Abstract: A personal voice model is created using a person's voice, essentially, voice cloning. When user wants to send a message to another person from his mobile phone or similar device, the user types the message and it is converted to a speech message using the voice model created. The speech message is delivered either to a voicemail or another medium which accepts a voice message. The text can be converted to a different language as well and send a voice message in a different language.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a license plate frame. A processor is configured with instructions executable to present changing messages on the license plate frame. The processor may receive images of other vehicles and send a signal to a server pertaining the number of views of a message based on analysis of the images.

Abstract: An assembly includes a head mount such as smart glasses wearable on a head of a user. An imager is on the head mount and is configured to generate images of objects. A processor accesses the images responsive to a query and presents images of objects on a display of the head mount to assist the user in identifying, for example, where a lost object was last seen.

Abstract: A personalized HRTF is generated from a generic HRTF by having a person don headphones, then select a generic HRTF model from a list. Test signals emulating sounds from a source at a specific virtual speaker location are played on the headphones, and the person indicates where he thinks the emulated sounds are coming from. Any difference between the virtual speaker location and the “heard” location is used to adjust the parameters (amplitude, phase, and frequency response) of the generic HRTF to render a HRTF personalized to the listening person.

Abstract: A camera based depth mapping system. Depth information is coded with colors to make a laser-generated 3D depth map easier to interpret. In the event that the laser illumination is not sufficient, the depth information can have a low signal to noise ratio, i.e., the depth map can be noisy. Color noise reduction techniques are used to alleviate this problem.

Abstract: A micro mirror assembly widens the field of view (FOV) of a 3D depth map sensor, alleviating the limitation of limited laser illumination power and limitations on the resolution of the available imaging device.

Abstract: An assembly includes a display configured to present video, a first head mount such as smart glasses wearable on a head of a first user, and a second head mount wearable on a head of a second user. A processor is configured to send closed captioning (CC) in a first language to the first head mount for presentation thereon while the first user is viewing the video on the display, and to send the CC in a second language to the second head mount for presentation thereon while the second user is viewing the video on the display.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to automated equalizer adjustments based on audio characteristics. In some implementations, a method includes detecting music that is being currently played on an audio device. The method further includes adjusting one or more equalizer settings of an equalizer device based at least in part on a music genre associated with the music. The method further includes outputting the music based at least in part on the adjusting of the one or more equalizer settings of the equalizer device.

Abstract: Multiple camera systems which use laser illumination for ranging benefit from a heartbeat to synchronize the timing of the individual lasers to eliminate collisions of multiple simultaneous laser emissions. An optical micromesh system provides for the dynamic entry and egress of mobile and stationary nodes. The optical communication between nodes may be controlled using time domain multiplexing (TDM) to avoid cross talk and communication collision due to overlapping laser illumination. By using an optical, laser based micromesh network, laser ranging can be used to dynamically map node location.
