Title: Consumer audio system and method using adaptive intelligence to distinguish information content of audio signals and to control signal processing function
Inventor: CHAPMAN KEITH L
IPC: G10H1/02
Filed: 2012-04-23
Abstract: A consumer audio system comprising a signal processor coupled for receiving an audio signal, wherein dynamic content of the audio signal controls operation of the signal processor. The audio signal is sampled into a plurality of frames. The sampled audio frames are separated into sub-frames according to the type or frequency content of the sound generating source. A time domain processor generates time domain parameters from the separated sub-frames. A frequency domain processor generates frequency domain parameters from the separated sub-frames. The time domain processor or frequency domain processor can detects onset of a note of the audio signal. A signature database has signature records each having time domain parameters and frequency domain parameters and control parameters. A recognition detector matches the time domain parameters and frequency domain parameters of the separated sub-frames to a signature record of the signature database. The control parameters of the matching signature record control operation of the signal processor.

Title: Boiler control system and method
Inventor: COPE DEREK
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 2013-05-28
Abstract: The boiler control system controls a heating device in a boiler 1, such as a burner 2. A delayed cycle controller 20 activates and deactivates the burner based upon an upper target temperature and a lower target temperature, which are ideally set 3ËC below respective internal upper and lower temperature thresholds of an internal thermostat of the boiler. A temperature sensor 22 measures a boiler temperature and can compare this with the upper and lower target temperatures. An interrupt switch, ideally a relay 28, is arranged to selectively prevent an enable signal 26 from reaching the burner. Preferably the enable signal is from a building management system (BMS) 24 and is barred from reaching the burner by the relay until the boiler temperature measured by the sensor falls to the lower target temperature. The lower target allows residual heat in the boiler to be used before the burner is fired, increasing boiler efficiency. The system may perform a calibration operation whereby the controller monitors normal boiler operation to determine the internal upper and lower temperature thresholds. Using these, the controller can set the upper and lower target temperatures. A method is also claimed.

Title: Apparatus, systems, and methods for providing policy in network-based applications
Inventor: BRANTON PAUL KEITH
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2014-05-13
Abstract: A method is described of preventing a user from disabling a software extension for a network-based application, thereby allowing a computing device to enforce the software extension even if the user wants to disable the software extension. The user is prevented from disabling a software extension by blocking an access to a communications network via the network-based application when the related software extension is disabled. To allow the network-based application 202, such as a browser, to access the network, e.g. internet, the application must be running a related software extension 204, such as a browser plug-in or add-on. A check is made by the server 104 to determine the status of the required software extension before allowing or denying access for the application to the network. One embodiment works to ensure that a parental control-type plug-in for a browser is active/enabled before allowing the browser to connect to the internet. A software extension may alternatively relate to a required patch for the application. The server may check a status table 210 to determine the state of the software extension. The application may be identified by a process identifier and the related software extension by a socket identifier and comparison of the length of related arrays of identifiers may be used to determine whether the required extensions are enabled (Figures 3 & 5).

Title: CB fly tying vice 07/14
Inventor: BROWN CHRISTOPHER ALAN
IPC: A01K97/28
Filed: 2014-08-05
Abstract: A fly tying vice may comprise a cylindrical body inside which a plunger 1, seals 4 and 5 move along a bore containing hydraulic fluid 6. At one end the body a thumbwheel 2 is attached to the plunger 1 whilst at the opposing end of the body a movable clamp 8, having wedge shaped jaws 11 is situated. Seals prevent fluid leakage around the base of the clamp. Rotation of the thumbwheel in one direction causes the plunger to move along the bore, pressurising the fluid 6 and thus forcing the clamp 7 towards a fixed anvil 9. This causes slot 10 to reduce in size. Revering the direction of the thumbwheel causes the slot to increase in size, thus hooks of varying sizes can be held within the jaws. In an alternative embodiment, see figure 2 the vice may be opened and closed using a conventional screw thread. In a further embodiment the vice may be incorporated into a stand that also incorporated an adjustable column, a base and a means to hold or store accessories such as cotton, twine, hooks etc, see figure 3.
