Abstract: A multimedia system and a multimedia operation method are provided. The multimedia system includes a signal encoder, a screen, multiple loudspeakers, a processor, and an amplifier circuit. The signal encoder encodes an image signal, an audio signal, and an audio enhancement signal to provide a multimedia signal. The image signal is divided into multiple regional image signals based on multiple display regions. The audio signal includes multiple regional audio signals corresponding to the regional image signals. The processor extracts the image signal, the regional audio signals, and the audio enhancement signal from the multimedia signal and controls the screen to display the image signal. The amplifier circuit adjusts the regional audio signals in response to the audio enhancement signal and provides the adjusted regional audio signals to the loudspeakers.

Abstract: Two types of blue light blocking contact lenses are provided and are formed by curing different compositions. The first composition includes a blue light blocking component formed by mixing or reacting a first hydrophilic monomer and a yellow dye, a first colored dye component formed by mixing or reacting a second hydrophilic monomer and a first colored dye, at least one third hydrophilic monomer, a crosslinker, and an initiator. The first colored dye includes a green dye, a cyan dye, a blue dye, an orange dye, a red dye, a black dye, or combinations thereof. The second composition includes a blue light blocking component, at least one hydrophilic monomer, a crosslinker, and an initiator. The blue light blocking component is formed by mixing or reacting glycerol monomethacrylate and a yellow dye. Further, methods for preparing the above contact lenses are provided.

Abstract: A processing apparatus and a processing method of a sound signal are provided. In the method, the sound signal is received. A respirator type is identified. The sound signal is modified according to the respirator type. The respirator type is a type of a respirator corresponding to the sound signal. Accordingly, the distortion may be corrected and the accuracy of voice identification may be improved.

Abstract: A microphone apparatus is provided. The microphone apparatus includes a microphone array and an integrated circuit. The microphone array includes at least three microphones arranged in a straight line with a non-uniform configuration. The integrated circuit is electrically connected to the microphone array. The integrated circuit is configured to process a merged sound signal from different combinations of microphones using a time-domain filter to generate an output sound signal. The sound gain of the output sound signal at each sound-receiving angle of each frequency is substantially uniform.
