摘要： 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.

摘要： Electronic devices and equipment may communicate over a wired communications path. The wired communications path may include one or more wires and may be associated with a headphone cable. Data may be conveyed in the form of a digital data stream containing multiple traffic channels. The digital data stream may include superframes, each of which has multiple frames of data. The frames of data may each contain a number of data slots. Some of the slots in a superframe may be used exclusively by a particular one of the traffic channels. Boundary slots may be shared between traffic channels. Data interface circuitry may implement a data dispersion algorithm that determines the pattern in which data from each traffic channel is distributed within each boundary slot. Transmitting data interface circuitry may merge traffic channels into a single data stream. Receiving data interface circuitry may reconstruct the traffic channels.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for sampling and determining the frequency of periodic digital signals. An exemplary digital sampling apparatus includes a polyphase sampling apparatus configured to sample a periodic digital signal according to a polyphase clock system having multiple phases. The multiple phases provided by the polyphase clock system are successively distributed in time so that consecutive phases have a periodic phase difference. By using a polyphase clock system, a sampling rate that is equivalent to a sampling clock having a period equal to the phase difference in time between phases of the polyphase clocks is realized. Accordingly, the effective sampling rate of a given periodic digital signal can be increased, or the sampling of higher frequency periodic digitals signals can be achieved, while the underlying logic circuitry used to capture the samples is clocked at a much lower rate.
