Title: Bass reflex loudspeaker has acoustic leakage in walls of port duct
Inventor: DODD MARK ALEXANDER
IPC: H04R1/28
Filed: 2011-03-02
Abstract: The bass reflex loudspeaker has a port tube 100 with an acoustic leakage path through a motile or moveable part thereof which is frequency-dependent. The tube walls may expand and contract (fig 3). The motile part may comprise a felt wall 110 or a corrugated wall (fig 5) or a diaphragm over a hole in the tube wall. At relatively low frequencies (corresponding to Helmholtz resonance), the leakage path has a relatively high acoustic impedance; at relatively high frequencies (corresponding to longitudinal resonances), the leakage path has a relatively low acoustic impedance. In this way longitudinal tube resonances are damped as their energy at higher frequencies is radiated transversely through the port tube walls rather than contributing to the output of the loudspeaker itself.

Title: Provising method and system
Inventor: LI XUEJUN
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2008-11-19
Abstract: A method and system of provisioning one or more Network Elements, as well as a method and apparatus for resuming a failed Customer Service Order for provisioning one or more Network Elements, is disclosed. A provisioning logic framework receives a Customer Service Order CSO from a Business Support System, calls respective provisioning logic for performing said Customer Service Order and detects if the received Customer Service Order is a CSO to be resumed. During the performing time of said Customer Service Order, historical processing data is stored. If it is detected that the received Customer Service Order is a CSO to be resumed, the provisioning logic framework builds up a fake enviromnent on the basis of historical processing data stored previously for the CSO to be resumed. Then the successful part of the CSO is directed to the fake environment and the uncompleted part of the CSO is directed to actual Network elements.

Title: Autoinjector activation involving piercing septum and mixing constituents
Inventor: STAMP KEVIN
IPC: A61M5/19
Filed: 2011-07-19
Abstract: An injection device comprises a container with a septum seal at a distal end, and a needle located distal to the container; wherein the container comprises two chambers each containing a component, the chambers being initially separated from one another by a seal, wherein the device in use provides a septum piercing stage in which the needle pierces the septum, and a mixing stage in which the seal between the chambers is breached to mix the first and second components; and wherein the transition between these stages is controlled by rotational movement of part of the device. Preferably, axial movement of actuating rod 55 towards rear housing 3 causes the cartridge 11 to move forwardly, so the needle pierces the septum. Lugs 45 of cartridge housing 40 move in inclined slots 84 of front housing 80 (see figure 14), causing rotation. Lugs 50 on slip ring 46 are then in alignment with slots 60 on actuating rod 55 (see figure 11) which uncouples rod 55 from the cartridge housing 40, and further movement of rod 55 advances piston 21 (see figure 2) and mixes the components.

Title: Wireless illumination controller having lowest power setting
Inventor: CHEN WEN-LIN
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2011-12-30
Abstract: A wireless illumination controller with the function to set the lowest driving power includes a microprocessor 10, a driver 20, an illumination control switch 30, and a wireless receiving module 40. The microprocessor is built in with an adjustable lowest power and connected with the driver, the illumination control switch, the wireless receiving module and a power processing module 50. The illumination control switch is used to set the lowest power of the microprocessor. After the wireless receiving module receives a wireless illumination adjustment command, the power of the driving signal output from the driver is controlled to be not lower than the lowest power. Therefore, when a user adjusts the illumination, the driving power is never lower than the lowest driving power of the corresponding light bulb, thereby avoiding flickering.

Title: Adjustable bicycle bench seat
Inventor: PHYTHIAN STEPHEN
IPC: B62J1/04
Filed: 2012-06-29
Abstract: An adjustable bicycle bench seat 80 having a substantially planar seating area 90 for use in place of a conventional saddle, and in which the seating area 90 is optimally positioned for target users and adjustable in that positioning. Adjustment is by means of rotation of a support arm 130 around a pivot member 270 attached to a collar 200 for attachment to a conventional seatpost 20 of a bicycle 10. The support arm 130 allows the seating area 90 to be rearward of the seat tube 30 and angled relative to horizontal. The seat may be rotated forwards for storage (figure 4). The adjustable bicycle bench seat is intended for use as a direct replacement for a conventional saddle in a conventional upright bicycle for use particularly by people of high BMI. The seat of the present invention allowing ready mounting and dismounting of the seat as well as convenient geometry to allow a pedalling action whilst being supported by a predominantly flat seating area, thus avoiding high-pressure presented by a conventional saddle and particularly disadvantageous for a person of high BMI.

Title: Network testing
Inventor: BEAUMONT STEPHEN CHARLES
IPC: H04B3/46
Filed: 2011-05-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of testing a transmission line from a copper access network. The transmission line is tested to generate values for a plurality of network parameters. Using previously determined test results, it is possible to calculate an estimate of the length of the transmission line based on the values of each of the measured parameters. These estimates of the transmission line length can then be used to compute a weighted average of the transmission line length. An inference of the condition of the transmission line can be made by comparing the estimates of the length of the transmission line with the weighted average length.

Title: Selecting a colour matching profile to increase the vividness of an image
Inventor: IDO YOKO
IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 2013-05-29
Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a color conversion unit to perform color conversion based on an input instruction by using a given color matching profile, and a display unit configured to display a message. In the case where a color difference between the image on which color conversion has been performed by using a first color matching profile and the image on which color conversion has been performed by using a second color matching profile is less than a color matching threshold value S1405, the message S1408 indicates that the colour conversion has little effect on the vividness of the image. The second colour matching profile may be selected by the user from a list of various preset profiles. Preferably, the image is displayed emphasizing a region of the image where the colour difference between using a first and second profile is less than the threshold. Optionally, the system also allows further colour, contrast or brightness adjustment.

Inventor: GERHARDT JIM
IPC: F16D41/24
Filed: 2014-02-11
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bicycle hub that provides improved drive line efficiency and bike-to-rider torque feedback. The drive line efficiencies are due to lower rolling resistance resulting from a novel bearing and sprag clutch configuration, a lightweight design, and immediate torque transfer from the cassette drive to the hub body. The bike-to-rider feedback has been improved as the torque transfer is smooth, predictable, and immediate.
