    Abstract: An optical fingerprint sensor includes: cover glass for receiving a finger; a transparent electrode layer below a bottom surface of the cover glass; an organic light emitting diode layer (OLED) below the transparent electrode layer; and a metal electrode layer below the OLED layer. Multiple openings extend through each of the transparent electrode layer, OLED layer, and metal electrode layer, and transmit reflected light reflected from a top surface of the cover glass when a finger is positioned over the top surface of the cover glass. A collimator or pinhole filter is below the metal electrode layer, and includes multiple apertures for transmitting the reflected light after the reflected light is transmitted through the multiple openings. An imager is below the bottom surface of the collimator or pinhole filter, and includes an array of pixels that detects the reflected light after the reflected light is transmitted through the multiple apertures.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for voice search. A voice search system for a voice-enabled device captures one or more images of a scene, detects a user in the one or more images, determines whether the position of the user satisfies an attention-based trigger condition for initiating a voice search operation, and selectively transmits a voice query to a network resource based at least in part on the determination. The voice query may include audio recorded from the scene and/or the one or more images captured of the scene. The voice search system may further determine whether the trigger condition is satisfied as a result of a false trigger and disable the voice-enabled device from transmitting the voice query to the network resource based at least in part on the trigger condition being satisfied as the result of a false trigger.

    Abstract: A force sensing apparatus includes a first layer having a first electrode disposed thereon, a second layer having a second electrode disposed thereon, and a spacer layer configured to transfer an input force exerted on the first layer to the second layer.

The force sensing apparatus further includes processing circuitry to detect a change in capacitive coupling between the first electrode and the second electrode based on the change in separation distance, and to determine force information about the input force based at least in part on the detected change in capacitive coupling.
