Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to determine a location of an audio source are disclosed. Disclosed example apparatus are to determine respective error values for corresponding ones of a first dataset of time difference of arrival (TDOA) distance values between pairs of acoustic sensors, the error values based on a cost function, a first set of constraints and a second set of constraints. Disclosed example apparatus are also to adjust the corresponding ones of the first dataset of TDOA distance values based on the respective error values to determine a second dataset of TDOA distance values. Disclosed example apparatus are further to output the second dataset of TDOA distance values to source location circuitry that is to determine the location of the audio source.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of controlling data flow over a communication network. For example, an apparatus may include a communication unit to communicate between first and second devices a transfer response, the transfer response in response to a transfer request, the transfer response including a transfer pending status indicating data is pending to be received at the second device, the communication unit is to communicate the transfer response regardless of whether a retry indicator of the transfer request represents a first request for transfer or a retried request.
