Abstract: A system and method for performing microphone gating operations, is disclosed. The system and method include a transmitter configured to emit a transmit signal towards an object and a receiver configured to receive a reflected signal from the object, the reflected signal corresponding to the transmit signal. The system and method also include a controller configured to instruct the transmitter to emit the transmit signal and receive the reflected signal from the receiver. The controller is further configured to detect motion of the object based upon the reflected signal and turn a microphone on or off based upon the motion of the object.

Abstract: An audio transducer system, such as in-ear monitors, are connected to an audio base unit, such as a receiver body pack, using a bidirectional serial time-division multiplexed link. The bidirectional connecting cable has a single active conductor and a ground wire, a detachable connector to the receiver body pack and, preferably, a detachable connector to the sin-ear monitors. The invention provides for bidirectional communication between the audio base unit (receiver body pack) and the audio transducer system (in-ear monitors) and enables simultaneous and automatically configured DC power supply depending on the identified requirements.

Abstract: A rotary fader apparatus includes a fader control knob that is directly attached to the rotor of a non-contact electrical motor. The apparatus may produce a fade effect based on the rotational position of the fader control knob and may be automated through signals to the motor. Such a rotary fader apparatus may be used, for example, in audio mixing applications to provide automated or manual rotary control of track fading. The motor may also be used to alter the feel of the movement of the fader control knob and/or provide tactile feedback in response to mixing parameters or signal properties.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a recording device, an indication of an initializing time and receiving, by the recording device, an indication of a timing pace. The method also includes maintaining, by the recording device, an updated current time based on the initializing time and the timing pace and sensing, via a sensor of the recording device, a condition. The method further includes storing, in memory of the recording device, an indication of the condition and an associated indication of the updated current time. The indication of the updated current time corresponds to when the condition was sensed by the sensor.

Abstract: A multi-stage analog-to-digital conversion method and system use window functions and translation to match high gain frames of data to target frames of data. The technique selects window data packets for the output stream based the stage of data having the highest gain satisfying selection criteria, such as requiring a frame of data for the respective stage to satisfy a predetermined accuracy of fit value compared to a target frame of data for a zero gain stage.

Abstract: An illustrative device has a user interface configured to receive a user input, a processor, and a display configured to display a temporal difference map. The processor is configured to receive a plurality of digital images comprising a first digital image and a second digital image. The processor is also configured to store a portion of the plurality of digital images in a buffer memory. The buffer memory is configured to buffer a number of digital images received between the first digital image and the second digital image. The processor is further configured to receive, from the user interface, the user input. The user input indicates the number of digital images received between the first digital image and the second digital image. The processor is also configured to combine the first digital image and the second digital image to create the temporal difference map.
