  • Publication number: 20200028883
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for enhanced teleconferencing are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes monitoring, by a processing device, a teleconference having a plurality of participants, a plurality of participant devices being used to facilitate the teleconference, each of the plurality of participants being associated with one of the plurality of participant devices. The method further includes detecting, by the processing device, a trigger event associated with one of the plurality of participants. The method further includes, responsive to detecting the trigger event associated with the one of the plurality of participants, disabling a mute setting for one of the plurality of participant devices that is associated with the one of the plurality of participants.

The method further includes detecting, by the processing device, a low volume of a channel associated with one of the plurality of participant devices. The method further includes, responsive to detecting the low volume associated with the one of the plurality of participants, amplifying, by the processing device, the channel to increase volume without amplifying other channels associated with other of the plurality of participant devices.

  • Patent number: 6520026
    Abstract: A method for making and testing the thermal compression bond between a wire and a contact or terminal lead of a connector wherein the wire and contact/terminal lead are positioned between opposing electrodes, and a direct current is passed through the electrodes, wire and contact/terminal lead to make a direct attach thermocompression bond. Sample bonds are subjected to a peel test to determine if the thermocompression bonds are within specification. The peel test includes securing the contact/terminal lead, bend the wire 90 degrees from the contact/terminal lead, and applying force to the wire at a constant rate of pull until thermocompression bond is broken and the wire is separated from the contact/terminal lead. The peel force required to break the bond is then compared to a standard to determine if the thermocompression bonds are within determined specifications. Additionally, an axial pull test may also be performed.
