    Abstract: An integrated haptic system may include a digital signal processor and an amplifier communicatively coupled to the digital signal processor and integrated with the digital signal processor into the integrated haptic system. The digital signal processor may be configured to receive a force sensor signal indicative of a force applied to a force sensor and generate a haptic playback signal responsive to the force. The amplifier may be configured to amplify the haptic playback signal and drive a vibrational actuator communicatively coupled to the amplifier with the haptic playback signal as amplified by the amplifier.

    Abstract: A method for quantifying fidelity of a haptic signal may include receiving a response signal indicative of a vibrational response of a vibrational transducer to a haptic playback waveform driven to the vibrational transducer, perceptually filtering the response signal to obtain human haptic-perceptible components of the response signal, and quantifying fidelity of the haptic playback waveform based on at least one quantitative characteristic of the human haptic-perceptible components of the response signal.

    Abstract: This application describes methods and apparatus for loudspeaker protection. A loudspeaker protection system (100) is described having a first frequency band-splitter (102) for splitting an input audio signal (Vin) into a plurality of audio signals (v1, v2 . . . , vn) in different respective frequency bands (ω1, ω2 . . . , ωn). A first gain block (103) is configured to apply a respective frequency band gain (g1, g2 . . . , g3) to each of the audio signals in the different respective frequency bands and a gain controller (107, 108, 109) is provided for controlling the respective band gains. A displacement modeller (104, 105) determines a plurality of displacement signals (x1, x2 . . . , xn) based on the input audio signal (Vin) and a displacement model (104a) where each displacement signal corresponds to a modelled cone displacement for the loudspeaker for one of said different respective frequency bands. The gain controller (107, 108, 109) is configured to control the respective frequency band gains based on the plurality of displacement signals.

    Abstract: A method may include generating an electrical drive waveform associated with a target actuator by stretching or compressing a reference drive waveform associated with a reference actuator in a time domain of the reference drive waveform in accordance with a time adjustment factor, wherein the time adjustment factor is determine based on a difference between a resonant frequency of the target actuator and a resonant frequency of the reference actuator. The same or another method may include generating an electrical drive waveform associated with a target actuator by increasing or decreasing an amplitude of a reference drive waveform associated with a reference actuator in accordance with an amplitude adjustment factor, wherein the amplitude adjustment factor is determined based on a difference between a resonant frequency of the target actuator and a resonant frequency of the reference actuator.

    Abstract: This application describes methods and apparatus for loudspeaker protection. A loudspeaker protection system (1100) is described having a first frequency band-splitter (102) for splitting an input audio signal (Vin) into a plurality of audio signals (v1, v2 . . . ,vn) in different respective frequency bands (ω1, ω2 . . . ωη). A first gain block (103) is configured to apply a respective frequency band gain (gt1, gt2 . . . ,gt3) to each of the audio signals in the different respective frequency bands and a gain controller (109; 1101) is provided for controlling the respective band gains. A thermal controller (1101) determines, for each of a plurality of the different respective frequency bands, a power dissipation for the loudspeaker in that frequency band and also determines a respective thermal gain setting based on the determined power dissipation for that frequency band. The gain controller is configured to control the respective frequency band gains based on the thermal gain settings.
