Abstract:
An apparatus for audio beamforming is composed of a wearable device (100). Wearable device (100) includes a central processing unit (102), motion sensors (116) and microphones (118). Multiple microphones (118) of wearable device (100) are used to create a microphone array that can be beamformed towards the speaker's voice. A method for adjusting beamforming is also provided.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an example of a computing apparatus for providing a hardware-assisted virtual switch on a host, including: a hardware virtual switch (vSwitch) circuit; and a hardware virtual host (vHost) circuit, the vHost circuit having an interface driver specific to the hardware vSwitch and configured to provide a vHost data plane to: provide a plurality of hardware queues to communicatively couple the hardware vSwitch to a guest virtual function (VF); and present to a virtual network driver of the guest VF an interface that is backward compatible with a software network interface.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to a location aware power management scheme for an always-on-always-listen voice recognition system are described. In an embodiment, logic performs ambient noise trigger level analysis for a location and causes storage of an ambient noise trigger level threshold value for the location based on the ambient noise trigger level analysis. Furthermore, logic determines whether to cause modification to a state of an audio processor in response to detection of the audio processor at the location and comparison of a detected sound level at the location and the stored ambient noise trigger level threshold value. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
In one example an electronic device comprises at least one sensor to detect a remote power source and a controller comprising logic, at least partly including hardware logic, to determine an input power parameter at a wireless charging device, generate a signal in response to the input power parameter, and forward the signal to an actuator device. Other examples may be described.
Abstract:
Techniques for processing audio data are described. An example of a computing device includes a microphone array to generate audio data and a camera. The computing device is to receive video data from the camera and identify a beam forming target based, at least in part, on the video data. The computing device also includes a beam former to process the audio data to aim a beam of the microphone array at the beam forming target.
Abstract:
In an example, a mobile computing device is provided with mechanical driver s for enhancing audio output, including low-frequency audio. The mechanical drivers may be provided to supplement traditional speakers. In an embodiment, mechanical drivers are boosted in effectiveness by being disposed against a sturdy surface such as a desktop. When a user holds a convertible tablet up, such enhancement may be provided by enabling mechanical drivers that are disposed against a base or other structural member of the convertible tablet.
