Abstract: Object detection may include transmitting, by a first device, a first pulse into an environment using a wide field configuration of an ultrasonic sensor array, detecting a presence of an object in the environment based on a detected echo based on the first pulse. In response to detecting the presence of the object, a targeted configuration of the ultrasonic sensor array is determined, and a second pulse is transmitted into the environment based on the second pulse, wherein a characteristic of the object is determined based on a detected echo from the second pulse.

Abstract: A system that includes an audio source device configured to obtain audio data of at least one audio channel of a piece of program content. The audio source device has an optical transmitter for transmitting the audio data as an optical signal and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver. The system also includes a wireless earphone that has an optical receiver for receiving the audio data as the optical signal, a RF transceiver for transmitting feedback data indicating a reception quality of the received optical signal at the wireless earphone as a wireless RF signal, and a speaker for outputting the audio data contained within the optical signal and/or the data packets as sound.

Abstract: A head-mounted device includes a device housing, a display device, an optical system, and a headband. The head-mounted device also includes a first headband connector that includes a headband-side connector portion that is connected to the headband at a first end of the headband and a device-side connector portion that is connected to the device housing. The first headband connector is movable between a disconnected position, in which the headband-side connector portion is disconnected from the device-side connector portion, and a connected position, in which the headband-side connector portion is connected to the device-side connector portion. The first headband connector also includes paired magnetic components that are configured to attract the headband-side connector portion and the device-side connector portion to one another to urge the first headband connector to move to the connected position.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for active cancellation of noise in motion sensor signals. In some embodiments, a method comprises: obtaining a motion sensor signal from a motion sensor; obtaining a reference signal indicative of parasitic vibration from a vibration source mechanically coupled to the motion sensor; generating, using an adaptive noise canceller, an estimate of the parasitic vibration; and using the estimated parasitic vibration to cancel the parasitic vibration from the motion sensor signal.

Abstract: Various implementations track an eye using both camera images and light sensor data, e.g., from a photosensitive surface or set of photodetectors. The camera need not capture images at a high capture rate since the light sensor data captured from the light sensor provides information about the eye during the time periods between camera frames. An eye tracking device may thus provide eye tracking with high temporal resolution using less power and resources and prior devices. The eye tracking device includes a lens (e.g., a diffractive optical element (DOE)) that splits received light onto the camera and light sensor. The camera and light sensor may be aligned, e.g., co-centered. Using such a lens to provide light to an aligned camera and light sensor facilitates tracking the eye characteristics by reducing the need for matching the data and/or accounting for multiple environmental light sources.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include a display, a housing, a processor, and a camera module. The camera module can include a lens assembly, an optical sensor, a substrate, and a motion sensor attached to the camera module to determine a motion of the camera module. The processor can be communicatively coupled to the motion sensor, and can generate a signal based on the motion.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels for displaying images. The electronic device may also have a lens through which the images are viewable on the display. The display may have a display panel that is mounted to a printed circuit stack. The printed circuit stack may include multiple printed circuit layers to which components are mounted. The components may include an orientation sensor overlapped by the display panel. A camera may be mounted to a printed circuit stack and may overlap one or more electrical components such as an orientation sensor. The printed circuit stacks may include rigid and flexible printed circuits coupled together using solder and other conductive connections. Air gaps may be created between stacked printed circuit layers.
