Abstract: This application relates to methods and apparatus for loudspeaker protection. A loudspeaker protection system receives a digital audio signal comprising a plurality of samples at an input node. A delay block delays the digital audio signal and a gain block applies a controlled gain to the delayed digital audio signal. An excursion predictor is configured to receive a version of the audio signal from the signal path upstream of the delay block and determine a predicted excursion for a loudspeaker based on the audio signal. A gain controller controls a gain setting of the gain block in response to the predicted excursion and a first loudspeaker impulse response model and a predetermined excursion limit. The gain controller is configured to determine at least one gain setting {ga gi} to be applied to a set of samples {Va . . .

This socket holder can hold multiples of sockets to the main socket holder body, releasing them only when desired by the user with the push of the push button that controls the internal mechanisms which release the sockets from the main socket holder body. This socket holder is designed to organize and securely lock the sockets onto the main socket holder body in a way that is dependable and easy to use.

Abstract: Methods and Apparatus for estimating a temperature of an electromechanical transducer. The method comprising receiving an audio signal (901); providing an output signal to the electromechanical transducer, based on the audio signal (902); and determining whether a first magnitude of the audio signal in a first frequency band is above a magnitude threshold (903). In response to the first magnitude being above or equal to the magnitude threshold, calculating a first impedance of the electromechanical transducer based on measurements of a first voltage and a first current of the electromechanical transducer within the first frequency band (905), and estimating the temperature of the electromechanical transducer based on the first impedance (907).

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method in a thermal model based estimator and a thermal model based estimator for estimating a temperature of a transducer. The method comprises receiving a first signal wherein the first signal is representative of an impedance across the transducer; receiving an indication of a current across the transducer; determining an estimated thermal power based on the indication of the current and an estimated temperature signal, determining, based on the estimated thermal power, the estimated temperature signal using a thermal model of the transducer comprising states defined by a thermal state vector; comparing the first signal with a second signal derived from the estimated temperature signal; updating the thermal state vector of the thermal model based on the comparison; and; outputting the estimated temperature signal.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing communication over a network. A co-located assessment agent may monitor communication traffic and determine assets and interactions with communication clients associated with one or more remote services. Asset groups associated with the assets may be determined based on characteristics of the assets. Representative assets from each asset group may be determined. Risk scores associated with each asset in a same asset group as the representative assets may be determined based on the remote services associated with the representative assets and the interactions with the communication clients such that a first risk score is initially generated based on a catalog local to a communication client and a succeeding risk score may be generated remotely based on an assessment model. The assets may be modified based on the first risk score or the succeeding risk score and provided to communication clients for display to a user.
