摘要： A signal processing apparatus for processing data digital signals is disclosed. The signal processing apparatus includes a high-efficiency power switching amplifier that optimizes processing during low-power applications. A signal equalizer is further coupled to the power switching amplifier and has a plurality of signal bands for defining equalization characteristic desired for the signal processing system. A gain control unit is coupled to the signal equalizer for adjusting gain of the equalized input signal handled by the signal equalizer. Lastly, a digital amplitude compressor is coupled to the gain controller and the power switching amplifier and is programmable so as to compress only those signals having an amplitude greater than a first threshold level without compressing those signals that fall below that first threshold level. Typically, low-power applications cover wattage ranging from two to seven watts of power.

摘要： Custom designed polar patterns for a microphone of a portable computer are achieved. A custom designed polar pattern permits a microphone in a portable computer to suppress sources of spatially-dependent noise internal and external to a portable computer system. A custom designed polar pattern is generated by specially configuring the boot of a microphone by varying the hole sizes of the boot and/or varying location of the microphone element in the boot. In addition, the shape of a particular polar pattern may be adjusted by inserting acoustic absorption material into the boot, forming enclosed walls into the boot, or rotating the top shell of the portable computer which contains the microphone relative to the bottom shell of the portable computer. Thus, a directional response of a microphone may be form-fitted to a particular portable computer configuration.

摘要： A high voltage flyback power supply provides slope-based primary feedback to control the off-time of the power supply. When a negative slope is detected at a low side of a primary winding of the power supply, an off-time cycle is terminated and a next on-time cycle is initiated. The slope-based off-time primary feedback helps to keep the off-time of the power supply in sync with ringing of the primary leakage inductance and the primary-side capacitance of the power supply. Such a power supply is particularly useful for battery-powered systems with low voltage rails. The power supply can also include on-time feedback to shorten the on-time of the power supply after the secondary-side voltage rises beyond a certain relatively high voltage level. In this way, the transformer of the power supply is charged less when the power supply is driving relatively light loads.
摘要翻译：高电压回扫电源提供基于斜率的初级反馈来控制电源的关闭时间。当在电源的初级绕组的低侧检测到负斜率时，停止关闭时间循环并且开始下一个接通时间周期。基于斜率的关断时间主反馈有助于保持电源的关闭时间与主要漏电感和电源的初级侧电容的振铃同步。这种电源对于具有低电压轨的电池供电的系统特别有用。电源还可以包括准时反馈，以在次级侧电压升高超过某个相对高的电压电平之后缩短电源的接通时间。这样，当电源驱动相对较轻的负载时，电源的变压器充电较少。

摘要： A speaker system for use in a thin film video monitor apparatus is disclosed. The video monitor apparatus includes a thin film video display panel as well as a stiffening panel adjacent to the thin film video display panel. Next, a plurality of piezo speaker transducers are attached to one of the sides of the stiffening panel. The stiffening panel typically is composed of a material such as aluminum honeycomb sheets or a polycarbonate sheet. Other materials for use as the stiffener may include magnesium shells or ABS plastic. The speakers are defined so that a first sound channel and a second sound channel are provided, and these sound channels can define a left and right channel for proper stereo imaging. Between the video monitor and the stiffening panel is located an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield. Further, a transmission line is provided to connect a first piezo transducer to a second piezo transducer in such a way so that frequency overlap can occur between the two transducers based upon the transmission line distance defined for the first piezo transducer and for the second piezo transducer. Further, the transmission line may have the same distance between both speakers where frequency overlap is not a concern. The stiffening panel is provided to increase the mobile energy in the lower frequencies during operation.

摘要： A desktop computer which has a driver mounted in the back wall of the chassis. The chassis is acoustically a very leaky box, so the driver is designed as if it were a free-space driver (using large cone area and long throw). In one class of embodiments, a single driver is used, and is centered in the back of the box so that there is an equal left-right split, although not true stereo. The front of the box may be made more acoustically leaky to move the acoustic image forward. The treatment of the box as being acoustically leaky means that the airflow required for thermal management has not been restricted. The use of a long-throw driver permits the volume-velocity of the driver to be increased. Treatment of the box as very leaky also means that no user changes or custom configurations will significantly disturb the expected acoustic environment. An audio system incorporating a free-space driver with an equalizer designed for use with a free-space driver further improves acoustic quality. Gain staging may also be used to improve acoustic quality of the audio system.

摘要： A method and apparatus for controlling acoustic gain during a non-speakerphone audio mode of computer system independent of acoustic gain during a speakerphone mode of the computer system is provided. The BIOS code of the computer system detects whether the computer system is in a speakerphone mode or a non-speakerphone audio mode. If the computer system is in a speakerphone mode, an upper gain limit is not applied to the microphone path of the computer system. If the computer system is in a non-speakerphone audio mode, a predetermined upper gain limit is applied to the microphone path of the computer system. The predetermined upper gain limit is preferably applied to the microphone path at either a microphone pre-amplifier or an audio mixer chip in the microphone path of the computer system.

摘要： A laptop computer is disclosed that includes an improved audio speaker system. The laptop computer typically is designed to have a first shell and a second shell that are attached together. Typically located within the first shell are a central processing unit, a keyboard, and other circuits such as a battery, a hard disk storage, and other connectors such as a PCMCIA slot. A video monitor is typically located in the second shell of the laptop computer and is coupled to the central processing unit via a system bust, or a video driver is provided that may be subsequently coupled to the CPU, such that the video driver drives the video monitor. Then, an audio speaker system is provided that in one embodiment is mounted in a back portion of the second shell that is located opposite the video monitor. This audio speaker system includes a transmission line comprising a first piezo speaker and a second piezo speaker. The transmission line is set at such a distance so that the first piezo speaker can cover a selected range of frequencies while the second piezo speaker is set at a second distance in such a manner as to skew the frequency response between the first piezo speaker and the second piezo speaker, thereby providing frequency overlap to occur between the two speakers.
