Title: Method of triggering an active device of a vehicle
Inventor: BUNKER PAUL
IPC: B60R21/0132
Filed: 2011-03-29
Abstract: A method of triggering an active device, for example a seat belt tensioner, comprises determining from appropriate sensors lateral acceleration 11, steering wheel position 13 and steering wheel speed 14. The steering wheel position 13 and steering wheel speed 14 are input to a calculation module 15 which provides an output 16 that is input with the lateral acceleration 11 to a calculation module 12. Calculation module 12 provides a conditioned or modified characteristic of lateral acceleration 17 which is used to trigger the active device if the conditioned lateral acceleration 17 exceeds a threshold lateral acceleration. Steering wheel position is represented by an angular departure from a reference position which is preferable a straight ahead. A look-up table is used to determine a steering wheel position signal and an algorithm is used to link steering wheel position and steering wheel speed.

Title: Communication between a computer and a managed endpoint over an out-of-band connection
Inventor: KACIN MARTIN
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2008-09-08
Abstract: An IT appliance (102) manages at least one endpoint (108) over a network (114). The management may include communicating executable programs, patches, OS updates and the like. The endpoint may also send requested files e.g. activity log files to the appliance. The appliance and endpoints each contain functional â  pluginâ   software modules for the execution of IT tasks, and built-in â  pluginsâ   which establish connections between the appliance and endpoint. An out-of-band connection is established (e.g. using a dedicated TCP socket) which can cope better with sending large amounts of data e.g. programs, log files than the normal connection which is used for e.g. commands and status messages. The out-of-band connection may be requested by the endpoint, so that the appliance will automatically learn that the endpoint is online, and such that a connection can be established through a firewall (116) connected to the endpoint.

Title: Acoustic music similarity determiner
Inventor: ERONEN ANTTI JOHANNES
IPC: G10H1/00
Filed: 2013-06-24
Abstract: A method comprises determining a divergence measure between a statistical distribution of audio features of a first audio track and a statistical distribution of audio features of at least one further audio track, which may be obtained from a store of audio tracks. The divergence determination may involve quantising parameters associated with the statistical distributions and using them to read a divergence measure from a look-up table. Next, a divergence measure threshold value is determined from at least the divergence measure between the statistical distribution of audio features of a first audio track and the statistical distribution of audio features of the at least one further audio track. The divergence measure is then compared with the divergence measure threshold value. The at least one further audio track is retained dependent on the comparison step and its similarity to the first audio track is determined. The parameters associated with the statistical distributions may comprise at least one of a mean vector and a standard deviation of the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) for an audio analysis frame. The divergence measure may be based on an approximation of a symmetrised Kullback-Leibler divergence measure. Corresponding system and computer program claims are also disclosed.
