  • Patent number: 9894438
    Abstract: An audio system having low latency includes a digital audio processor as well as sensor inputs coupled to the processor. The sensor inputs may be microphone inputs. The audio processor operates at the same frequency as the sensor inputs, which is typically much higher than an audio signal provided to the audio processor. In some aspects the audio processor operates as a noise cancellation processor and does not include an audio input.

  • Publication number: 20180035383
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for identifying at least one alternate power source to provide power to a portable device during an upcoming time period of use. The method includes monitoring power parameters associated with at least one battery of the portable device and determining, based on the power parameters, whether the at least one battery that is currently coupled to the portable device is capable of powering the portable device for an entirety of an upcoming time period of use. In response to determining the at least one battery is not capable of powering the portable device for the entirety of the upcoming time period of use, identifying at least one alternate power source that may provide power for use during the upcoming time period of use. The method then includes generating and outputting a power management strategy, which utilizes the at least one alternate power source.

  • Patent number: 9866820
    Abstract: An electronic device can have two or more pairs of cameras capable of performing three-dimensional imaging. In order to provide accurate disparity information, these cameras should be sufficiently calibrated. Automatic calibration can be performed by periodically capturing images with a pair of front-facing cameras and locating matching facial or other feature points in corresponding images captured by those cameras. Correspondences can be detected between feature points and the corresponding feature points can be normalized and outlier feature points can be rejected. A transformation matrix can be determined using at least a portion of remaining feature points and can be used to determine rotation and translation parameters to correct for misalignment between the cameras. The calibration parameters can be refined or otherwise adjusted, and can be used or stored for use in correcting images subsequently captured by those cameras.

  • Patent number: 9860160
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for multipath switching using per-hop virtual local area network (VLAN) remapping is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a data packet is forwarded for transmission over one of a first port and a second port. The device identifies a VLAN ID of the data packet as a second VLAN ID and changes the second VLAN ID to a first VLAN ID. Then one or more criteria of a classification set entry for forwarding the data packet over the second port are evaluated. The data packet is forwarded over the second port if the criteria are met and the data packet is associated with the second VLAN ID. Alternatively, the data packet is forwarded over the first port and is associated with the first VLAN ID if a dynamic entry specifies the data packet is to be forwarded over the first port.

  • Publication number: 20170372279
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for improving the capacity, speed, confidence, and efficiency of processing systems for processing resources instruments by utilizing predictive determination of resource instrument information from one or more resource instruments. As such, while processing resource instruments, instead of capturing all of the resource instrument information from the resource instruments, the present invention utilizes predictive determination of the resource instrument information in order to reduce the processing capacity needed, the processing run-times, processing errors, and unnecessary processing depending on the resource instruments and/or resource processing channels being used.

  • Publication number: 20170364406
    Abstract: A security patch tool includes a retrieval engine, a parser, and a reporting engine. The retrieval engine retrieves, from a first database, a log indicating a plurality of patches that have been applied and whether each patch of the plurality of patches was applied successfully. The parser determines, based on the log, a second plurality of patches of the plurality of patches that were not applied successfully and determines, based on the log, an error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches. The retrieval engine further retrieves, from a second database, a remedy for each error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches. The reporting engine generates a report indicating the plurality of patches, the error code for each patch of the second plurality of patches, and the remedy for each error code for each path of the second plurality of patches.

  • Patent number: 9843673
    Abstract: Different call managing techniques are described for both voice calls and video calls. A call management system detects that a user is on an active call. The call management system detects that the user has continued to speak when the call was disconnected, as by another user terminating the call or poor network conditions. When the call management system detects a disconnected call, it records the spoken speech into a buffer and determines which portion of the user's speech was not processed and communicated to the other user. The user whose call was terminated is provided with an option to provide the un-communicated speech to the other user. Options can include sending a text version of the un-communicated speech to the other user or sending a voice file to the other user.
