Abstract: An audio system receives sounds from a local area with a set of sensors. The audio system analyzes the sounds to identify an amount of background noise in the environment. The audio system may also identify target sound in the environment, such as voice from a nearby speaker, to reinforce. The amount of background noise is then used to adaptively set a level of reinforcement for the target sound. In low-noise environments, the target sound may be minimally, or not reinforced, while in high-noise environments a reinforcement sound signal may be generated with the target sound so that a transducer array may generate reinforcing sounds for the target sound and increase its contrast with the noise in the environment. By applying the reinforcement dynamically, the system automatically adjusts for different sounds and environments.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for reduced power composition during data read operations from memory devices through gating of clock signals based on a bit pattern of data to be read from the memory device. Example devices and methods disclosed herein comprise receiving a command to read data from a memory structure of the memory device and latching a bit pattern of the data from the memory structure to a data register based on the received command. The disclose systems and methods use the bit pattern to generate a clock mask according to similarities between bit values within the bit pattern. When a read enable signal is detected on a read enable interface of the embodiments disclosed herein, the clock mask is gated based on the clock mask, and bit values are latched to an input/output interface of the memory device in accordance with the gated read enable signal.
