Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product enhance audio quality during a voice communication session, such as by enhancing audio quality for a remote participant in a meeting. In a method and for each of two or more microphones of a first device at a first location, a target audio signal is generated that has been steered in a direction of a target audio source in order to provide at least partial isolation from a second audio source in the same environment. The method also produces a filtered audio signal based on the target audio source at least from a respective one of the two or more microphones. The method also includes mixing the filtered audio signal from at least the first device to create an audio output signal associated with an audio playback format and causing the audio output signal to be output by a second device.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, method and computer program product determine the location of a receiver, such as one or more sensors, carried by a device, e.g., a robot. In a method, an audio signal is received in response to a predetermined audio signal provided by at least two audio source devices. For the audio signal that is received from a respective audio source device, the method estimates a first impulse response between the respective audio source device and the receiver. For the first impulse response estimated between each respective audio source device of the at least two audio source devices and the receiver, the method removes one or more reflections from the first impulse response to create direct path information. The method also includes determining a location of the receiver based at least in part upon the direct path information.

Abstract: A speaker apparatus is provided in order to both receive and dissipate heat and to provide acoustic absorption for sound waves propagating through a speaker cavity. The speaker apparatus includes a speaker and a speaker cavity configured to receive sound waves emitted by the speaker for propagation through the speaker cavity. The speaker apparatus also includes a heat dissipation structure disposed at least partially within the speaker cavity. The heat dissipation structure includes a heat pipe or a heat sink configured to receive heat from a component that generates heat. The heat dissipation structure is configured to provide acoustic absorption for the sound waves propagating through the speaker cavity.
