Abstract: A privacy-enable mobile phone case. The privacy-enabled case includes a privacy housing and a sliding element. The sliding element is slidingly coupled to the privacy housing and configured to secure a mobile device having one or more front facing camera(s), one or more rear facing camera(s), and one or more microphone(s). The one or more rear facing camera(s) and the one or more front facing camera(s) are covered when the sliding element is in a closed position by the privacy housing and cannot capture imagery, and the one more microphone(s) are covered in the closed position by the privacy housing thereby obstructing the recording of sound. The one or more rear facing camera(s) and the one or more front facing camera(s) are uncovered when the sliding element is in an open position and can capture imagery, and the one more microphone(s) are uncovered in the open position and can record sound.

Abstract: An active suspension system for a vehicle including elements for developing and executing a trajectory plan responsive to the path on which the vehicle is traveling. The system may include a location system for locating the vehicle, and a system for retrieving a road profile corresponding to the vehicle location.

Abstract: In response to a change in a circuit parameter of a converter delivering power to a load, the converter is operated in a mode in which additional power is supplied to the load by a capacitive element that is in parallel with the converter, the circuit parameter including a parameter other than input current.

Abstract: A sound projection apparatus for a video display device having left and right speakers, first and second ambience speakers, and an amplifier having a right channel and left channel. In this system, connection of the left channel to a speaker produces a left signal; the right channel to a speaker produces a right signal; the left and right channels to ambience circuitry produces an ambience channel; the ambience channel to the positive input of the first ambience speaker produces a first ambience signal and the ambience channel to the negative input of the second ambience speaker produces a second ambience signal. The left and right speakers are forward facing, projecting sound directly from the television to a viewer. The first and second ambience speakers are side or rearward facing, projecting sound indirectly to the viewer. The projection apparatus may be formed as a single cohesive unit, within or near the television.
