Abstract: Various implementations include audio systems and methods for mixed rendering to enhance audio output. Certain implementations include an audio system having: at least one far-field speaker configured to output a first portion of an audio signal; and a pair of non-occluding near-field speakers configured to output a second portion of the audio signal in synchrony with the output of the first portion of the audio signal, where the second portion of the audio signal increases intelligibility of the speech content within the audio signal.

Abstract: An image sensor includes an array of pixels on a semiconductor device for sensing light incident on the pixel array and a plurality of anomaly registers comprising a plurality of nonvolatile elements. Each anomaly register identifies an anomalous pixel cluster and includes a location indicator with a row and column address and a size indicator with a horizontal and vertical range. In other embodiments, each anomaly register includes a first address, second address, first direction flag, and second direction flag. The first and second direction flags use a first state to indicate a row address or a second state to indicate a column address. The first and second direction flags combine to define an anomalous pixel cluster, a pair of anomalous pixel rows, or a pair of anomalous pixel columns. Some embodiments may include an anomaly type indicator and some embodiments may include a shape indicator.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of mapping a property of a three dimensional object. The method comprises the steps of mapping the property for at least a portion of the object, providing a line or region which defines intersections with part of the mapped portion, and displaying the property for the intersections. The present invention also provides another method of mapping a property of an object. The method comprises the steps of mapping the property for a slice within the object, providing a line within the slice, and displaying the property for the line.
