  • Patent number: 11812208
    Abstract: A method and a device for reducing noise of a wireless-earphone, a wireless-earphone and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. In the method, a first electromagnetic signal from a slave earphone is received, and the first electromagnetic signal is converted to an audio signal. The first electromagnetic signal is obtained by a coil inducing an audio signal acquired by a microphone in the slave earphone. A to-be-denoised earphone is determined based on audio signals acquired by microphones in the earphones. It is determined whether an audio signal acquired by a microphone in the to-be-denoised earphone has a voice feature. Noise reduction processing is performed on the audio signal acquired by the microphone in the to-be-denoised earphone by using a filter in a case that the audio signal acquired by the microphone in the to-be-denoise earphone has the voice feature.

  • Patent number: 11790131
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to testing software for operating an autonomous vehicle. In one instance, a simulation may be run using log data collected by a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode. The simulation may be run using the software to control a simulated vehicle and by modifying a characteristic of an agent identified in the log data. During the running of the simulation, that a first type of interaction between the first simulated vehicle and the modified agent will occur may be determined. In response to determining that the particular type of interaction will occur, the modified agent may be replaced by a interactive agent that simulates a road user corresponding to the modified agent that is capable of responding to actions performed by simulated vehicles. That the particular type of interaction between the simulated vehicle and the interactive agent has occurred in the simulation may be determined.

  • Publication number: 20220347717
    Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to systems, methods, and articles for producing a patterned film and using the patterned film to form a pattern of discrete overlay film structures on a substrate material. A uniform thickness of a film material is deposited on to a first surface of a run of carrier sheets, where each carrier sheet includes one or more holes extending there through. A first carrier sheet is extracted from the run of carrier sheets, and a second surface of the carrier sheet is positioned on a substrate material. Heat and/or pressure is applied to the film material to cause the film material to transfer to the substrate material through the one or more holes in the carrier sheet forming a pattern of discrete overlay film structures on the substrate material. The carrier sheet along with remaining portions of the film material is removed from the substrate material.
