A hermaphroditic electrical connector having a first connector half and a second connector half configured to mate with one another. Each of the connector halves includes a housing, a first projection, a second projection, and a central protrusion. The housing includes a first side, an opposite second side, a top side, and an opposite bottom side. The first projection extends from the first side of the housing proximate to the top side of the housing. The second projection extends from the first side of the housing proximate to the top side of the housing such that the first and second projections are spaced from one another by a slot. The central protrusion extends from the first side of the housing proximate to the bottom side of housing.

Presented herein is an audio endpoint for telecommunication operations, sometimes referred to herein as a 'telecommunications audio endpoint' or, more, simply as an 'audio endpoint.' According to at least one example, the audio endpoint presented herein includes a base, a speaker, a speaker waveguide, a microphone waveguide, and two or more microphones. The base is configured to engage a support surface (i.e., a table) and the speaker is configured to emit sounds (i.e., fire) in a direction of the base. The speaker waveguide is disposed between the speaker and the microphone waveguide, while the microphone waveguide is disposed between the speaker waveguide and the base. The two or more microphones are disposed within the microphone waveguide and are proximate to the base. In general, the speaker waveguide is configured to guide sounds output by the speaker in general radially (outward) directions.

In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a first signal from a first microphone, and determining when the first signal is indicative of activity on a first surface. The method also includes controlling a camera to focus on the first surface when it is determined that the first signal indicates the activity on the first surface. In such an embodiment, the first microphone and the camera may be part of a collaboration system, and the first surface may be a surface of a whiteboard.
