  • Publication number: 20230319475
    Abstract: In aspects of audio level adjustment based on UWB, a wireless device includes an ultra-wideband (UWB) radio to communicate with UWB radios respectively associated with speakers emitting audio. The UWB radio can receive UWB ranging data from the UWB radios associated with the speakers. An audio controller can utilize the UWB ranging data to monitor locations of the wireless device relative to the speakers and determine a location change of the wireless device relative to the speakers. The audio controller can communicate audio adjustment instructions based on the locations of the wireless device relative to the speakers or relative to the location change of the wireless device. The audio adjustment instructions can initiate an adjustment of a sound level of the audio emitted from at least one of the speakers and/or initiate a delay in the audio emitted from at least one of the speakers.

  • Patent number: 11719792
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for a systems and methods for intra-shot dynamic LIDAR detector gain. One example method my include emitting, by an optical ranging system at a first time, a first light pulse. The example method may also include increasing, after the first time, a sensitivity of a photodetector of the optical ranging system from a first sensitivity at the first time to a second sensitivity at a second time. The example method may also include decreasing the sensitivity of the photodetector of the optical ranging system from the second sensitivity at third time to the first sensitivity at a fourth time, wherein the fourth time is after the photodetector receives return light based on the first light pulse. The example method may also include emitting, by the optical ranging system at the fourth time, a second light pulse.

  • Publication number: 20230245669
    Abstract: An adaptive echo cancellation system introduces an acoustic reference signal to audio content being transmitted to the speaker for playback. The acoustic reference signal is an out-of-band signal, such as an ultrasonic signal, which is typically not audible to humans. The microphone of the mobile device receives the audio content played back by the speaker as well as audio content introduced by the user (e.g., the speech of the user). The adaptive echo cancellation system detects the acoustic reference signal and determines a time delay between when the acoustic reference signal was introduced to the audio content and when the audio content including the acoustic reference signal was received by the mobile device. Echo is cancelled from the received audio content based on this determined time delay.

  • Patent number: 11654063
    Abstract: A method for turning and positioning a patient includes placing a sheet under the patient, the sheet including a top surface, a bottom surface, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first strap coupled proximate to the first lateral side, and a second strap coupled proximate to the second lateral side, and providing a pulling force to the first strap and the second strap, wherein the pulling force to the first strap and the pulling force to the second strap are in opposing directions across the patient. The pulling force to the first strap is greater than the pulling force to the second strap whereby the pulling force to the first handle causes movement of the patient in the direction of the pulling force to move the patient from a first position to a second position, and the pulling force to the second handle is a resistance force.
