Patent GB-2496206-A (GB)
Title: Electrical interface assembly
Inventor: ELLIOTT DAVID KENNETH
IPC: H02G3/16
Filed: 2011-11-07
Abstract: The invention relates to the installation of back boxes and electrical faceplates (sockets, outlets, switches, etc). Male connecting pins 2, 3, and 4 are fixed into the connection terminals on the faceplate. An interface assembly 11 matching the pin layout of the faceplate, containing female friction grip connectors, is mounted within an electrical back box and connected to the circuit wires. The interface assembly may include an orientation indicator and the wiring terminations may be colour coded. The pins may be round. The connectors and terminations may be built into the back box so that a separate interface assembly is not required. The interface assembly allows for the circuit wiring to be terminated within the back box at the same time as the first fix wiring, reducing waste and eliminating the practice of leaving excess cables, protruding from back boxes, which exposes them to damage from subsequent trades in the construction process. As the circuit wiring is fixed in position to the interface assembly it eliminates the need for trial positioning of the wires within the back box, when attempting to fit the connected faceplate, and the wiring is not disturbed when the faceplate is added.

Title: Automatic reversion to a working configuration following faulty re-configuration of a network node
Inventor: CROWLE MARTIN RICHARD
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2012-01-19
Abstract: A communication network comprising nodes which are programmable wherein operational data of a node may be changed by remotely downloading new operational data to the node. The operational data may be configuration data for a node or program data for controlling the operation of the node, such as firmware. The re-configuration may therefore comprise a firmware update, for example. During re-configuration of a node the node is operable to: retain the existing operational data unchanged at the node S10; receive new operational data S11; perform a test communication using the new operational data S12 with another node of the network; and if the test fails S13, indicating a faulty new operation data, revert (S6) to the existing operational data S15, and if the test succeeds, operate using the new data S14. The node may be re-programmed wirelessly e.g. by a management station and/or in a master-slave arrangement. The re-programmable node may be a network router. The test communication may be deemed to have failed S13 if communication with the other node is not established within a predetermined time period, possibly specified with the downloaded new operational data. The new operational data may specify a re-configuration of which wireless channels are to be used for communication, specify new modulation parameters or specify transmission power of the slave device, for example. The arrangement allows for nodes that have become inoperable or unreachable by the management station to automatically restore the previous working configuration. The configuration data may be XML data. The test message may comprise an SNMP, TELNET, SSH or web request type message.

Title: Dual trust architecture
Inventor: HAVERCAN PETER EDWARD
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2012-03-26
Abstract: An application 204 executes as a multi-user single address space subsystem in an operating environment 200 having a trusted mode and a reduced-trust mode of operation. The application includes a control module 206 and a trusted routine table 208 including identifiers of trusted routines. If a routine is restored from a call stack and the routine is a most recent entry in an active trusted routine list 214, then the control module switches to the trusted mode of operation for executing the routine and removes the routine from the active trusted routine list. If a routine is not restored from a call stack and the routine is included in the trusted routine table, then the control module switches to the trusted mode of operation for executing the routine. If it is determined that the routine is untrusted, the control module switches to the reduced-trust mode of operation for execution of the routine. If the routine is not restored from a call stack and a calling routine for the routine is executing in a trusted operating mode, the control module adds the calling routine to the active trusted routine list.

IPC: E03B7/04
Filed: 2012-05-10
Abstract: The invention comprises a water saving system (2 figure 1) which reduces the amount of cold water when a top tap is first turned on. The system comprises a first input 14, which receives cooled water from a hot water line (10 figure 1), a second input 28, which receives cold water from a cold water line (4 figure 1), and an output 16, from which cold water from either the first or second inputs is fed into a cold water line terminating in a cold water outlet i.e. a cistern 22. The system further comprises a thermostatic valve 18, having a sensor, which may be an electrical or a mechanical sensor, and having a first position and a second position, wherein, when the sensor senses the temperature of water in the hot water line is above a set level, the valve is moved from the first position to the second position, allowing the user access to cold water from the cold water line only. When the sensor senses the temperature of water in the hot water line is below a set level, the valve is moved from the second position to the first position, thereby allowing the user of the cold water outlet to access the cooled water from the hot water.

Title: Audio Processing
Inventor: VILERMO MIIKKA TAPPANI
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2013-06-14
Abstract: Audio objects are created from frequency sub-band signals each representing a directional component of a source signal by obtaining a dominant source direction and deriving an audio object signal based on frequency sub-band signals for which the dominant direction falls within a predetermined range. Aspects of the invention include: For each of B frequency sub-bands from a microphone array (510, fig. 5), an audio signal Mb and dominant sound source direction angles ab are input to a mixer (250), which derives audio object signals Cd,k for which the Mb signals fall within a range rk of source directions (eg. Cd,k = Î£ Mb), then outputs direction indications tk for each audio object signal Ck. The audio objects may then be used to calculate frequency-dependent interaural level differences (ILD) and interaural time differences (ITD) are mapped to an angle (130, 130) measured from a reference direction (150) for a given time frame (eg. 20 ms).

Title: Updating the frequency sweep of a seismic source based on an attribute of recorded seismic data
Inventor: TEYSSANDIER BENOIT
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2013-08-06
Abstract: A method for adapting a frequency sweep for a vibro-acoustic source element that is configured to generate acoustic waves during a seismic survey includes driving a seismic source element 800 to generate a current frequency sweep; recording seismic data 802 with plural seismic sensors in response to the current frequency sweep; selecting 804, during the seismic survey, a data subset of the seismic data, calculating 806 with a processing device an attribute based on the data subset; and calculating 808 a new frequency sweep based on the attribute.
