Title: Ladder extension bars
Inventor: TROTMAN DAVID
IPC: E06C7/18
Filed: 2012-01-11
Abstract: This invention consists of a pair of extension bars which attach to the top of a ladder frame and are shaped to allow a person to walk through them and step directly onto a roof. This avoids the need to step sideways onto a roof which may result in the ladder slipping and this new invention therefore makes this procedure much safer. The extension bars may attach to the ladder head by means of bolts. The extension bars may be manufactured from box-section bars, I-beam or round tubing.

Title: Implicit mechanism for determining user response to media
Inventor: STIERS TODD
IPC: H04N21/235
Filed: 2010-09-21
Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implicitly determining user response to media content. User response may include satisfaction, interest, and engagement levels. User response is determined implicitly by measuring channel switching, channel switching frequency, duration of viewing time, content duration, etc. in a linear or non-linear manner. In one example, the viewing duration evaluated with the media content duration to generate an interest factor. A relative interest factor for the media content is generated by referencing interest factors for the user for other pieces of media content for the user. User responses can be analyzed to determine user attention span, make content recommendations, deliver selected versions of content, customize advertising for a user, etc.

Patent GB-2490832-A (GB)
Title: Adaptive alarm system
Inventor: AL-ALI AMMAR
IPC: A61B5/1455
Filed: 2011-02-28
Abstract: An adaptive alarm system is responsive to a physiological parameter so as to generate an alarm threshold that adapts to baseline drift in the parameter and reduce false alarms without a corresponding increase in missed true alarms. The adaptive alarm system has a parameter derived from a physiological measurement system using a sensor in communication with a living being. A baseline processor calculates a parameter baseline from a parameter trend. Parameter limits specify an allowable range of the parameter. An adaptive threshold processor calculates an adaptive threshold from the parameter baseline and the parameter limits. An alarm generator is responsive to the parameter and the adaptive threshold so as to trigger an alarm indicative of the parameter crossing the adaptive threshold. The adaptive threshold is responsive to the parameter baseline so as to increase in value as the parameter baseline drifts to a higher parameter value and to decrease in value as the parameter baseline drifts to a lower parameter value.

Title: Asymmetric anti-halo field effect transistor
Inventor: BRYANT ANDRES
IPC: H01L21/265
Filed: 2012-11-29
Abstract: In a method of forming an integrated circuit structure, a first compensating implant (Fig. 2; 120) with opposite dopant polarity to the semiconductor channel implant (Fig. 1; 114) is implanted uniformly into a substrate for example a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate, to a depth shallower than a semiconductor channel implant depth. A mask 130 is patterned on the first compensating implant 122 in the substrate, including an opening 138 exposing a channel location of the substrate. A second compensating implant 140 called an anti-halo implant has doping polarity the same as the channel implant polarity, and is implanted into the channel location through the mask opening in the channel location and at an angle offset from perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate. The second compensating implant 142 is particularly useful for long channel transistors. It is positioned closer to a first side of the channel location relative to an opposite second side of the channel location. A gate insulator layer 132 and gate conductor (Fig. 5; 152) are formed above the channel location of the substrate in the mask opening 138. The mask is removed to leave the gate conductor standing on the channel location of the substrate. Source and drain extension regions (Fig. 6; 162) are formed by implanting using the gate structure as a mask, after which gate sidewalls (Fig. 7; 170) are formed and source and drain implants (Fig. 7; 174, 176) are implanted using the gate sidewalls as masks. The width of the anti-halo implant 142 is automatically matched to the width of gate.

Title: Methods and apparatus for monitoring conditions prevailing in a distributed system
Inventor: EASTMAN MARK PATRICK HENRY
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2013-05-29
Abstract: Client application container 22-1 comprises application 24-1 accessed by client device 14-1. The container is on a different physical machine or a virtual machine in the same location compared to statistics server 16 where data are sent for persistence. Logging of performance measurements is started by application 24-1 calling local performance logger 30-1, which generates records comprising measurement results and metadata. Local logger 30-1 determines whether to store result remotely on 16 and passes results and metadata to asynchronous FIFO queue 33-1 via remote logger 32-1. Messages are then sent to primary logging environment 16 when sufficient resources are available without having significant impact on execution of application 24-1 (e.g. when the application is not particularly busy). Message transfers are through a representational state transfer (REST) service (RS) uniform API. Queue 33-1 uses processing threads of lower priority than those of application 24-1. Undue overheads in persisting logs are avoided.

Title: Stand mixers
Inventor: FIELDS ROBERT
IPC: B01F7/16
Filed: 2013-06-28
Abstract: A stand mixer comprises a head unit capable of supporting at least one tool suspended therefrom. The stand mixer further comprises support means for supporting said head unit above a receiving location for a mixing bowl such that the tool depends into said bowl location. The stand mixer further comprises means including an electric motor and associated transmission means for imparting rotary motion to said tool. The stand mixer further comprises means for causing or permitting the tool suspended from the head unit to execute motion along at least one track relative to said support means. The tool can thereby be bodily shifted, relative to the said bowl, along said at least one track, whilst being rotated by the motor and transmission means. Means may be provided for causing or permitting the head unit to execute motion along first and second substantially co-planar tracks relative to said support means. Further means may be provided for causing or permitting said head unit to move along a third axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the first and second tracks. The head unit may be moved by a user or may be motor driven. The additional degrees of freedom and flexibility of motion of the tool relative to the bowl allow the path followed by the tool and thus the mixing pattern to be altered.

Title: Predistortion in satellite signal transmission systems
Inventor: ABOUELENIN AHMED
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2013-08-09
Abstract: Digital predistorters DPD1 and DPD2 are used in the main and envelope paths of an envelope tracking transmitter amplifier system. The predistorter DPD2 corrects distortion at the output of the envelope amplifier EA. Envelope tracking of the driver amplifier DA, and load modulation of the power amplifier PA, improves the overall power added efficiency (PAE) when transmitting signals with a high peak to average power ration (PAPR). The power amplifier PA may be bypassed. The transmitter may be used in a satellite or an earth station.
