The present disclosure relates to circuitry comprising: digital circuitry configured to generate a digital output signal; and monitoring circuitry configured to monitor a supply voltage to the digital circuitry and to output a control signal for controlling operation of the digital circuitry, wherein the control signal is based on the supply voltage.

Driver circuitry

The present disclosure relates to a chip scale package (CSP) comprising: a first set of CSP contact balls or bumps; a second set of CSP contact balls or bumps; and a channel routing region, the channel routing region being devoid of any CSP contact balls or bumps.

Chip scale package

The present disclosure relates to circuitry comprising: pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuitry configured to generate a PWM output signal; and monitoring circuitry configured to monitor a supply voltage to the PWM circuitry and to output a control signal for controlling operation of the PWM circuitry, wherein the control signal is based on the supply voltage.

PWM circuitry

An operating method for an electronic device comprising the steps of: monitoring a far-field proximity sensor of the electronic device for far-field detection of a user approach; responsive to said far-field detection, monitoring a near-field proximity sensor of the electronic device for near-field detection of a user approach; and responsive to said far-field detection and/or said near-field detection, providing a visual indication of an interaction zone for the electronic device.

Method and system for an electronic device

Circuits for monitoring a socket are disclosed, including a circuit comprising a first node arranged to be electrically connected to a first pole of an electrical plug when the electrical plug is inserted into a corresponding socket, a second node arranged to be connected to a first voltage, wherein the first node is arranged to be connected to the first pole when the electrical plug is inserted into the socket, a variable resistance connected between the first node and a third node, wherein the third node is arranged to receive a second voltage, detection circuit arranged to detect the presence of the electrical plug or moisture in the socket based on a voltage at the first node, and a control circuit arranged to control the variable resistance to a first resistance value and, in response to the detection circuit detecting the presence of the electrical plug or moisture in the socket when the variable resistance is at the first resistance value, to a second resistance value, whereby the detection circuit distinguishes between the electrical plug and moisture within the socket.

Circuit for monitoring a socket

A device () for connection to an audio accessory () comprising: a jack socket () for connection to a jack plug () of the audio accessory (), a ground connection to a first socket contact () which is positioned to mate with a ground return pole of the plug (). The jack socket () comprises a second contact () also positioned to mate with the ground return pole of the plug (). Driver amplifiers () comprise an input coupled to the second contact () and are configured to superimpose a signal present at the second contact () onto received speaker signal. It may achieve reducing the crosstalk which could distort or blur the stereo image.

Audio connector and circuitry

A computing device has an input configured to receive data captured by at least one capture device where the data depicts at least part of an object moving in an environment. The computing device has a tracker configured to track a real-world position and orientation of the object using the captured data. A processor at the computing device is configured to compute and output feedback about performance of the tracker, where the feedback encourages a user to adjust movement of the object for improved tracking of the object by the tracker.

Feedback for object pose tracker

A tracker is described which comprises an input configured to receive captured sensor data depicting an object. The tracker has a processor configured to access a rigged, smooth-surface model of the object and to compute values of pose parameters of the model by calculating an optimization to fit the model to data related to the captured sensor data. Variables representing correspondences between the data and the model are included in the optimization jointly with the pose parameters.

Tracking rigged smooth-surface models of articulated objects

Examples describe an apparatus for calibrating a three dimensional (3D) mesh model of an articulated object. The articulated object is an instance of a specified object class. The apparatus comprises an input configured to receive captured sensor data depicting the object. The apparatus has a calibration engine configured to compute values of shape parameters of the 3D mesh model which indicate which member of the object class is depicted in the captured sensor data, in order to calibrate the 3D mesh model. The calibration engine is configured to compute the values of the shape parameters with an optimization process to find at least one potential local or global minimum of an energy function, the energy function expressing a degree of similarity between data rendered from the model and the received sensor data.
