  • Patent number: 10430982
    Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media (transitory and non-transitory) are described that receive a plurality of sensor data values and a plurality of location data values corresponding to the sensor data values, may generate interpolated data values for a surveyed area, and may generate an image corresponding to the surveyed area based at least in part on the sensor data values and the interpolated data values. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9736580
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for scene analysis including the use of acoustic imaging and computer audio vision processes for monitoring applications. In some embodiments, an acoustic image device is utilized with a microphone array, image sensor, acoustic image controller, and a controller. In some cases, the controller analyzes at least a portion of the spatial spectrum within the acoustic image data to detect sound variations by identifying regions of pixels having intensities exceeding a particular threshold. In addition, the controller can detect two or more co-occurring sound events based on the relative distance between pixels with intensities exceeding the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20160073530
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a segmented device system. The segmented device system includes a plurality of modules. Each module incorporates a sub-system which provides a unique function (or set of functions). The segmented device includes a set of flexible interconnections which transfer power and data between adjacent modules. A segmented device consistent with the present disclosure can flex, bend, and wrap around a mounting structure. The segmented device allows for the expansion and rapid replacement of any segments. In addition, such extensibility and ability to shorten or contract the device enables the device to fit optimally on that which the device is mounted.
