摘要： Various implementations include microphone arrays and related speaker systems. In one implementation, a microphone array is mounted in a housing having a primary X axis, a primary Y axis perpendicular to the primary X axis, and a primary Z axis perpendicular to the primary X axis and the primary Y axis. The microphone array can include a set of microphones positioned in a single plane perpendicular to the primary Z axis, and axially asymmetric with respect to both the primary X axis and the primary Y axis.

摘要： Disclosed herein are apparatus, devices, and methods for monitoring marine animals, such as whales, and other marine mammals, and fish groups within a marine environment. A marine animal monitoring system may include an acoustic receiver array having a high-resolution directional sensing capacity using large-aperture densely-sampled coherent ocean acoustic receiver arrays operative to enhance detection range and localization accuracy of marine mammal vocalizations and fish acoustic signals. The acoustic receiver array may generate acoustic signal information based on acoustic signals sensed at the array. The marine monitoring system may operate to generate marine animal information based on the acoustic signal information, such as marine animal location, species, call type, and/or the like.

摘要： A method of mixing microphone signals. First and second microphone signals are obtained from respective first and second microphones. In at least one affected subband, the first and second microphone signals are mixed to produce first and second mixed signals. At least one reference subband of the first and second microphone signals is processed in order to identify a binaural cue between the first and second microphone signals, the reference subband being distinct from the or each affected subband. The affected subband in the first and second mixed signals is modified in order to re-emphasize the identified binaural cue.

摘要： Systems, devices and methods for communication include an ear canal microphone configured for placement in the ear canal to detect high frequency sound localization cues. An external microphone positioned away from the ear canal can detect low frequency sound, such that feedback can be substantially reduced. The canal microphone and the external microphone are coupled to a transducer, such that the user perceives sound from the external microphone and the canal microphone with high frequency localization cues and decreased feedback. Wireless circuitry can be configured to connect to many devices with a wireless protocol, such that the user can receive and transmit audio signals. A bone conduction sensor can detect near-end speech of the user for transmission with the wireless circuitry in noisy environment. Noise cancellation of background sounds near the user can improve the user's hearing of desired sounds.

摘要： A portable computing device includes one or more microphones that function seamlessly with other components within the portable computing device. In one embodiment, a microphone opening is disposed on a side of the personal computing device and configured to be substantially perpendicular to a user. In another embodiment, two microphones can be disposed on an upper region above a keyboard section and can include a third microphone facing toward a rear portion of the portable computing device. In yet another embodiment, a fixture for providing a bonding pressure to microphones is described.

摘要： Audio signals from microphones of a mobile device are received. Each audio signal is generated by a respective microphone of the microphones. First microphones are selected from among the microphones to generate a front audio signal. Second microphones are selected from among the microphones to generate a back audio signal. A first audio signal portion, which is determined based at least in part on the back audio signal, is removed from the front audio signal to generate a modified front audio signal. A second audio signal portion is removed from the modified front audio signal to generate a left-front audio signal. A third audio signal portion is removed from the modified front audio signal to generate a right-front audio signal.

摘要： An operation situation detection device includes: at least one microphone that is provided in a chamber to detect a first operation sound which is an operation sound occurring when a predetermined operation is performed in the chamber; a memory that stores in advance a second operation sound which is a typical sound likely to occur when the operation is performed; a calculator that calculates a similarity between the first operation sound and the second operation sound; and a determinator that determines that the operation has been performed, when the similarity is a predetermined value or higher.

摘要： A signal converter includes a chamber, a first diaphragm, a second diaphragm, and a first converter. The chamber has a first opening at one end and a second opening at a second end opposite the first end. The first diaphragm is disposed so as to cover the first opening. The second diaphragm is disposed so as to cover the second opening. The first converter is disposed in the chamber and configured to generate a first signal based on a vibration of the first diaphragm.

摘要： A wireless microphone receiver comprises a phase locker to lock a phase of an audio data successfully received from a microphone transmitter; a calculator to calculate a frequency offset between the locked phase of the microphone receiver and the phase of the microphone transmitter; a calibrator to calibrate the frequency offset using a first step if the absolute value of the frequency offset is larger than a first predetermined threshold, and to calibrate the frequency offset with a second step if the absolute value of the frequency offset is smaller than or equal to the first predetermined threshold, and complete the calibration if a calibrated frequency offset is smaller than a second threshold; a buffer to buffer the audio data received from the microphone transmitter, and the calibrator further adjusts the amount of data stored in the buffer; and the microphone receiver further outputs buffered audio data.

摘要： System and method for analyzing audio data are provided. The audio data may be analyzed7 to identify language register. For example, the audio data may be analyzed to identify language register of a selected speaker, such as the language register of a wearer of a wearable audio sensor, of a speaker engaged in conversation with the wearer of the wearable audio sensor, and so forth. For example, the audio data may be analyzed to obtain textual information, and the textual information may be analyzed to identify the language register. Feedbacks and reports may be provided based on the identified language register.
