Title: Scroll compressor with hot oil temperature responsive relief of back pressure
Inventor: PATEL TAPESH P
IPC: F04C28/28
Filed: 2005-04-05
Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a protection device having a valve 59 movable between a position blocking flow from the back pressure chamber 42 into the suction chamber 28 and a position allowing flow. The valve may be bimetallic and movable according to oil temperature in oil return line 50.

Title: Control of music processing
Inventor: EASTMAN PAUL
IPC: H04H60/04
Filed: 2006-01-10
Abstract: Music processing software such the virtual studio system available through known systems such as Logic Pro are intended for studio recording sessions. The software can have a number of project setups stored to be selected for particular songs or performances. Changing between stored setups requires an operator to close down one setup and load a different stored setup. This is unsuitable for live on-stage performance. The invention uses MIDI control messages from, e.g. a performer's keyboard, to effect the changeover. Extra software detects the MIDI Programme change messages and instructs the music software automatically to close one project and launch a new project.
