Title: Acoustic device for displaying modal patterns of particulate matter
Inventor: REID JOHN
IPC: G09B23/14
Filed: 2005-10-20
Abstract: The acoustic device 10 has a diaphragm 14 extending across a housing 12 to define a chamber 15. When a mass of particulate material matter is located on the diaphragm 14, excitation of the diaphragm 14 by a sound source creates a pattern in the particulate matter indicating the property of the sound produced by a sound source. A removable sound collector 60, for delivering sound to the chamber 15, has a connector end 66 for connection to the housing 12 and a collector end 64 for placement next to a sound source such as a loudspeaker. The housing 12 may have a number of inlets to which the connector end 66, which preferably has a compression fit portion, can be connected. The removable sound collector 60 may include a rigid tubular section with a curved profile, which reduces in diameter from the collector end 64 to the connector end 66.

Title: Vehicle battery with integral circuit for preventing vehicle theft
Inventor: CHAO LIN-MEI
IPC: B60R25/04
Filed: 2008-10-20
Abstract: A vehicle battery, especially a car battery, includes an electronic control circuit to control the external power supply state of a battery. The electronic control circuit comprises an anti-theft activating circuit 40, a current detection unit 30 and a master control circuit 20. If the anti-theft activating circuit 40 detects that the vehicle's anti-theft device has been activated then the current detection circuit 30 detects the output current of the battery 10. If the master control unit detects that the supply current is greater than a preset value, thus indicating that a thief is trying to start the car, then the master control unit trips a switch 50 which prevents any current output from the battery. The switch may be a relay, or a metal oxide semiconductor.

Title: Biasing a capacitive transducer
Inventor: STEELE COLIN FINDLAY
IPC: G05F1/46
Filed: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A high impedance transducer 102, for example a capacitive transducer or a MEMS microphone, is biased using a voltage generator such as a charge pump 100 whose output voltage 202 has a stable relationship with its input voltage 306, that is itself controlled based on a calibration value, that can be supplied by an adjustable potential divider 305. The calibration value can be set by applying a test signal of known amplitude and monitoring the response, to produce a transducer output signal of predetermined amplitude. An input voltage control circuit 300 need not be connected to the bias output and can comprise a voltage reference Vref, an amplifier 302 a feedback circuit 305 and an adjustable potential divider 305 including an array of resistors and switches, the calibration value possibly stored in a memory. The biasing circuit can be used in ultrasonic imagers, a sonar transmitter/receiver, a communication device or a personal audio device such as an MP3 player and achieves stable biasing without loading of the bias output by a feedback loop.

Title: A method and apparatus for detecting non-uniform scaling of an image.
Inventor: KNEE MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: H04N5/14
Filed: 2009-06-11
Abstract: To detect non-uniform spatial scaling (for example 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios) of an image (for example television images) the image is divided into regions and a directional measure of total spatial frequency energy 108, 109 is evaluated for at least two regions. A measure of non-uniform spatial scaling is derived from a ratio of the two directional spatial energy evaluations. The directional spatial frequency energies may be normalized 118 for example by an energy evaluated in an orthogonal direction. The spatial frequency evaluations may be based on adjacent pixel luminescence values. The results from a plurality of images may be combined.

Title: A method of preparing an uneven surface for application of filler
Inventor: ARMSTRONG IAN ROBERT
IPC: B05C11/04
Filed: 2009-10-20
Abstract: In a method for preparing an uneven surface 10, such as a boat hull, for application of filler to make a fair surface, fasteners 40 are removably attached to the surface in an array. Each fastener comprises an elongate member upstanding from the surface, providing a variable mounting location. For each line of fasteners extending in a first direction through the array, a batten 50 is mounted to the elongate members and adjusted to a predetermined datum distance from the uneven surface. Then, for each line of fasteners extending in a second direction through the array transverse to the first direction, a guide batten 100 is positioned relative to the fasteners to describe a fair line. At each fastener where the associated mounted batten does not abut the guide batten, the batten is adjusted to abut the guide batten to describe the fair surface. Filler is then applied between pairs of adjacent battens to define filler-guides (125, Figure 6A) representative of the fair surface. Following removal of the fasteners and battens, filler is applied to the remainder of the surface using the filler-guides for reference. A tool used to apply the filler guides may have a tongue with spring loaded shapers to define bevels (126) at the edges of the filler-guides.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric motor control apparatus
IPC: B21B37/52
Filed: 1958-03-28
Abstract: 841,505. Control of several D.C. motors. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. March 28, 1958 [April 8, 1957], No. 10033/58. Class 38 (3). Also in Group XXXV] . In a five-stand rolling mill, a strip of material 12 passes from one reel to another through the stands which are driven by individual electric motors. The motor 58 for the fifth stand is controlled by the output of a radiation gauge 18 supplying the control windings of a magnetic amplifier 100, the load windings of which are connected to the control windings of an amplifier 20 with its output windings in push-pull with resistors 102, 104, across potentiometer 106. A potentiometer 108 for controlling the strip-speed is coupled to the potentiometer 106, a signal from which is applied to magnetic amplifiers controlling the first four stands of the mill, as well as the amplifiers 62 associated with the fifth stand. The amplifiers associated with the various stands have individual control impedances so that the control signal from the radiation gauge may have the greatest effect upon the fifth stand, and have a decreasing effect on the operation of the other stands. The output from the amplifier 20 is also supplied to amplifier 114 controlling reversible motor 116 coupled to potentiometer 122, whereby an integrated control signal is applied to second control windings of each of the amplifiers associated with the five stands. The generator 128 for the motor 58 is associated with exciter 130, which is controlled by potentiometer 108, and is connected in series with impedances 74, 76, affording IR-compensation, and impedances 64, 66 developing the output of amplifier 62. The series circuit also includes control windings of amplifier 70 for determining the field excitation of the generator 128. The field-exciting voltage derived from impedances 64, 66 is limited by circuit 154, 155, so limiting the strip-tension. For control signals above a predetermined value, a screw-down motor 136 varies the spacing of the rolls. When the voltage across impedances 64, 66 exceeds the set value, relay 149 or 150 is energized and is associated with a timing circuit so that discontinuous operation of the motor 136 is effected until the error signal is reduced. A relay 170 responds to a predetermined value of output voltage of generator 128 so that the integrating device 24 is effective only when the speed of the mill has increased above thread speed. Contacts 174, 176, are opened and contact 178 is closed when the contact arm of the potentiometer 108 is moved to or below a threadspeed-controlling position, so setting the potentiometer 122 to its zero signal position when the potentiometer 108 is adjusted for speeds above thread speed. Specifications 841,503 and 841,504 are referred to.
