Abstract:
A method is provided in one example and includes receiving audio data at a microphone array that includes a plurality of microphones. The microphone array is provisioned at a first endpoint, which includes a camera element configured to capture video data associated with a video session involving the first endpoint and a second endpoint. The method also includes formatting the audio data into a time division multiplex (TDM) stream, and communicating the stream to a port for a subsequent communication over a network and to the second endpoint.
Abstract:
A method is provided in one example and includes receiving image data at a camera element that is provisioned at a first endpoint, which is configured to conduct a video session involving a second endpoint. The method also includes identifying an incoming request for the video session; signaling to the camera element to open a lens included within the camera element; detecting that the video session has been terminated; and signaling to the camera element to close the lens.

Abstract:
A printed circuit board assembly incorporates an opening into which one or more integrated circuit packages at least partially fit, a plurality of electrical connection pads are disposed about the periphery of the opening, corresponding leads of the integrated circuit package are bonded to the pads, and the overall assembly is thinner than an assembly lacking the opening.

Abstract:
A system on a circuit board includes a plurality of devices designed to access an electronic system on the circuit board, and a programmable logic device (PLD) connected to the plurality of devices. Each of the plurality of devices complies with a test port architecture. The PLD interfaces the plurality of devices with a test port. The PLD is capable of configuring different connectivity among the plurality of devices based on the program implemented and the assertion of input control signals. A method and apparatus configures a plurality of devices on a circuit board into a desired configuration using the PLD. The configuration includes (a) receiving a control signal at the PLD, (b) configuring at least one of the plurality of devices into a chain based on the control signal, and (c) coupling the configured chain to the test port via the PLD.
