Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to methods, apparatus and systems for biometric processes. The methods include updating stored ear model data for a user following successful authentication of the user. The ear model data may be acquired using a personal audio device that generates an acoustic stimulus and detects a measured response. The acquisition of the ear model data may be responsive to a determination that the personal audio device is inserted into or placed adjacent to the user's ear. The acquisition of the ear model data may also be responsive to the determination that the personal audio device has not been removed from or moved away from the user's ear.

Abstract: A method of own voice detection is provided for a user of a device. A first signal is detected, representing air-conducted speech using a first microphone of the device. A second signal is detected, representing bone-conducted speech using a bone-conduction sensor of the device. The first signal is filtered to obtain a component of the first signal at a speech articulation rate, and the second signal is filtered to obtain a component of the second signal at the speech articulation rate. The component of the first signal at the speech articulation rate and the component of the second signal at the speech articulation rate are compared, and it is determined that the speech has not been generated by the user of the device, if a difference between the component of the first signal at the speech articulation rate and the component of the second signal at the speech articulation rate exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a neural network system comprising: a data input configured to receive an input data signal and analog neural network circuitry having an input coupled with the data input. The analog neural network circuitry is operative to apply a weight to a signal received at its input to generate a weighted output signal. The neural network system further comprises compensation circuitry configured to apply a compensating term to the input data signal to compensate for error in the analog neural network circuitry.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a neuron for an artificial neural network. The neuron includes: a first dot product engine operative to: receive a first set of weights; receive a set of inputs; and calculate the dot product of the set of inputs and the first set of weights to generate a first dot product engine output. The neuron further includes a second dot product engine operative to: receive a second set of weights; receive an input based on the first dot product engine output; and generate a second dot product engine output based on the product of the first dot product engine output and a weight of the second set of weights. The neuron further includes an activation function module arranged to generate a neuron output based on the second dot product engine output. The first dot product engine and the second dot product engine are structurally or functionally different.

Abstract: This application relates to methods and apparatus for transfer of multiple digital data streams, especially of digital audio data over a single communications link such as a single wire. The application describes audio interface circuitry comprising a pulse-length-modulation (PLM) modulator (204). The PLM is responsive to a plurality of data streams (PDM-R, PDM-L), to generate a series of data pulses (PLM) with a single data pulse having a rising and falling edge in each of a plurality of transfer periods defined by a first clock signal (TCLK). The timing of the rising and falling edge of each data pulse is dependent upon on a combination of the then current data samples from the plurality of data streams. The duration and position of the data pulse in the transfer window in effect defines a data symbol encoding the data. Circuitry for receiving and extracting the data is also disclosed. An interface receives the stream of data pulses (PLM) and data extraction circuitry (202) samples the data pulse to determine which of the possible data symbols the pulse represents and determines a data value for at least one received data stream.
