Title: Dynamic range control
Inventor: BALDWIN STEPHEN
IPC: H03G7/00
Filed: 2011-09-22
Abstract: A method for adjusting dynamic range of an audio signal comprises providing an input audio signal with a first dynamic range, mapping the first dynamic range to a second dynamic range using a transfer function 107 with a linear portion aligned to an average level of the input audio signal, and generating an output audio signal with the second dynamic range from the input audio signal.

Title: Locking a multi-fiber push on (MPO) connector
Inventor: LEE CHI KEUNG
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2011-10-31
Abstract: A locking device 100 is provided that is configured to be attached to the MPO connector module 2 and placed in a locking state that prevents the MPO connector module from being decoupled from the receptacle. The locking device 100 is a clip with a U-shaped portion 120 and a tongue (110), configured to be inserted into a keying slot 135 formed in an MPO connector module 2.

Title: Added Layer Manufacture
Inventor: COLEGROVE PAUL
IPC: B23K5/18
Filed: 2012-05-30
Abstract: A method of producing a 3D article by additive-layer manufacture is provided. The method includes the steps of: depositing and fusing a layer of material on a substrate or on a previously fused layer of material; and repeating the depositing and fusing step to build up successive layers of material, and thereby produce the 3D article. The method further includes performing one or more times the step of: plastically deforming under compressive loading the most recently fused layer before the next repeat of the depositing step by contacting a loading head to the most recently fused layer and moving the loading head thereover while maintaining the contact. In the deforming step, the most recently fused layer at the loading head is preferably constrained from deforming laterally. The loading head may deform the most recently fused layer when that layer has cooled significantly.

Title: Seismic p-wave modelling in an inhomogeneous transversely isotropic medium with a tilted symmetry axis
Inventor: BAKKER PETRUS MARIA
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2011-05-10
Abstract: An improved method for P-wave modeling in inhomogeneous transversely isotropic media with tilted symmetry axis (TTI media), suitable for anisotropic reverse-time migration, is based on an acoustic TI approximation. The resulting wave equations (2.20) & (2.21) are derived directly from first principles, Hooke's law and the equations of motion, and therefore make no assumptions on spatial variation of medium parameters. Like in the acoustic VTI case, the wave equations are written as a set of two second-order partial differential equations. However, unlike in the acoustic VTI case, the acoustic TTI wave equations contain mixed second-order derivatives. The discretisation scheme uses centered finite-difference operators for first-and second-order derivative operators to approximate the mixed and non-mixed second-order derivatives in the wave equation. The discretization scheme is stabilized by slightly weighing down the mixed derivatives, with almost negligible effect on the wave field kinematics.

Patent GB-2504886-A (GB)
Title: Absorbent article containing apertures arranged in registration with an embossed wave pattern
Inventor: CHOO PRISCILLA GOH ENG
IPC: A61F13/475
Filed: 2012-04-13
Abstract: An absorbent article that contains a topsheet having embossed regions is provided. The embossed regions propagate in a longitudinal direction of the article in the form of a wave having one or more alternating crests (peaks) and troughs (valleys). Such a wave pattern helps slow down the flow of bodily fluid by directing it along a tortuous path defined by the densified edges rather than in a straight line. Among other things, this reduction in flow rate can help provide sufficient time for the absorbent core to absorb the fluid, which is particularly helpful when it is already partially filled with fluid. Nevertheless, bodily fluids can still sometimes pool near the crests and/or troughs and result in leakage. To help counteract this tendency, the present inventors have discovered that a plurality of apertures can be employed in the topsheet that are arranged in a column that generally extends in a longitudinal direction of the article. At least a portion of the apertures are located proximate to contiguous crests and/or contiguous troughs of the embossed region. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the registration of the apertures with contiguous crests and/or contiguous troughs of the embossed region puts them in a better position to receive bodily fluids that tend to pool around the embossed regions and thus reduce the likelihood of leakage.
