Abstract: An audio system (e.g., of an artificial reality headset) determines a position of the headset relative to a position of a head of a user wearing the headset. The determination is based in part on an image of a portion of the head from a tracking camera (e.g., eye tracking and/or face tracking) on the headset. The audio system adjusts an acoustic parameter based in part on the determined position of the headset. The audio system performs an action that uses the adjusted acoustic parameter.

Abstract: A voltage converter includes a driving device unit, a current sensing unit and a switching control circuit. The driving device unit charges an input power supply voltage in an inductor, connected between a switching node and an output node, in response to a first driving control signal, and discharges the inductor in response to a second driving control signal. The current sensing unit generates first and second sensing signals based on a first sensed current, a second sensed current, a voltage at the switching node and a ground voltage. The switching control circuit generates the first and second driving control signals by performing a pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) and a pulse-width modulation (PWM) based on a feedback voltage, a reference voltage and the first and second sensing signals. The switching control circuit adaptively adjusts off-time when the switching control circuit performs the PFM.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are an insulating base plated with a metal layer, a plating method thereof, and a transparent electrode including the insulating base. During the manufacture of a polymer layer, a structure of an interface layer between a surface of the polymer layer and a metal layer is modified, adhesion with metal is excellent and the polishability of the interface layer is reduced, and thus, the reflectivity of the metal layer is reduced and particular color impression of metal is reduced to obtain black-oxide treated properties. When the metal layer formed on the insulating base is used in a mesh-type transparent electrode having a fine pattern, sufficient adhesion with metal for forming a pattern is obtained and the reflectivity of an adhesion layer of the metal layer is reduced, thereby increasing the visibility. Accordingly, the insulating base may be suitable for products such as transparent electrodes or touch panels.
