Abstract: A automatic variable frequency electrolarynx with a microcontroller that generates a random but controlled frequency that creates a random tone. The controlled random tone allows the user of the electrolarynx to use the device without the monotone of standard electrolarynx. The electrolarynx also includes an encoder that allows the user to easily adjust the base tone of the device. The electrolarynx also includes an integrated LED light in the on/off switch to indicate whether the encoder is in volume control or tone control mode. The microcontroller also conducts an automatic power source check, and produces a musical tone when the battery is low.

Abstract: An orientation based, aspect-ratio switching video playback system selects from multiple video streams having corresponding content to automatically match the orientation of the device and play a version of the video filmed, produced and formatted for that orientation. Orientation changes may occur at any time during playback. When an orientation change is detected, the video playback system stores the current playback time, switches to the video stream optimized for the new orientation, and resumes playback from the stored playback time. Switching may be performed automatically and seamlessly to enable the viewer to continue watching the video in the new orientation, at the optimal aspect ratio for such orientation, using the full screen area without clipping any video content, and without interruption.
