Title: Synchronization of motion-sensitive acoustic speakers
Inventor: Alexey Abdulov
IPC: G01S15/58
Filed: 2020-11-30
Abstract: A motion-sensitive acoustic speaker 10 having a housing 11, a transmitter 12, a receiver 13 and an interface component 14 associated with the housing, and a processing device 15. The processing device configured to cause the transmitter to emit a first motion detection signal 17 having an active phase and an idle phase and detect movement in an environment of the primary motion-sensitive acoustic speaker by detecting a response 18. The detection causes a change in a state of the interface component in response to detection of movement in the environment of the motion-sensitive acoustic speaker. Th device is able to detect a presence of a second motion-sensitive acoustic speaker (50, fig 4) in the environment by detecting its motion detection signal. The device determines an idle period associated with the second motion detection signal during which it is not transmitting and causes the transmitter of the motion-sensitive acoustic speaker to emit its signal such that the active phase occurs within the idle period of the second device to avoid crosstalk or interference of the two motion detection signals.

Title: Micro-speaker audio power reproduction system and method with reduced energy use and thermal protection
Inventor: NING LI
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2021-08-11
Abstract: An audio output system provides an output signal to a micro-speaker. Energy reduction and thermal protection is provided by removing components of an input signal from which the output signal is generated, so that the audio power output system does not expend power reproducing portions of the audio information that would not be perceived by a listener. The micro-speaker has a resonant frequency such that substantial content of the audio information lies below the resonant frequency. A processing subsystem receives the audio information and generates the output signal by filtering the audio information with a response simulating the micro-speaker and an acoustic path to the listener and comparing the filtered audio information with a frequency-dependent threshold of hearing. The processing subsystem then removes inaudible portions of the audio information that have an amplitude below the frequency-dependent threshold of hearing.

Abstract: A method for calibrating one or more heat sources in an apparatus for the layer-by-layer manufacture of a 3D object from particulate material comprises: the layer cycle steps of (a) distributing a layer of particulate material over a build bed along a first direction; (b) heating the layer by operating a first heat source at a first input power profile along the first direction; (c) measuring a first set of temperatures using a thermal sensor; (d) depositing absorption modifier over regions; (e) heating each region by operating the first or a second heat source at a second input power profile extending along the first direction, and (f) measuring a second set of temperatures. The layer cycle is repeated for a number of layers, at respective pairs of first and second input power profiles, each pair being different. Based on a first and second target temperature and from the first and second sets of temperatures for each pair at least one of a respective adjusted first and second input power profile is determined, such that, when applied during a subsequent layer cycle, causes a subsequent measured first and second set of temperatures within a first and second range of the target temperatures, and such that the first and second ranges are reduced over those measured for each of the calibration layers. Further provided is a controller for carrying out the method and an apparatus for the layer by layer manufacture of a 3D object from particulate material comprising the controller.

Title: Internal imaging and model construction
Inventor: STEEN AGERLIN PETERSEN
IPC: G01V99/00
Filed: 2022-07-05
Abstract: A method of obtaining a three-dimensional model of a current sub-surface formation comprises obtaining three-dimensional measurement data (e.g. seismic, downhole) for a regular three-dimensional grid of indexed locations. For a given set of geological processes (e.g. faulting, collapsing, injection compression, extension), a backward sequence of corresponding inverse geological processes is obtained which, when the backward sequence is applied to the treated data, transform the data into representative survey data representative of the sub-surface formation at a time of its formation. A three-dimensional model of the sub-surface formation is derived at a time of its formation, the model comprising material properties (e.g. acoustic impedance) at each the indexed locations. The geological processes are applied to the derived three-dimensional model, in a forward sequence to obtain a current model of the sub-surface formation. The geological processes and their inverses are defined as a linear (e.g. vertical, horizontal) or rotational shift, or combination of such shifts, of the measurement data or material properties between the indexed locations.
