摘要:
A handheld communication device is used to capture video streams and generate a multiplexed video stream. The handheld communication device has at least two cameras facing in two opposite directions. The handheld communication device receives a first video stream and a second video stream simultaneously from the two cameras. The handheld communication device detects a speech activity of a person captured in the video streams. The speech activity may be detected from direction of sound or lip movement of the person. Based on the detection, the handheld communication device automatically switches between the first video stream and the second video stream to generate a multiplexed video stream. The multiplexed video stream interleaves segments of the first video stream and segments of the second video stream. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A system detects the repositioning of an earphone that is worn by a user, and changes an operation mode of a host coupled to the earphone. Within the earphone is a pressure transducer that detects a pressure change caused by the repositioning of the earphone. A signaling mechanism sends a repositioning detection signal to the host in response to a signal from the pressure transducer indicating the detection of the pressure change.

Provided is a photomask used in fabrication of a semiconductor device. The photomask includes first and second regions to be transferred onto a semiconductor substrate having a step difference. The first and second regions have mask patterns. The mask patterns of the first region have a different shape from the mask patterns of the second region. The mask patterns of the second region have concave and convex portions disposed in opposite lateral portions thereof.

A device includes a microphone array fixed to the device. A signal processor produces an audio output using audio beamforming with input from the microphone array. The signal processor aims the beamforming in a selected direction. An orientation sensor—such as a compass, an accelerometer, or an inertial sensor—is coupled to the signal processor. The orientation sensor detects a change in the orientation of the microphone array and provides an orientation signal to the signal processor for adjusting the aim of the beamforming to maintain the selected direction. The device may include a camera that captures an image. An image processor may identify an audio source in the image and provide a signal adjusting the selected direction to follow the audio source. The image processor may receive the orientation signal and adjust the image for changes in the orientation of the camera before tracking movement of the audio source.

A method of fabricating a flash memory device uses a self-aligned non-exposure pattern formation process. A conductive layer and an oxidation-blocking layer are formed on a stepped pattern including a floating gate pattern and an inter-gate insulating layer pattern such that the conductive layer and the oxidation-blocking layer conform to the stepped pattern. A photoresist layer is formed on the oxidation-blocking layer such that the photoresist layer has an upper surface situated above the oxidation-blocking layer. A portion of the photoresist layer is dissolved, without having photo-exposed the photoresist layer, by soaking the photoresist layer in developing solution. This soaking alone, or supplemented with an etch back process, is carried out until the upper surface of the photoresist layer is situated below the upper surface of the oxidation-blocking layer on the stepped pattern. The resulting photoresist pattern exposes that part of the oxidation-blocking layer on the stepped pattern. A blocking layer pattern exposing the conductive layer is formed on the stepped pattern by removing the exposed part of the oxidation-blocking layer. The photoresist pattern is then removed. A hard mask defining a control gate is formed by oxidizing the surface of the conductive layer exposed by the blocking layer pattern. The blocking layer pattern is then removed. A control gate is formed by etching the conductive layer using the hard mask as an etch mask. The hard mask is then removed whereupon a stacked gate structure is formed.

A technique for resetting the time for driving a print head of an ink-jet printer, based on different absorptivities of papers to be printed by the ink-jet printer, optimizes the amount of ink emerging from nozzles of the head resulting in a high print resolution. The technique includes: displaying different paper types on a display; selecting one type of paper out of the displayed paper types; obtaining a head driving time corresponding to the selected paper type from a look-up table prestored in a memory device and changing the predesignated head driving time to the obtained head driving time; and printing data with the changed head driving time.

An ink cartridge detection circuit and method for detecting whether an ink cartridge is mounted in an ink jet recording apparatus. The ink cartridge circuit includes a driver for driving a corresponding nozzle by applying a driving power supply voltage to a corresponding heating element; a voltage detector connected to the heating elements for detecting a voltage level of the driving power supply voltage dropped by means of driving of the heating elements; and a controller for driving one or more of the heating elements through the driver and for comparing a voltage level detected by the voltage detector with a preset reference voltage level in order to detect whether an ink cartridge is mounted on a carriage of the ink jet recording apparatus.
