  • Publication number: 20210127213
    Abstract: A microphone assembly includes an acoustic filter with a first highpass cut-off frequency. The microphone assembly additionally includes a forward signal path and a feedback signal path. The forward signal path is configured to amplify or buffer an electrical signal generated by a transducer in response to sound and to convert the electrical signal to a digital signal. The feedback signal path is configured to generate a digital control signal based on the digital signal and to generate and output a sequence of variable current pulses based on the digital control signal. The variable current pulses suppress frequencies of the electrical signal below a second highpass cut-off frequency, higher than the first highpass cut-off frequency.

  • Patent number: 10992650
    Abstract: The techniques described herein enable a user that sends an email message that includes encrypted content to define a time period during which a recipient of the encrypted content has decrypted access rights. To effectively define the time period, the user can set a time at which the decrypted access rights for the recipient expire. The time occurs after a time at which the email message is sent to the recipient. Upon expiration of the time period, the decrypted access rights to the encrypted content is revoked for the recipient of the email message, thereby providing a proactive element of security for confidential and/or sensitive information. Further, the techniques enable a user to revoke decrypted access rights to the encrypted content for a recipients at any given time after the email message has already been sent, thereby adding a reactive element of security for confidential and/or sensitive information.

  • Patent number: 10992379
    Abstract: A free space optical communication system transmits and receives optical signals in a colorless manner using an optical circulator. The system installs the optical circulator with a single mode (SM) fiber at port 1, a double clad (DC) fiber at port 2, and a multimode (MM) fiber at port 3. The system injects a first optical signal into a core of the SM fiber. The system then routes the first optical signal at port 1, using the optical circulator, into a SM core of the DC fiber via Port 2. Further, the system injects a second optical signal into a first cladding of the DC fiber. The system then routes the second optical signal at port 2, using the optical circulator, into the MM fiber via Port 3.
