Abstract: A system may be configured to detect custom acoustic events, where the system generates an acoustic event profile for the custom acoustic event based on a natural language description provided by a user and using an audio sample of the described acoustic event. For example, the user may describe the custom acoustic event as “dog bark.” The system may ask the user questions to refine the description (e.g., dog breed, dog gender, age, etc.). Using an audio sample of the refined description, the system may then determine that audio captured in the user's environment is a potential sample of the custom acoustic event. Such captured audio may be presented to the user for confirmation, and then may be used to detect future occurrences of the custom acoustic event in the user's environment.

Abstract: A soldering apparatus and a soldering method using the same are provided. The soldering apparatus includes a light source configured to supply light radiation required for soldering; and a mask disposed on the light path of the light source and including a light-shielding portion and multiple light-transmissive portions.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting certain acoustic events from audio data are described. A system may perform event aggregation for certain types of events before sending an output to a device representing the event is detected.

In such cases, the system may send an output to the device when the event is detected. The system may be used to detect acoustic events representing presence of a person or other harmful circumstances (such as, fire, smoke, etc.) in a home, an office, a store, or other types of indoor settings.
