Abstract: Techniques for noise cancelation include an automated method having the steps of: receiving signals from a plurality of microphones positioned within a microphone array outside a target area; identifying, from the received signals, a noise and position information for a source for the noise external to the target area before the noise reaches the target area; before the noise reaches the target area, determining a cancelation sound for the noise based on the noise and the position information; and playing the cancelation sound as the noise reaches the target area so as to significantly cancel the noise within the target area.

Abstract: In an exemplary method, a media service personalization system determines a first frequency response pattern based on frequency responses to a plurality of alternating current signal frequencies output to at least one external electrode of a remote control device, correlates the first frequency response pattern to a first personalized mode of operation, and directs a media service access device to operate in accordance with the first personalized mode of operation. In certain examples, the media service personalization system directs a frequency response determination facility of the remote control device to output the plurality of alternating current signal frequencies to the at least one external electrode of the remote control device and measure the frequency responses to the plurality of alternating current signal frequencies.

Abstract: Systems and methods of displaying content from a vehicle are described. A vehicle location module can determine a vehicle location of the vehicle. A vehicle detection module can detect whether another vehicle is behind the vehicle. The vehicle detection module, responsive to the detection, can identify a vehicle type of the other vehicle and can determine a relative velocity of the other vehicle. A vehicle accelerometer module can measure a vehicle acceleration of the vehicle. A content retrieval module executing on the computing system can access a content based on the vehicle location, the vehicle type, the relative velocity, and the vehicle acceleration. A content prioritization module can select content based on the vehicle location, the vehicle type, the relative velocity, and the vehicle acceleration. An electrophoretic display responsive to the selection can display the selected content.
