  • Publication number: 20240089653
    Abstract: An image capture device reduces noise floor using multiple microphones. The image capture device includes a processor that obtains a front microphone signal from a front microphone, the front microphone signal having a noisy noise floor portion, obtains a rear microphone signal from a rear microphone, sets a splice point based on mitigation of the noisy noise floor portion relative to a speech frequency range, and combines a substantially clean noise floor portion of the rear microphone signal at or below the splice point with a remaining portion of the front microphone signal above the splice point to generate a microphone signal.

  • Patent number: 11907386
    Abstract: A platform root-of-trust system includes a System Control Processor (SCP) subsystem coupled to a central processing subsystem, a BIOS subsystem, and an I/O device. In response to an initialization instruction, the SCP subsystem begins initialization operations prior to the beginning of initialization operations for the central processing subsystem, the BIOS subsystem, and the I/O device. As part of SCP initialization operations, the SCP subsystem validates SCP subsystem initialization information to provide validated SCP subsystem initialization information, and uses the validated SCP subsystem initialization information to complete the SCP initialization operations.
