Publication number: US20220011903A1

Abstract:
A system and method for capacitive sensing comprises driving a first sensor electrode of a plurality of sensor electrodes with a first sensing signal to acquire a first resulting signal with the first sensor electrode during a period and driving a second sensor electrode of the plurality of sensor electrodes with the first sensing signal to acquire a second resulting signal with the second sensor electrode during the period. Further, a third sensor electrode of the plurality of sensor electrodes is driven with a reference signal during the period. Rotational information for an input object is determined at least partially based on the first resulting signal and the second resulting signal.

Publication number: US20220013134A1

Abstract:
Audio processing systems and methods include an audio sensor array configured to receive a multichannel audio input and generate a corresponding multichannel audio signal and target-speech detection logic and an automatic speech recognition engine or VoIP application. An audio processing device includes a target speech enhancement engine configured to analyze a multichannel audio input signal and generate a plurality of enhanced target streams, a multi-stream target-speech detection generator comprising a plurality of target-speech detector engines each configured to determine a probability of detecting a specific target-speech of interest in the stream, wherein the multi-stream target-speech detection generator is configured to determine a plurality of weights associated with the enhanced target streams, and a fusion subsystem configured to apply the plurality of weights to the enhanced target streams to generate an enhancement output signal.

Publication number: US20210390909A1

Abstract:
A display driver comprises gamma processing circuitry, compensation circuitry, and driver circuitry. The gamma processing circuitry is configured to process the image data to generate gamma processed image data. The compensation circuitry is configured to process the gamma-processed image data, based on a ratio of a number of display elements that emit light to a total number of display elements of a display panel, to generate compensated image data. The driver circuitry is configured to drive the display panel based on the compensated image data.
