IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2007-10-26
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a communication system includes a first terminal connected to an IP network and communicates with a second terminal through the IP network and a server apparatus including a controller that controls a communication between the first and second terminals. The first terminal includes a transmitter that transmits an instruction data for activating an additional function in response to a request operation for activating the additional function while the first terminal communicates with the second terminal. The controller of the server apparatus analyses a received data by the server apparatus. When it is analysed that the received data includes the instruction data for activating the additional function, the controller performs the additional function based on the instruction data. Suitable for a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) environment.

Title: Touch sensitive display with an actuator grid providing soft key feedback
Inventor: MAY JOHN
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2008-08-27
Abstract: A touch sensitive display 1 has a flexible touch sensitive layer 4, a flexible display screen 5 and a haptic feedback mechanism formed from a grid of adaptably configurable actuators 7 where some rise as a block to form a soft key, button or control area to give initial feedback, and lower and rise again or vibrate to give reactive feedback when a touch is detected. Energy may be saved by not energising the actuators when the user is touching a part of the screen away from the button. A controller can distinguish between a sliding touch and a press, and can store pre-defined actuator patterns for keys. The display can be part of e,g a music player, PDA, or camera.

Title: Audio signal data embedding using echo polarity
Inventor: KELLY PETER JOHN
IPC: G10L19/018
Filed: 2008-11-28
Abstract: A method for embedding a data value in an audio signal comprises generating an echo of the audio signal, the echo polarity varying depending on the data value; associated data recovery methods, and apparatus means, are also independently claimed. First and second echoes, having respective first and second polarities, may be generated and combined with the audio signal; echoes may be generated by repeating audio signal portions. Data values may be represented by positive and negative (opposite) echoes having different delays. The polarity of gain factors applied to echoes may be inverted before echoes are combined with the audio signal. Echoes may be faded in and out to reduce obtrusiveness to the listener. The described data hiding can be used for watermarking, data communications, and audience surveying. The effects of natural echoes and/or periodicities in the audio signal can be removed by differencing measurements obtained at the different delays.

Title: An Improved Vacuum Engine or Motor applicable also as a Pulsator for Milking Machines.
IPC: A01J5/10
Filed: 1917-07-14
Abstract: 117,306. Auto Milking Machine Co., and Jobson, W. July 14, 1917. Vacuum engines to be employed in cow-milking or other apparatus in which pulsations of air pressure are required, or for other purposes such as for actuating a pump. The apparatus is of the kind in which a pair of differential pistons such as A<1>, B' on the same piston-rod C work in alined cylinders A, B with closed outer ends and open inner ends, the outer end of the smaller cylinder A being continuously in connexion with vacuum through a pipe E and the alternate admission of air and vacuum to the outer end of the larger cylinder B being controlled by an auxiliary piston-valve cylinder F. According to the invention, the cylinder F contains three pistons J, J<1>, J<2> on a piston-rod K, and the spaces on either side of the central piston J<1> alternately connect the outer end of the larger main cylinder B with air and vacuum through a passage M. A bore in the main piston-rod C extends from the vacuum space in the smaller cylinder A to a radial passage D in the larger piston B<1>, and one end J of the valve cylinder is connected to vacuum through the radial passage D, by means of a pipe H, when the piston of the main cylinder B is at the upper limit of its stroke, as shown in Fig. 1. The other end of the valve cylinder F is connected to a pipe G having an outlet in the side of the cylinder A, so that the alternate admission of air and vacuum to this end is regulated by the movement of the piston A<1>. The space between the valve pistons J, J<1> is open to air through an inlet N, whilst the space between the pistons J', J<2> is connected by a pipe O to the vacuum source. The rapidity of the action is controlled by a stop-cock M'. The device shown in Fig. 1 is utilized for actuating a pump, a crosshead P being attached to the piston-rod C. In Fig. 2 the device is mounted on the cover of a milkpail, and serves as a pulsator, the annular chamber R', with pipe connexions S leading to the teat cups, being alternately connected to air and vacuum through ports R, as the piston A' moves up and down in the cylinder. The relation of the air and vacuum periods in the pulsator is determined by the position of the ports R, a long pull and a quick release in the teat cups being obtained by arranging the ports towards the lower limit of the piston stroke. In this arrangement the vacuum pipe E leads from the exhausted milk-pail U.
