Abstract: An LED device and a bracket thereof. The bracket includes a first photo-etched metal part, composed of a first electrode and a chip placement layer stacked thereon, wherein an area of the chip placement layer is greater than an area of the first electrode; a second photo-etched metal part, composed of a second electrode and a connection layer stacked thereon; wherein a first insulation trench is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a second insulation trench is provided between the chip placement layer and the connection layer. The LED device and the bracket thereof can increase the placement area for placing LED chips, thereby improving the luminance of the LED device.

Abstract: A system is provided for positional based automatic gain control to adjust one or more dynamically configured combined microphone array in a shared 3D space. The system includes a combined microphone array including one or more of individual microphones and/or microphone arrays and a system processor communicating with the combined microphone array.

Abstract: A system for automatically dynamically forming a virtual microphone coverage map using a combined microphone array in a shared 3D space is provided. The system includes a combined microphone array comprising a plurality of microphones and a system processor communicating with the combined microphone array. The microphones in the combined microphone array are arranged along various microphone arrangements. The system processor is configured to perform operations including obtaining locations of the microphones within the combined microphone array throughout the shared 3D space, generating coverage zone dimensions based on the locations of the microphones, and populating the coverage zone dimensions with virtual microphones.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer-readable media to manage undesired sound sources in microphone pickup/focus zones preferably mitigates one or more of the undesired sound source(s) in a space having a plurality of microphones and at least one desired sound source. Preferably, at least one microphone input receives plural microphone input signals from the plurality of microphones in the space. Preferably, the least one processor is coupled to the at least one microphone input and receives the plural microphone input signals. Preferably, the at least one processor determines plural micro-zones in the space. Preferably, the at least one processor determines a threshold sound field level for each micro-zone based on received plural microphone input signals that correspond to the one or more undesired sound source(s). Preferably, the at least one processor recognizes a desired sound source when received plural microphone input signals exceed one or more threshold sound field level.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for dynamic sound mask adjustment. A sound mask is used for obtaining an impulse response measurement that adjusts a generated sound mask dynamically based on real-time ambient noise parameters, while maintaining echo canceller calibration performance. The system includes a dynamic sound mask generator that includes a noise accumulator and monitor that includes a processor and memory including instructions executed by the processor for performing the dynamic sound mask adjustment. If the sound mask is not in the hysteresis range, the current sound mask level and iteration update rate are adjusted. if the sound mask is in the hysteresis range, the current sound mask level and iteration update rate are maintained.
