Abstract: A web-based virtual meeting platform with echo suppression functionality that is hardware agnostic. The platform is configured in a client-server distributed architecture, wherein a plurality of user devices are connected to a server. A baseline for audio generated by a user device on the client-side of the client-server platform is established. Upon detection of a deviation from the baseline, including electro acoustic feedback and ambient noise, suppressive gain is applied to the audio input at the client-side of the client-server architecture. The suppressed audio stream is then transmitted to a cloud server and distributed to a plurality of user devices connected to the cloud service. The platform is accessible via an internet browser and is non-discriminatory as to the hardware of the device used to access the platform. Further, the platform does not distribute data in a peer-to-peer architecture.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing system generally comprising a dispensing nozzle coupled to a supply conduit; the dispensing nozzle detachably connected to a receiver; a receiver identification device associated with the receiver; an electrical identification circuit being contact-based and including the receiver identification device; an electronics module connected to the supply conduit and arranged to communicate with the electrical identification circuit whereby connection of the dispensing nozzle to the receiver completes the electrical identification circuit and permits communication of at least a unique receiver identifier associated with the receiver identification device to the electronics module.

Abstract: A current mirror multi-channel leakage monitor circuit and method measures die leakage and generates digital keeper control bits to control a process compensated dynamic circuit. The leakage monitor enables high resolution on-chip leakage measurements in multiple locations on a die, thereby saving test time and enabling both die to die and within die process compensation.
