller activatable delay loops of different delay length design values, and a controller configured to apply a selected delay setting by activating delay loops corresponding to the selected delay setting. The delay length design values may comprise a first set of delay lengths according to a first set of binary step values, and a second set of delay lengths according to a second set of binary step values that is offset from the first set of binary step values. Delay loops corresponding to selected delay settings may be identified in an operating data structure comprising best-fit matched combinations of delay loops that produce more accurate signal delays than one or more other combinations of delay loops.

  • Publication number: 20120286898
    Abstract: Precision delay line instruments and methods for manufacturing precision delay line instruments are described.
