Abstract: An electronic device displays an image during a communication between two people. The image represents one of the people to the communication. The electronic device determines a location where to place the image and displays the image such that the image appears to exist at the location. In response to detecting a change in location and/or orientation of a user of the electronic device, the electronic device updates an appearance of the image to face toward the user of the electronic device.

Abstract: During an electronic call between two individuals, a sound localization point simulates a location in empty space from where an origin of a voice of one individual occurs for the other individual.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus assist listeners in distinguishing between electronically generated binaural sound and physical environment sound while the listener wears a wearable electronic device that provides the binaural sound to the listener. The wearable electronic device generates a visual alert or audio alert when the electronically generated binaural sound occurs.

Abstract: A device for measuring conductivity of a fluid. The device including a chamber and at least two electrodes. The chamber includes an inlet, an outlet, an upper surface, and a lower surface that runs separate from the upper surface. The fluid enters the chamber through the inlet and flows out of the chamber through the outlet. Moving along a length of the chamber from the inlet to the outlet or from the outlet to the inlet, a distance between the upper surface and the lower surface changes in at least one dimension of the chamber. The two electrodes are configured to measure electrical voltage in the fluid that enters the chamber through the inlet and flows out of the chamber through the outlet.

Abstract: A method, system and devices are disclosed providing a first layer, the first layer including a first device region and a second device region, and a second layer including an interconnection die, the interconnection die including an interface logic. The first device region and the second device region are mounted on a first side of the interconnection die, and the first device region and the second device region are communicatively coupled to the interface logic.

Abstract: An electronic device receives, from a user, a restriction that restricts how sound of a digital asset plays to non-owners of the digital asset that is tokenized as a non-fungible token (NFT). One or more electronic devices tokenize the digital asset as the NFT on a blockchain that stores the restriction how the sound of the digital asset plays to the non-owners of the NFT.

Abstract: A method provides binaural sound to a person through electronic earphones. The binaural sound localizes to a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space that is away from but proximate to the person. When an event occurs, the binaural sound switches or changes to stereo sound, to mono sound, or to altered binaural sound.

Abstract: An electronic device identifies a location of a physical object that is away from a listener. The electronic device convolves sound so the sound externally localizes as binaural sound to the physical object. The sound plays to the listener through earphones so the listener hears the sound as emanating from the physical object.

Abstract: An electronic device determines information about a target and provides the information to another electronic device that has an obstructed view of the target. The other electronic device displays an image of the target with an orientation and a location of the target.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide digital media with spatial audio to a blockchain. The blockchain network executes a decentralized application (Dapp) with a user interface (UI) that enables a user to select audio for spatialization and uploading to the blockchain. The spatial audio transmits to the blockchain network to reduce processing and transmission of network data.

Abstract: A method processes binaural sound to externally localize to a first user at a first location. This location is shared such that an electronic device processes the binaural sound to externally localize to a second user at a second location. The first and second locations occur at a same or similar location such that the first and second users hear the binaural sound as originating from the same or similar location.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a user displays a graphical representation having an appearance in response to sound of the graphical representation playing as mono sound or stereo sound. The appearance of the graphical representation being displayed alters in response to the sound of the graphical representation playing as binaural sound.

Abstract: A method or apparatus provides binaural sound that originates to a person at a location inside a field of view (FOV) provided to the person by an electronic device. The electronic device determines when the location of the binaural sound moves outside the FOV and assists the person in determining the location of the binaural sound. A display of the electronic device displays a visual indication that shows a direction to the location of the binaural sound outside the FOV.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device (WED) includes a display that displays a virtual image on a physical object located in an area around a user and speakers that play sound as binaural sound that originates from the virtual image. One or more processors scan the area around the user to locate the physical object, divide the area around the user into different zones, assign room impulse responses (RIRs) to the zones, and process the sound with the RIRs.

Abstract: A firearm system includes a firearm and a computer. Electronics in the firearm determine data that includes a pathway between different points of aim of the firearm as the firearm moves. The computer receives this data and builds an image of the pathway between the different points of aim of the firearm.

Abstract: An electronic device displays an image during a communication between two people. The image represents one of the people to the communication. The electronic device determines a location where to place the image and displays the image such that the image appears to exist at the location.

Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) worn on a head of a first person provides an electronic call between the first person and a second person. The HMD includes or more sensors that determine one of a size or a shape of a physical environment where the first person is located. A display displays a virtual image of the second person during the electronic call, and one or more processors adjust a voice of the second person played to the first person to compensation for sound reverberation. The HMD include speakers that play the voice of the second person in binaural sound compensated for the sound reverberation.

Abstract: Speech and/or non-speech in an audio input are convolved to localize sounds to different locations for a user. An audio diarization system segments the audio input into speech and non-speech segments. These segments are convolved with one or more head related transfer functions (HRTFs) so the sounds localize to different sound localization points (SLPs) for the user.

Abstract: A method provides binaural sound to a person through electronic earphones. The binaural sound localizes to a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space that is away from but proximate to the person. When an event occurs, the binaural sound switches or changes to stereo sound, to mono sound, or to altered binaural sound.

Abstract: A home appliance can operate in a future time frame. Information is obtained from a power distributor in order to determine a time when to operate the home appliance in this future time frame. The home appliance then operates at the time determined with information from the power distributor.
