  • Publication number: 20210329375
    Abstract: An example system includes a microphone sensor for an electronic device and a chamber coupled to the microphone sensor. The chamber is to be selectively filled with a fluid or having a vacuum therein. When the chamber is filled with the fluid, sound waves are allowed to travel through the chamber to the microphone sensor, and fluid pressure in the chamber causes an indicator to be in a first position. When the chamber has a vacuum therein, sound waves are prevented from traveling through the chamber to the microphone sensor and the vacuum in the chamber causes the indicator to be in a second position different from the first position.

  • Publication number: 20210312296
    Abstract: A method of removing individual variation from emotional representations may include classifying physiological data based on subject-independent emotion factors. The subject-independent emotion factors are isolated from subject-dependent individual factors. Further, a non-transitory computer readable medium includes computer usable program code embodied therewith. The computer usable program code, when executed by the processor classifies, with a first neural network, the physiological data based on subject-independent emotion factors from the trained first neural network. The subject-independent emotion factors have been isolated within the physiological data from subject-dependent individual factors.
