Title: Electronic voting
Inventor: ANTELL BOB
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2009-10-05
Abstract: An electronic voting method, system and apparatus is disclosed. A vote message is received at a network node, the vote message comprising a sender identifier, vote data and a timestamp. The sender identifier, vote data and timestamp are read, and it is determined from the timestamp whether an event window was open and whether the window was a first or subsequent window. In the event that the window is the first window, the vote data and sender identifier are stored at a database. In the event that the window is a second or subsequent window, the sender identifier is compared to sender identifiers stored at a previous window and if a match is found the vote is marked as validated and the vote stored at the database. The system can be used in conjunction with a video broadcast, possibly a sports match. The system and method can track changes in voter opinions over time by comparing vote data from the same sender and can ensure that votes delayed by network congestion are not counted within an incorrect vote window giving more accurate vote results. A front-end server may add the timestamp to the vote message before it is forwarded to the network node.

Abstract: 513,528. Amplifying circuits. SCHLEGEL, K. H. F. April 6, 1938, Nos. 10531, 10532, and 10533. Convention dates, April 8, 1937, April 20,1937, and April 28,1937. [Class 40 (iv)] [Also in Group XL] The range of volume in photographic and other systems of recording, transmitting or receiving sounds is regulated by a control voltage which is derived from the input and which varies proportionally (in decibel units) to the intensity of the sound. The control voltage is applied to an amplifier in such a way that the variations of gain or loss at the output are proportional to variations of the input independently of the degree of extension or compression that is effected. As shown in Fig. 2, sounds applied to the input A1, A2 pass through amplifiers V0, VI and are taken off at the output terminals B1, B2. A part of the input voltage is taken by an auxiliary amplifier V2 and is rectified and smoothed at D1, C1, R1, r1 and then passed through a logarithmic compressor K1, consisting of a metal rectifier D2 and resistance r2. A tapping P1 from the terminal potentiometer feeds back a control voltage of the desired form to the grid of the first variable-mu amplifier V0. In Fig. 3, sounds from a microphone M are compressed in an amplifier F1 by a control voltage derived as in Fig. 1 from a valve network N and tapping P1. The output may be recorded at S or transmitted through the ether or over a line Q to a reproducer W which is coupled to an amplifier F2. The control voltage produced at M in the transmitters is similarly conveyed through the ether or over a line Q1, or through a recording link S1, W1, to a potentiometer P1<SP>1</SP> which controls the amplifier F2 in an expanding sense. Alternatively, the line Q may be omitted and the receiver F2 fitted with a separate valve control similar to N. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 486,870, [Group XL].
