Granted: 2020-06-09
Abstract: Mobile phones and other portable devices are equipped with a variety of technologies by which existing functionality can be improved, and new functionality can be provided. One such improvement concerns an architecture employing a forked image processing path: a first branch is tailored for human visual system purposes, and a second branch is tailored for object recognition. The first branch processes captured imagery using a gamma correction module, a de-mosaicing module, or a JPEG compression module, and provides imagery useful for rendering into perceptual form for human viewing. The second branch processes the captured imagery without any of the noted modules, and provides imagery that can be applied to a recognition stage, to yield plural-bit data identifying an object depicted in the image data. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Title: Unvented gas fireplace
Inventor: BINZER DAN
IPC: F23C7/00
Filed: 2011-04-06
Granted: 2016-06-28
Abstract: An unvented gas fireplace in which air flow through a closed combustion chamber is controlled by means of a restriction in the air flow path through an outer plenum chamber surrounding the combustion chamber, causing a pressure differential between the plenum and combustion chamber, forcing air from the plenum into the combustion chamber, where it is combusted and mixed with the cool air that has passed the restriction in the plenum, before the air mixture is exhausted into the surrounding room or area. A diverter selects between exhausting the heated air in the same or the opposite side as the air intake. The unit may be used as an outdoor stand-alone fireplace.

Title: Fishing lure
Inventor: JONES CHARLES FREDERICK
IPC: A01K85/12
Filed: 2011-04-14
Granted: 2017-02-14
Abstract: A metal fishing lure having the appearance, action and small electrical charge of an injured bait fish. The front portion is planar but the rear portion is curved, the curve characterized by a transverse bend and a slight twist about the longitudinal axis. The lure is precisely balanced so that, when pulled through the water, the twist causes the lure to roll x times clockwise, winding up the leader, whereupon the bend and the weight of the lure cause the leader to unwind then wind up counter clockwise, so that the lure rolls counter-clockwise, settling into a reverses roll action of 2x rolls in one direction, then 2x rolls in the opposite direction, repeated indefinitely. This realistic action induces game fish to strike in a reaction bite.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate switching a lamp ballast between DALI and analog control states as a function of control state information stored prior to the ballast being powered of and control information received by an interface circuit for the ballast circuit. A depolarization circuit is coupled to the interface circuit and ensures consistent polarity across a rectifier circuit regardless of the polarity of two control wires coupled to a miswiring protection circuit in the interface circuit. In this manner, a single interface circuit provides dual 0-10V analog and DALI  control for dimming a lighting device regardless of whether a wall-mounted controller coupled to the interface circuit is an analog or a DALI type controller, thereby mitigating a need to switch out a ballast circuit coupled to the lighting devise when changing between DALI and analog type controllers.
