20130236032 | ADJUSTING A DATA RATE OF A DIGITAL AUDIO STREAM BASED ON DYNAMICALLY DETERMINED AUDIO PLAYBACK SYSTEM CAPABILITIES - A computing device may be configured to output a digital audio stream to an audio playback system for rendering as sound over speakers. The sound may be sampled. Based at least in part on a quality of the sampled sound, the data rate of the digital audio stream may be reduced by reducing a sampling rate and/or by reducing a number of bits per sample. A reduced sampling rate may be determined based on a computed maximum sampling rate of the audio playback system, and/or a reduced number of bits per sample may be determined based on a computed maximum number of bits per sample of the audio playback system. The maximum usable sampling rate and maximum usable number of bits per sample may be determined based on an upper usable frequency within a frequency spectrum of the sampled sound. | 09-12-2013 |

20130162752 | Audio and Video Teleconferencing Using Voiceprints and Face Prints - Provided is a device including one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to periodically match an image of an individual with one of a plurality of stored identities based upon at least one from the group including (i) facial print data and (ii) voice print data. The one or more processors are configured to associate the matched image with an icon representative of the one stored identity. | 06-27-2013 |

20140366399 | CONTOURED INSOLES FOR FOOTWEAR - An insole assembly for use in footwear is provided. The insole assembly generally includes a full-length insole base made of a flexible and resilient material (e.g., resiliently compressible foam), and a heel cap made of a generally rigid material (e.g., a carbon fiber reinforced polymer) which is attached to the insole base and mimics the contours thereof to provide proper biomechanical support of the heel and arch areas of a foot in a particularly lightweight and sleek form factor. | 12-18-2014 |
20160073740 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MAKING CUSTOM ORTHOTICS, INSOLES AND OTHER FOOTWEAR INSERTS - An apparatus to assist in making an orthotic, insole or other footwear insert that is customized to a plantar surface of an individual's foot is provided. The apparatus includes a portable housing; a heater unit to selectively heat the orthotic or a heel cap of the footwear insert to increase its pliability; at least one alignment device to assist in positioning and orientating the individual's foot prior to conforming the orthotic or the heel cap to the plantar surface of the individual's foot; and a vacuum system to selectively apply a vacuum around the individual's foot to bring the orthotic or the heel cap into conformance with the plantar surface of the individual's foot prior to setting of the orthotic or the heel cap. Related methods of making custom orthotics, insoles and other footwear inserts are also provided. | 03-17-2016 |

20160125499 | SHOE AND/OR INSOLE SELECTION SYSTEM - Embodiments are directed towards recommending a shoe and insole combination for a consumer. A variety of shoe information, insole information, and consumer foot information may be determined, which may include heel width, a width or shape, a length, a height, and arch characteristics. The foot information, the shoe information for a plurality of shoes, and the insole information for a plurality of insoles may be compared to determine at least one combination of shoe and insole that is compatible with the consumer's foot. Based on this comparison of foot information, shoe information, and insole information, a recommendation of at least one shoe and insole combination may be determined and provided to a user and/or the consumer. | 05-05-2016 |

20090257611 | System and Method for Reduced Baffle Vibration - A system and method for reducing baffle vibration includes balancing an inertial force generated by two or more moving diaphragms and balancing an acoustic pressure acting on a housing supporting the two or more moving diaphragms such that a net force acting on the baffle is substantially zero. The acoustic force acting on the housing may be balanced independently of the inertial force balance. In another configuration, the acoustic force acting on the housing may be balanced by a non-zero net inertial force. | 10-15-2009 |
