    摘要: An own voice suppression apparatus applicable to a hearing aid is disclosed. The own voice suppression apparatus comprises: an air conduction sensor, an own voice indication module and a suppression module. The air conduction sensor is configured to generate an audio signal. The own voice indication module is configured to generate an indication signal according to at least one of user's mouth vibration information and user's voice feature vector comparison result. The suppression module coupled to the air conduction sensor and the own voice indication module is configured to generate an own-voice-suppressed signal according to the indication signal and the audio signal.

    摘要: A spread spectrum based audio frequency communication system at least includes a transmitting apparatus. The transmitting apparatus includes a first dot-product module, a summation module, a transmitting modulation module, a mixture module, a digital-to-analog converter, and a transmitter. The first dot-product module is configured to perform a dot-product of a first data and a first pseudo-noise code, and derive a first spreading data. The summation module is configured to sum up the first spreading data and a second spreading data to form a summed data. The transmitting modulation module is configured to vary a carrier signal with the summed data to form a modulated signal. The mixture module is configured to mix the modulated signal and an acoustic signal up to form a mixed signal. The digital-to-analog converter is configured to convert the mixed signal into acoustic waves. The transmitter transmits the acoustic waves.

    摘要: A microphone system for a boomless headset is disclosed, comprising a microphone array and a processing unit. The microphone array comprises Q microphones and generates Q audio signals. A first microphone and a second microphone are disposed on different earcups, and a third microphone is disposed on one of two earcups and displaced laterally and vertically from one of the first and the second microphones. The processing unit performs operations comprising: performing spatial filtering over the Q audio signals using a trained model based on an arc line with a vertical distance and a horizontal distance from a midpoint between the first and the second microphones, a time delay range for the first and the second microphones and coordinates of the Q microphones to generate a beamformed output signal originated from zero or more target sound sources inside a target beam area, where Q>=3.

    摘要: A fan control system applied to N fans inside a computer system is disclosed, comprising: a main microphone, a control circuitry, a wave generation circuitry and a number N of fan controllers. The control circuitry calculates a basic frequency value according to a temperature inside the computer system, and continuously updates a parameter by any known optimization algorithm according to a main audio signal from the main microphone. The wave generation circuitry generates N square waves according to the basic frequency value and the parameter. The N fan controllers respectively form and transmit N modulation signals to the N fans according to the N square waves and N tachometric signals from the N fans. The parameter is one of a frequency variation and a set of phase differences, and the N square waves have the same frequency.

    摘要: A processing apparatus applied in an artificial neuron is disclosed. The processing apparatus comprises a parser, a lookup array, a summing circuit and a MAC circuit. The parser parses one of M packets to extract a non-zero weight value from a header of the one packet, to identify a plurality of bit positions with a specified digit from a payload of the one packet, and to output the non-zero weight value and the bit positions in parallel. The lookup array contains N synapse values and is indexed by the bit positions in parallel to generate a plurality of match values. The summing circuit sums up the match values to generate a sum value. The MAC circuit generates a product of the non-zero weight value and the sum value, and generates an accumulate value based on the product and at least one previous accumulate value.
