Title: Thermally responsive protection apparatus for electric motors
Inventor: BERRAY GARY C
IPC: H02K11/00
Filed: 2002-08-09
Abstract: A thermal protection mechanism for electric motors includes a pair of spaced contacts secured to an electrically insulating carrier having a cavity and a surface adjacent to a motor winding. The surface of the carrier has an aperture that forms a thermal passage between the surface of the carrier and the cavity. The contacts are engaged with a fusible electrically conductive pin made of solder that is disposed within the cavity and that interposes along a current path to the windings of a motor. A high winding temperature causes the pin to fuse, thereby terminating operation of the motor. <IMAGE>

Title: Multiple-stage system and method for processing encoded messages
Inventor: LITTLE HERBERT A
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2006-07-18
Abstract: System and methods for processing encoded messages at a message receiver are described. Encoded message processing is performed in multiple stages. In a first stage, a new received message is at least partially decoded by performing any decoding operations that require no user input and a resulting context object is stored in memory, before a user is notified that the new message has been received. When the user accesses the new message, any further required decoding operations are performed on the stored context object in a second stage of processing. The message can subsequently be displayed or otherwise processed relatively quickly, without repeating the first stage decoding operations. Decoding operations may include signature verification, decryption, other types of decoding, or some combination thereof.

Title: System and method for optically imaging objects on a detection device by means of a pinhole aperture
Inventor: DREIBHOLZ JOERG
IPC: G06V10/145
Filed: 2008-07-08
Abstract: Systems and method for optically imaging objects and in particular optical patterns or codes onto a detection device by a pinhole aperture are described. According to an embodiment of the invention these systems have optical attenuation elements between the illumination devices and the object which substantially compensate the system-inherent imaging detects caused by the pinhole aperture and in particular the system-inherent peripheral decrease in brightness of an image of the object formed by a pinhole aperture on the detection device. According to an embodiment of the invention, the optical attenuation elements change the illumination intensity of the object in such a manner that the central areas of the object are illuminated at a lower light intensity than its peripheral areas. As a result of the subsequent imaging of the object by a pinhole aperture, the central areas of the object are imaged onto the detection device at a higher light intensity than the peripheral areas of the object. The superimposition of the two effects enables the imaging system according to the invention to achieve a substantially uniform system-inherent brightness distribution on the detection device.

Patent HK-1014392-A1 (HK)
Title: Voice activity detector
Inventor: BARRETT PAUL ALEXANDER
IPC: G10L25/78
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: Speech is distinguished from noise by a spectral comparison of an input signal with a stored noise estimate. Updating of the noise estimate stored in a buffer is permitted during periods when speech is absent under control of an auxiliary detector. In order to improve operation in the presence of signals with strong harmonic components, e.g., signaling tones, an LPC prediction gain is computed from the input (x(i)) and a residual (y(i)) obtained from the input following filtering by a filter having a response complementary to the frequency spectrum of the input, and if the gain exceeds a threshold, buffer updating is suppressed.
