    Abstract: Headset assemblies and systems for mobile application control and power savings are provided. Headset assembly includes headband with proximity sensor activation element and receiver assembly configured to be rotated with respect to the headband between a first position and a second position. Receiver assembly has memory, proximity sensor, processor communicatively coupled to memory and proximity sensor, microphone boom having first and second ends, and microphone located adjacent first end and speaker located adjacent second end. Processor comprises PIO port. Proximity sensor activation element is positioned to trigger proximity sensor to activate PIO port when receiver assembly is rotated to the second position and to deactivate PIO port when receiver assembly is rotated to first position. Proximity sensor is configured to transmit at least one signal representing receiver assembly position.

    Abstract: A system directs boom microphone placement. A microphone is configured to capture speech audio from a user and output corresponding electrical signals. A proximity sensor is situated adjacent the microphone and configured to produce output signals representative of a distance from the microphone to the user's face or mouth. A headset assembly includes a boom carrying the microphone and the proximity sensor, where the boom can be adjusted to a plurality of positions adjacent the user's face or mouth. Processing circuitry is coupled to receive the output signals from the proximity sensor and produce an output indicative that the microphone is outside a prescribed distance or range of distances from the user's face or mouth.

    Abstract: A self calibrating dipole microphone formed from two omni-directional acoustic sensors. The microphone includes a sound source acoustically coupled to the acoustic sensors and a processor. The sound source is excited with a test signal, exposing the acoustic sensors to acoustic calibration signals. The responses of the acoustic sensors to the calibration signals are compared by the processor, and one or more correction factors determined. Digital filter coefficients are calculated based on the one or more correction factors, and applied to the output signals of the acoustic sensors to compensate for differences in the sensitivities of the acoustic sensors. The filtered signals provide acoustic sensor outputs having matching responses, which are subtractively combined to form the dipole microphone output.
