Abstract: An electronic device that can be worn on a limb of a user can include a processing device and one or more position sensing devices operatively connected to the processing device. The processing device can be adapted to determine which limb of the user is wearing the electronic device based on one or more signals received from at least one position sensing device.

Abstract: A wearable device that attaches to a body part of a user via an attachment member operates in at least a connected and a disconnected state. One or more sensors located in the wearable device and/or the attachment member detect the user's body part when present. Such detection may only be performed when the attachment member is in a connected configuration and may be used to switch the wearable device between the connected and disconnected states. In this way, the wearable device operates in the connected state when worn by a user and in the disconnected state when not worn by the user.

Abstract: Speech enhancers suppress impairments in an acoustic signal. An audio appliance has a first microphone and a second microphone. The first microphone provides a first signal, and the second microphone provides a second signal. A voice-activity detector can determine a presence of user speech responsive to a combination of voice-activity cues, including a first level difference between the first signal and the second signal within a first frequency band, and a second level difference between the first signal and the second signal within a second frequency band. A noise suppressor suppresses impairments originating from a direction of, e.g., up to about 75-degrees from an axis extending from the second microphone to the first microphone. An output device can output a noise-suppressed output-signal corresponding to a determined presence or absence of speech by the voice-activity detector. The impairments can be suppressed by, e.g., between about 3 dB and about 20 dB.

Abstract: System for automatic right-left ear detection for headphone comprising: first earcup and second earcup that are identical. Each of first and second earcups includes: first microphone located on perimeter of each earcup, when first earcup is worn on user's right ear first microphone of first earcup is at location farthest from user's mouth when headphone is worn in normal wear position; second microphone located on perimeter of each earcup, when first earcup is worn on user's right ear, second microphone of first earcup is at location closer than first microphone of first earcup to user's mouth; third microphone located inside each earcup facing user's ear cavity, fourth microphone located at perimeter and bottom center portion of each earcup and facing exterior of each earcup, and fifth microphone located on perimeter of each earcup above and to left of second microphone when looking at outside housing of each earcup.

Abstract: Digital signal processing techniques for automatically reducing audible noise from a sound recording that contains speech. A noise suppression system uses two types of noise estimators, including a more aggressive one and less aggressive one. Decisions are made on how to select or combine their outputs into a usable noise estimate in a different speech and noise conditions. A 2-channel noise estimator is described. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Method of improving voice quality using a wireless headset with untethered earbuds starts by receiving first acoustic signal from first microphone included in first untethered earbud and receiving second acoustic signal from second microphone included in second untethered earbud. First inertial sensor output is received from first inertial sensor included in first earbud and second inertial sensor output is received from second inertial sensor included in second earbud. First earbud processes first noise/wind level captured by first microphone, first acoustic signal and first inertial sensor output and second earbud processes second noise/wind level captured by second microphone, second acoustic signal, and second inertial sensor output. First and second noise/wind levels and first and second inertial sensor outputs are communicated between the earbuds. First earbud transmits first acoustic signal and first inertial sensor output when first noise and wind level is lower than second noise/wind level. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: An audio system has a housing in which are integrated a number of microphones. A programmed processor accesses the microphone signals and produces a number of acoustic pick up beams based groups of microphones, an estimation of voice activity and an estimation of noise characteristics on each beam. Two or more beams including a voice beam that is used to pick up a desired voice and a noise beam that is used to provide information to estimate ambient noise are adaptively selected from among the plurality of beams, based on thresholds for voice separation and thresholds for noise-matching. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
