Abstract: Described are computer implemented techniques for simulating elements of a fluid flow. These techniques include storing in a memory state vectors for a plurality of voxels, the state vectors comprising a plurality of entries that correspond to particular momentum states of a plurality of possible momentum states at a voxel, storing in a memory a representation of at least one surface that is sized and oriented independently of the size and orientation of the voxels, perform interaction operations on the state vectors, the interaction operations modelling interactions between elements of different momentum states, perform surface interaction operations on the representation of the surface, the surface interaction operations modelling interactions between the surface and substantially all elements of voxels, and performing move operations on the state vectors to reflect movement of elements to new voxels.

Abstract: An audio appliance includes a microphone transducer having an acoustically sensitive region to convert incident acoustic energy to a corresponding output signal and a barometric transducer having a pressure-responsive region to convert an ambient pressure to a corresponding output signal. The audio appliance also has an acoustic housing defining a chamber to fluidly couple the microphone transducer with the barometric transducer, together with a processor and a memory containing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the audio appliance to determine a presence or an absence of an ambient impairment to the microphone transducer based at least in part on the output signal from the barometric transducer. Responsive to a determined presence of an ambient impairment to the microphone transducer, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the audio appliance to mitigate effects of the ambient impairment.
