An Innovative Architecture of Full-Digital Microphone Arrays Over A²B Network for Consumer Electronics

An Integrated Platform for Digital Consumer Electronics

This paper describes the architecture of an integrated platform developed for improving the development efficiency of system LSIs built into digital consumer electronics equipment such as flat-panel TVs and optical disc recorders. The reason for developing an integrated platform is to improve the development efficiency of system LSIs that serve the principal functions of the said equipment. The...

Full-duplex communication systems using loudspeaker arrays and microphone arrays

For high-quality multimedia communication systems, such as teleconferencing, or tele-teaching (especially of music), multichannel sound reproduction is highly desirable. While current approaches still rely on a restrained listening area, the sweet spot, a volume solution for a large listening space is offered by the Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) method, where arrays of loudspeakers generate a pres...

Microphone arrays for hearing aids: An overview

Using the difference in the spatial domain (direction or location) between a target signal and noise, a system with a microphone array can achieve the goal of noise reduction and speech enhancement in various environments, especially, in speech-like noisy environments. This paper deals with various issues related to the use of microphone arrays in hearing aids. It includes overall principles, a...

Driving the SoC developments for digital consumer electronics

An Innovative System for Full-Management of CB Using Current Injection Method

In this article, an innovative supervision system will be proposed that can observe and analyze health of Circuit Breaker’s trip coil. The proposed design also logs changes in the coil's quality and informs network supervisor in case of Circuit Breaker (CB) failure. This system injects small direct currents to the Circuit Breaker connections and the trip coil to compute CB’s health and characte...
