  • Publication number: 20240129662
    Abstract: A handheld image stabilization device with a housing, a gimbal, a motor, a printed circuit board (PCB), a microphone, and a dampener. The gimbal has three arms. The motor assembly has multiple motors such that respective ones of the multiple motors are located on respective ones of the three arms. The microphone is attached to a surface of the PCB and configured to detect audio waves, wherein the audio waves include acoustic noise from the motor assembly. The dampener is disposed between the motor assembly and the PCB, wherein the dampener is configured to reduce the acoustic noise from the motor assembly.

  • Patent number: 11856361
    Abstract: A handheld image stabilization device or an image capture device includes a housing, a motor, a microphone, and a dampener. The housing includes a first port. The motor is attached to the housing. The microphone detects audio waves via the first port and vibration noise of the motor via the housing. The audio waves may include acoustic noise from the motor. The dampener is coupled to the housing. The dampener reduces the acoustic noise from the motor and the vibration noise from the motor.

  • Patent number: 11688409
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing a plurality of audio signals. A device receives the plurality of audio signals in the frequency domain and determining an overall attenuation multiplier based on the plurality of audio signals and an overall lookup table that relates decibel values to different overall attenuation multipliers. The device determines an attenuation vector comprising a plurality of bin-specific attenuation multipliers, each bin-specific attenuation multiplier respectively corresponding to a different frequency bin of the plurality of frequency bins. The device scales each bin-specific attenuation value in the attenuation vector with the overall attenuation multiplier, and edits each of the audio signals based on the scaled bin-specific attenuation values in the attenuation vector.
