  • Patent number: 11557307
    Abstract: Embodiments include techniques and objects related to a wearable audio device that includes a microphone to detect a plurality of sounds in an environment in which the wearable audio device is located. The wearable audio device further includes a non-acoustic sensor to detect that a user of the wearable audio device is speaking. The wearable audio device further includes one or more processors communicatively to alter, based on an identification by the non-acoustic sensor that the user of the wearable audio device is speaking, one or more of the plurality of sounds to generate a sound output. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

  • Patent number: 11126398
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an electronic device such a smart speaker. The electronic device may include a sensor to identify an environmental condition related to a location in which the electronic device is positioned. The electronic device may further include a processor to identify, based on a neural network, a sound-related parameter related to the environmental condition. The electronic device may further include a speaker to generate a sound based on the sound-related parameter. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

  • Patent number: 11048472
    Abstract: Embodiments may relate to a wearable audio device. The wearable audio device may be configured to generate a data related to a sound environment in which the wearable audio device is located, and transmit an indication of that data to a computing device that is located remote from the wearable audio device. The wearable audio device may further be able to receive an indication of an audio signal parameter that is based on the data, and generate an audio signal based on the audio parameter. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

  • Patent number: 7930148
    Abstract: Inclinometer and directional field sensor readings can have gain, offset, and non-orthogonality errors, as well as reference alignment rotation errors. When a series of readings are taken by a three axis sensor with a variety of different orientations, the resulting dataset looks like a perfect hypothetical sphere in the absence of any errors; with errors as mentioned above the dataset looks like an offset, rotated, ellipsoidal quadratic surface. This invention provides a simple method of removing the above errors from a tilt reference device. A disclosed algorithm is divided into two distinct components: the ellipsoidal quadratic surface component, which covers gain, offset, and axis misalignment; and the rotation component, which covers rotation relative to a set of reference axes. The solution presented here addresses both components combined, or separated and for inclinometers, magnetometers and rate sensors.

  • Patent number: 7826999
    Abstract: The instant invention utilizes two, optionally orthogonal and optionally slightly tilted, horizontal magnetic sensors and, optionally, a 2 or 3 axis accelerometer or inclinometer to calculate a pitch, roll and tilt compensated heading. A vertical, Z, component is relatively constant compared to X and Y components, the Z component can be abstracted from the X and Y sensor when pitch and roll is applied based on Z offset measured with X or Y sensor at high tilt angles. Additional sensors tilted at various ? degrees can be added with a different angle ? to X sensors when additional horizontal and magnetic coverage is desirable.
