Abstract: Some implementations involve determining a noise metric and/or a speech intelligibility metric and determining a compensation process corresponding to the noise metric and/or the speech intelligibility metric. The compensation process may involve altering a processing of audio data and/or applying a non-audio-based compensation method. In some examples, altering the processing of the audio data does not involve applying a broadband gain increase to the audio signals. Some examples involve applying the compensation process in an audio environment. Other examples involve determining compensation metadata corresponding to the compensation process and transmitting an encoded content stream that includes encoded compensation metadata, encoded video data and encoded audio data from a first device to one or more other devices.

Abstract: In a method of warning of a hazardous electrical condition at a dock with wiring coupled to a voltage source via a dock breaker, an electric voltage between a ground and at least one of the dock frame or the water is detected. A plurality of voltage values of the electric voltage is stored. When at least two successive voltage values of the plurality voltage values exceeds a baseline safe voltage by a preset margin, then a shock warning signal is asserted, a dock breaker is opened and a shock warning indication is transmitted to a remote unit via a communication chipset. When at a voltage is sensed in the dock wiring system after the dock breaker has been opened, then a faulty dock breaker warning indication is transmitted to the remote unit via the communication chipset.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing content related to electronic calendar events are presented. An electronic calendar event library may be maintained. One or more calendar events that meet threshold time criteria in relation to a current time may be identified. One or more rules may be applied to the identified events to determine whether contextual information and/or actions should be surfaced in relation to those events. In some examples, an event priority score may be calculated for each of the identified events. Contextual information and/or actions associated with events with event priority scores that exceed a threshold value may be surfaced. The contextual information and/or actions may be prioritized based on the event priority scores.
