  • Patent number: 11960002
    Abstract: Some systems include an acoustic sensor array configured to receive acoustic signals, an electromagnetic imaging tool configured to receive electromagnetic radiation, a user interface, a display, and a processor. The processor can receive electromagnetic data from the electromagnetic imaging tool and acoustic data from the acoustic sensor array. The processor can generate acoustic image data of the scene based on the received acoustic data, generate a display image comprising combined acoustic image data and electromagnetic image data, and present the display image on the display. The processor can receive an annotation input from the user interface and update the display image based on the received annotation input. The processor can be configured to determine one or more acoustic parameters associated with the received acoustic signal and determine a criticality associated with the acoustic signal.

  • Publication number: 20240118416
    Abstract: Acoustic imaging systems can include an acoustic sensing array, an electromagnetic imaging tool, a display, and an audio device. A processor can receive data from the acoustic sensor array and the electromagnetic imaging tool to generate a display image combining acoustic image data and electromagnetic image data. Systems can include an audio device that receives an audio output from the processor and outputs audio feedback signals to a user. The audio feedback signals can represent acoustic signals from an acoustic scene. Systems can provide a display image to a user including acoustic image data, and a user can select an acoustic signal for which to provide a corresponding audio output to an audio device. Audio outputs and display images can change dynamically in response to a change in pointing of the acoustic sensing array, such as by changing a stereo audio output.

  • Patent number: 10439974
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing activity information of devices engaged in a messaging session. In operation, the devices provide activity and sharing preference information to a data service. Thereafter, the data service generates notifications for the devices based on the activity, sharing preference, and device information, wherein the notifications include a payload with instructions for messaging clients at the devices to present user interface elements that allow users to access content and applications associated with other users in the messaging session.

  • Publication number: 20150319206
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for sharing a media station. A user can share a media station with one or more other users. The sharing user can transmit a share request to share the media station with receiving users. A share link configured to provide access to the shared media station can then be sent to each receiving user. In some embodiments, the shared media station can be tailored or customized for the receiving user. For example, the shared media station can be tailored based on user preference data for the receiving user. To customize the shared media station, a new version of the shared media station can be generated based on one or more media station seeds that define the media station, as well as the user preference data. The newly generated version of the media station can then be provided to the receiving user.
