    Abstract: A frequency selectable driver circuit (driver circuit) includes a current drive transistor between a first and second node for driving a frequency selectable oscillator (FSO) coupled therebetween that includes a first LC network including an inductor L2 and a capacitor C2 in series and a second LC network in series with the first LC network. The second LC network includes a capacitor bank including capacitors in parallel including switches for switching (selectable capacitors) and an inductor L3 in parallel to the capacitor bank. Values of L2 and C2 provide a low frequency point fL which the LC network is overall capacitive, and in a frequency range between fa and fb above fL with only a portion of selectable capacitors selected a capacitance of the capacitor bank and value of L3 results in an overall impedance for the second LC network that is capacitive between fa and fb and inductive elsewhere.

    Abstract: A device is configured for identifying a direction of a sound. The device includes a controller comprising circuitry. The circuitry is configured to receive a first output from a first input device and a second output from a second input device. The circuitry is also configured to add a delay to the second output. The circuitry is also configured to compare the first output to the delayed second output in a plurality of directions to form a comparison. The circuitry is also configured to identify a number of null directions of the plurality of directions where a set of nulls exists based on the comparison.

    Abstract: From at least a first microphone, first microphone signals are received that represent first sound waves. From at least a second microphone, second microphone signals are received that represent second sound waves. In response to the first microphone signals, first noise in the first sound waves is estimated, and first cancellation signals are output for causing a speaker array to generate first additional sound waves via at least a first acoustic beam for cancelling at least some of the first noise. In response to the second microphone signals, second noise in the second sound waves is estimated, and second cancellation signals are output for causing the speaker array to generate second additional sound waves via at least a second acoustic beam for cancelling at least some of the second noise.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include ultrasonic cleaning systems, driver integrated circuits and methods for cleaning a lens, in which an oscillating drive signal is provided to an ultrasonic transducer and the driver controls the frequency of the drive signal according to a current sense signal representing a drive current flowing in the transducer. The driver sweeps the drive signal frequency and compares the sensed current values with predetermined profiles corresponding to a clean lens and a lens with one or more known contaminants, and generates the drive signal at one or more frequencies corresponding to peaks or valleys of the sensed current values or predetermined frequencies to promote cleaning of the lens.
