Title: Speaker distortion reduction
Inventor: ZIAD HATAB
IPC: H04R3/04
Filed: 2017-09-25
Abstract: A spectral tilt of an audio signal is used to determine whether a speaker will introduce perceptible distortion during playback of the audio signal. The spectral tilt may be indicated by determining a ratio 306 between energy in a distortion-producing frequency band and energy in a distortion-masking frequency band. Based on the determined spectral tilt, the distortion-producing frequency band may be attenuated to reduce the distortion introduced by the speaker. Additionally, the distortion-masking frequency band may be amplified to reduce perceptibility of the distortion produced by the speaker.

Title: Flow signal detection circuit and control system
Inventor: QUANDUO HOU
IPC: H03K5/19
Filed: 2019-12-04
Abstract: A flow signal detection circuit comprises an input capacitor C1 connected to a trigger port (TRI) of a control chip U1 and receiving a pulsed flow signal from a flow sensor, for example a Hall element. An RC network comprising a series connected resistor R2 and capacitor C2, with the resistor connected to a power supply VDD and the capacitor connected to ground GND, has its centre node connected to both a discharge (DIS) and threshold port (THR) of the control chip. A voltage control port (CON) of the control chip is grounded via a third capacitor C3. Additionally, a diode D1 has its anode connected to the control chip threshold and trigger ports, and its cathode connected to the control chip trigger port and to the power supply via a pull-up resistor R1. The control chip outputs a high signal when a valid pulse train is received. A flow control system (Fig.2) comprises the flow signal detection circuit and a control module, each connected in parallel between an output of a flow sensor and separate inputs of a judgement circuit. The system may be used to control a load, e.g. a water heater, when both inputs to the judgement circuit are high; this may prevent false load activation due to signal noise.

Title: Rotor dynamics
Inventor: BARRY JAMES
IPC: G06F30/20
Filed: 2020-01-24
Abstract: Building a structural model of the drivetrain comprising a rotor and bearings, and solving the structural model of the drivetrain, using either i) an iterative quasi-static analysis, or ii) a dynamic analysis of the structural model of the drivetrain, accounting for non-linear variation of bearing stiffness with load or rotation speed. This allows calculation of the unbalance response of the rotor. This is used for the design of a drivetrain, with a design target used to determine whether the unbalance response is acceptable. Rotational speed and unbalance may be used to provide a quasi-static iterative calculation, initially below the critical shaft speed, and additional displacement applied, with repetition until the rotational speed approaches the shaft critical speed. The housing stiffness and friction instabilities from gear couplings and splines may also be included.
