  • Publication number: 20220394393
    Abstract: A comb-like capacitive microphone includes a substrate penetrated by a cavity having an upper part provided with a step, stationary electrodes equally spaced on the step, and a diaphragm received in the step and including a vibrating portion and a connecting portion connected to the vibrating portion. Movable electrodes protrude from a periphery of the vibrating portion, and an end of the connecting portion away from the vibrating portion is connected to the substrate. The stationary electrodes are arranged in a comb shape and directly etched on the substrate, and the movable electrodes are arranged in a comb shape. The stationary electrodes are spatially separated from the movable electrodes, each stationary electrode is corresponding to each movable electrode. Such structure of the comb-like capacitive microphone offers a relatively large displacement, to decrease the acoustic noise and to offer a high sensitivity, and eventually a sound transducer with high performances.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a substrate and an antenna apparatus. The substrate includes a grounding area. The antenna apparatus includes a first radiating element, a second radiating element, a third radiating element, a first feeding structure, and a second feeding structure that are disposed in the clearance area adjacent to the grounding area. The first radiating element and the grounding area jointly form a slot antenna. The second radiating element is separated from the grounding area. The first feeding structure and the second feeding structure are located at the clearance area and are grounded. The second feeding structure is electrically coupled between the third radiating element and the ground. The antenna apparatus feeds a radiating element using the first feeding structure and the second feeding structure to obtain resonance modes at different frequencies, thereby implementing a dual-band dual-antenna function.

  • Patent number: 11513578
    Abstract: A power management system for a headset includes a step-up converter and a step-down converter. The step-up converter increases the voltage and decreases the current supplied by the power supply. The power is transmitted via transmission lines at the increased voltage. The step-down converter decreases the voltage to a suitable level for various components of a power rail assembly. The power lost in the transmission lines is proportional to the square of the current. The power saved by transmission at a lower current in the transmission lines is greater than the power lost by the step-up converter and the step-down converter.

  • Publication number: 20220373655
    Abstract: A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanning system is provided. The system comprises a light steering device; a galvanometer mirror controllable to oscillate between two angular positions; and a plurality of transmitter channels configured to direct light to the galvanometer mirror. The plurality of transmitter channels are separated by an angular channel spacing from one another. The system further comprises a control device. Inside an end-of-travel region, the control device controls the galvanometer mirror to move based on a first mirror movement profile. Outside the end-of-travel region, the control device controls the galvanometer mirror to move based on a second mirror movement profile. The second mirror movement profile is different from the first mirror-movement profile. Movement of the galvanometer mirror based on the first mirror movement profile facilitates minimizing instances of scanlines corresponding to the end-of-travel region having a pitch exceeding a first target pitch.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for rotating elements displayed by computing devices are described herein. At least one image of a user of a computing device may be captured by a camera of the computing device. An angle of the eyes of the user with respect to the computing device may be determined. Based on that determined angle, at least one element of content displayed by the computing device may be rotated so as to allow for display of that element in an orientation consumable by the user. For example, the element might be rotated at an angle corresponding to the angle of the eyes of the user with respect to the orientation of the computing device.
