    摘要: An electronic device with an ability to perform touch detection includes an ultrasound touch sensor disposed within a housing and configured to detect physical contact with an exterior surface of the housing. The sensor may emit ultrasonic sound waves, receive reflected ultrasonic sound waves reflected from a surface portion corresponding to the physical contact at the exterior surface of the housing, and compare the reflected ultrasonic sound waves to a stored reflection pattern. Based on determining a match between the reflected ultrasonic sound waves and the stored reflection pattern, the electronic device may activate a function. The sensor may be part of an ultrasound-on-a-chip device.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for three-dimensional imaging of a sample. A source is provided of a beam of substantially collimated light characterized by a temporally dependent spectrum. The beam is focused in a plane characterized by a fixed displacement along the propagation axis of the beam, and scattered light from the sample is superposed with a reference beam derived from the substantially collimated source onto a focal plane detector array to provide an interference signal. A forward scattering model is derived relating measured data to structure of an object to allow solution of an inverse scattering problem based upon the interference signal so that a three-dimensional structure of the sample may be inferred in near real time.

    摘要: An electronic face-identification device, which performs face scanning with ultrasonic waves, includes a housing and an ultrasound device disposed within the housing. The ultrasound device may be configured to transmit ultrasonic waves through air to a face and scan the face with the ultrasonic waves, to receive reflected waves through the air corresponding to reflections of the ultrasonic waves from the face, and to perform a recognition process for the face based on reflections of the ultrasonic waves from the face. The ultrasound device may include a plurality of ultrasound transducers, and electronic circuitry configured to transmit signals to the ultrasound transducers and receive signals from the ultrasound transducers. The face-identification device may be incorporated into various electronic equipment, such as hand-held equipment in the form of smartphones and tablet computers, as well as in larger scale installations at airports, workplace entryways, and the like.

    摘要: Aspects of the technology described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for identifying gestures based on ultrasound data. Performing gesture recognition may include obtaining, with a wearable device, ultrasound data corresponding to an anatomical gesture; and identifying the anatomical gesture based on the obtained ultrasound data. Interfacing with a computing device may include identifying, with a wearable device, an anatomical gesture using ultrasound data obtained by the wearable device; and causing the computing device to perform a specific function based on the anatomical gesture identified by the wearable device. Training a wearable device to perform gesture recognition may include obtaining, with the wearable device, ultrasound data corresponding to an anatomical gesture; obtaining non-ultrasound data corresponding to the anatomical gesture; and training a machine learning model accessed by the wearable device to recognize the anatomical gesture based on correlating the non-ultrasound data and the ultrasound data.
