Abstract: A live audio bite system may capture audio bites of a live event based on input from a spectator's device. The system may include an audience device, a server, and a recording device. The audience device may provide input of when an audio capture is desired. The recording device may record audio directly from an audio source on a circular buffer. The server may facilitate communication between audience devices and recording devices and store requested audio clips.

Abstract: A method may include receiving a reading from a pressure sensor disposed within an object in contact with a body of a user, where the pressure sensor includes a force sensitive resistor (FSR) in series with a constant resistor. The object may host a transducer that is configured to provide vibrotactile sensations to the body of the user. The method may also include, using the reading from the pressure sensor, computing an amount of pressure exerted on the object by the body of the user. The method may additionally include comparing the amount of pressure to a pressure threshold data structure to determine a transducer system state associated with the transducer. The method may also include performing equalization processing on an output signal used by the transducer, where the equalization processing is specific to the transducer system state.

Abstract: A method may include monitoring a sensor associated with a first location of an automobile seat, where the first location corresponds to a first transducer embedded within the automobile seat, and the automobile seat includes a second transducer at a second location within the automobile seat. The first and the second transducers may be configured to generate tactile feedback upon receiving an activating signal. The method may also include detecting an event triggering the activating signal to be sent to the first transducer, and based on a reading from the sensor indicating that an occupant of the automobile seat is not in contact with the first location, modifying the activating signal such that the first transducer primarily produces an audible sound rather than tactile feedback.
