  • Patent number: 11962968
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a noise cancellation apparatus and method. The noise cancellation apparatus includes a main control unit and a noise cancellation processing circuit. The main control unit determines a noise cancellation parameter based on a noise cancellation level index or a feature value for determining a matching degree between a headset and an ear canal of a user. The noise cancellation processing unit obtains an inverse phase noise of an ambient noise based on the noise cancellation parameter. After the inverse phase noise is mixed with a played downlink audio signal, the ambient noise can be canceled. In addition, because the noise cancellation parameter is determined from a preset noise cancellation parameter library based on the received or autonomously determined noise cancellation level index, instead of being uniformly configured, a noise cancellation level can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving a noise cancellation effect and user experience.

  • Publication number: 20230417987
    Abstract: Technologies for expanded beam optical connectors are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a lens array attached to a substrate includes several lenses aligned to optical fibers positioned in grooves in the substrate. The lens array also includes optical fiducials, such as opaque optical fiducials. Auxiliary optical fibers are aligned to the optical fiducials. Light can be sent through the auxiliary optical fibers and onto the optical fiducials, and a pattern of light can be detected after the optical fiducials. The pattern of light can be used to determine a position and/or orientation error of the lens array.
