Title: Lockable linear actuator
Inventor: KOPECEK JOSEPH THOMAS
IPC: B64C1/14
Filed: 2007-03-02
Abstract: An actuator includes a rotary input member 6, linear output member 64, 42, 11, means 40, 42 for converting the rotary input to the linear output and lock means 56 movable to a release state when the input member rotates. The output may be a ram 11 driven to extend and retract by a rotating lead screw 40. The lead screw 40 may be coupled with the rotating input shaft 6 via a lost-motion drive sleeve 30 connected with the input shaft by cooperating threads 28 so that rotation of the drive shaft causes both axial and rotational movement of the drive sleeve. The ram 11 may be locked in its retracted position by several radially-extending locking keys 56, one end of which engage an extension sleeve 64 fixed with the ram and the other end of which are engaged by a lock sleeve 50. Rotation of the input shaft 6 may cause the drive sleeve 30 to move axially and engage the lock sleeve 50, thereby pulling it to one side and allowing the locking keys 56 to move radially out and disengage the extension sleeve 64 to allow it to extend. The actuator may be used with doors or panels in an aerospace application.

Title: Distributed processing system
Inventor: ANDERSON ROBERT W
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2005-10-06
Abstract: A distributed processing system delegates the allocation and control of computing tasks to intelligent agent applications running on computing resources. This provides flexible control, efficient allocation, scalability, and simple adaptation of applications to the distributed processing system. The distributed processing system includes an agent (930), a server (910), and application programming interfaces. The agent is run on or associated with any computer system contributing computing resources to the distributed processing system. The agents collect information about associated computing resources to assess their abilities to perform available computing tasks. Based on these assessments, agents request jobs from the server. The server assigns computing tasks to computing resources based on the job requests received from associated agents. Agents manage the execution of tasks on their associated computing resources and return results as specified by jobs. Agents can manage the execution of any type of application, including applications not specifically developed for distributed processing environments.

Title: Noise cancellation method and system applying gain control to a wanted audio signal
Inventor: AL-NAIMI KHALDOON TAHA
IPC: G10L21/0232
Filed: 2009-06-05
Abstract: A noise cancellation signal is generated based on detected ambient noise 40, preferably using adaptive signal processing techniques involving decimation and emulation, such that the noise cancellation signal and a wanted sound signal 49 can be applied to a speaker. Gain control 126 is applied to the wanted sound signal based on a comparison between the detected ambient noise level 40 and the wanted sound signal level 49, for example such that the level of the wanted sound signal 49 after the gain has been applied exceeds the level of a detected ambient noise signal 40 by a certain threshold. Steps may also be taken such that the total level of the wanted sound signal 49 after the gain has been applied and of the detected ambient noise signal 40 do not exceed a second threshold, to avoid saturating the speaker to which they are applied.
