Title: Movable barrier operator comprising a movable utility light
Inventor: KARASEK MARK
IPC: E05F15/16
Filed: 2007-03-26
Abstract: A barrier movement operator 10 controls the movement of a movable barrier such as the opening and closing of a garage door 16 and comprises a movable utility light 73. A head unit 24 commands the door 16 to perform moving barrier functions and provides power to the movable utility light 73, both in response to performing of such movable barrier functions and in response to operating either a switch (fig 9, 200) or a sensor (fig 5. 108) that detects movement of the utility light 73 from a position disposed at the head unit 24, such as disengaging it from a hook or magnet. Utility light 73 may either be powered by a cord (fig 7, 102) stored on a reel inside the head unit, or a battery that can be recharged when the light is on the head unit. Barrier movement operator 10 may be operated by radio transmitters 53 and may also comprise: fixed light 72; wall control unit 60; and obstacle detector 78. In addition to functioning as an additional fixed lamp when engaged on head unit 24 utility light 73 allows an operator to selectively illuminate and inspect an area around a vehicle, for example (fig 7).

Title: Powertrain Control System
Inventor: PRINS JAN PIETER
IPC: F02D11/00
Filed: 2004-03-22
Abstract: A system for selecting one of a stored plurality of vehicle throttle responses depending on the type of terrain and for gradually switching over from one characteristic to another characteristic whilst on the move, includes an electronic control unit (6) which controls a throttle butterfly valve arrangement (2, 3, 4). In one embodiment, the control unit (6) is adapted to effect a switch from one throttle response to another within a fixed time, period by gradually Increasing or decreasing the throttle opening at a variable rate which depends on the accelerator pedal position measured at discrete time intervals during the switching time period.

Inventor: LEARY RICHARD MAURICE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2008-07-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of identifying a network of actors or people within a data set. The method has the steps of importing data from several data sources, normalising the data in the fields to create a merged consolidated data set, identifying one or more networks based on identical or similar instances of one or more pieces of data in the consolidated data set, and calculating a measure of influence of the actors in an identified network. The networks may be identified by the use of key words, number matching, an ontology based extraction or words or concepts, pictures, video, media, an identifying number or characteristic and/or data in an entry. The data may be telecommunications data including mobile phones. The networks may be analysed using social mapping techniques to identify the key actors and the links. The data sources may be police and government databases and the method used to identify criminal activity and their networks.

Title: Associating face images using covariance matrices of extracted features
Inventor: BEDROS SAAD J
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2009-02-18
Abstract: Faces are associated to determine whether they are similar. A captured face may be associated with known faces to determine which known face the captured most closely resembles. Facial feature extraction is performed (120, 125), preferably using Gabor filters applied to masked face images. The Gabor filters may have predefined scale and orientation. Covariance matrices are developed (130, 135), which are subjected to a similarity measure (140) to determine the similarity of the images. The similarity measure may be the weighted sum of multiple computed similarity measures.

[Class 40 (iv).] Relates to sound-reproducing instruments of the electrodynamic type in which a relatively small diaphragm sets up sound vibrations in an acoustic horn, the diaphragm unit consisting of a diaphragm portion proper, a carrying flange portion and a cylinder-like portion on which the moving coil is mounted, all of said portions being formed from metal. According to the invention, the cylinder-like portion includes at least one portion that is integral with either the diaphragm portion proper or the carrying flange. As shown in Fig. 2, the diaphragm unit comprises a central dome-shaped portion 1 and a carrying flange 4 both of which are formed with integral cylindrical extensions 7<1>, 7<11> adapted to be rigidly secured together. The flange 4 is also formed with an upstanding flange 9 concentrically arranged with respect to the coil flange 7 and adapted to fit in a co-operating recessed portion 10, Fig. 1, in the part 6 so as to ensure accurate centring of the coil in the magnetic air gap. Alternatively, a groove may be formed in the flange 4 concentric with the flange 7, Fig. 4 (not shown) and adapted to co-operate with similarly formed parts in the body of the instrument for this purpose. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the coil flange 11 comprises a single thickness of metal formed integrally with the flange 4, the diaphragm portion 1 being formed with an extension 1<1> secured as shown to the flange 4. According to a further modification, Fig. 5, the coil flange is formed of an integral extension 13 of the diaphragm portion 1 and the cylinder like part of a collar member 14, a flange on which is secured to the underside of flange 4. Further constructions are also described, Figs. 6 and 7 (not shown) similar to that shown in Fig. 2, but in which the part 7<1> is extended around the end of part 7<11> and along the outside surface thereof or the part 7<11> is extended around the end of part 7<1> and along the inner surface thereof. Any portion or portions of the diaphragm unit may be corrugated, e.g. by pressed up protuberances, or the flange 4 may be provided with radially extending corrugations.
