  • Publication number: 20160044251
    Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to a camera to capture multiple sub-images for the generation of an image. An embodiment of a camera assembly includes one or more lenses to transmit light from a scene, and an image sensor to simultaneously capture a plurality of sub-images of the scene via the one or more lenses, the plurality of sub-images including a first sub-image and a second sub-image. A processing element is to process the sub-images sensed by the image sensor, the processing of the sub-images includes combining at least the first sub-image and the second sub-image to generate a combined image of the scene.

  • Publication number: 20160034033
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention utilize one or more vibration elements to enhance the audio output of a computing device. These vibration element(s) may comprise any conventional vibrating element including a mass element (i.e., counterweight) electrically driven via an actuator to produce the vibrations. The size of the mass element/counterweight may be selected based on the desired strength and frequency for the vibration components (i.e., lower frequencies may utilized larger/heavier mechanisms). Computing devices may process audio data and separately output some of the data for speakers (higher frequency data), and some of the data for vibration elements (lower frequency data). The surface where the device is placed creates a sounding board structure and the vibration elements generate the sensation of physical motion at low, sub-bass and sub-audio frequencies. This physical motion may be perceived by the user as low-frequency audio data, thereby enhancing the audio output of the speakers.
