Patent CA-2648542-A1 (CA)
Title: Button capture sign system
Inventor: MEEKER DONALD T
IPC: G09F7/18
Filed: 2009-01-07
Abstract: A single or double post sign structure that is configured to accommodate the attachment of panels to one or both sides of a vertical upright. The sign panel is provided with keyed indentations that are located at the top and bottom edges of the panel to permit capture and rigid securement of the sign panel by a pair of retaining buttons that are used to anchor the sign panel to the sign post. Each retaining button is provided with protrusions corresponding to the keyed indentations of the sign panel. As a result, when the protrusion of the retaining button is engaged and seated in the keyed indentation of the sign panel, it becomes locked in place so that there is no room for lateral movement or removal of the panel. As a result, vandals or thieves are prevented from laterally sliding the sign panel to improperly remove it.

Title: Replacing text representing a concept with an alternate written form of the concept
Inventor: SCHUBERT KJELL
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2007-04-12
Abstract: A system enables a transcriptionist to replace a first written form (such as an abbreviation) of a concept with a second written form (such as an expanded form) of the same concept. For example, the system may display to the transcriptionist a draft document produced from speech by an automatic speech recognizer. If the transcriptionist recognizes a first written form of a concept that should be replaced with a second written form of the same concept, the transcriptionist may provide the system with a replacement command. In response, the system may identify the second written' form of the concept and replace the first written form with the second written form in the draft document.

Title: Compressed delay packet transmission scheduling
Inventor: FRANKKILA TOMAS
IPC: H04L47/80
Filed: 2007-05-30
Abstract: A packet scheduler reduces or "compresses" the packet transmission delay jitter or delay range where packets experience little or no scheduling delay before transmission. As a result, the number of packets that experience little or no delay is reduced. A preferred example way of compressing the packet transmission delay jitter is to reduce the transmission priority of low delay packets. Compressing the delay jitter is particularly desirable for services like VoIP that require low packet transmission delay jitter.

Title: Multiple microphone voice activity detector
Inventor: WANG SONG
IPC: G10L11/02
Filed: 2008-09-26
Abstract: Voice activity detection using multiple microphones can be based on a relationship between an energy at each of a speech reference microphone and a noise reference microphone. The energy output from each of the speech reference microphone and the noise reference microphone can be determined. A speech to noise energy ratio can be determined and compared to a prede-termined voice activity threshold. In another embodiment, the absolute value of the autocorrelation of the speech and noise reference signals are determined and a ratio based on autocorrelation values is determined. Ratios that exceed the predetermined threshold can indicate the presence of a voice signal. The speech and noise energies or autocorrelations can be determined using a weighted average or over a discrete frame size.

Abstract: This patent discloses tools, methods and systems for dispensing soap. The tools, methods and systems include a draw-back chamber constructed around and in line with the fluid path between a spout assembly for delivering soap to a user and a pump mechanism for supplying the soap. The draw-back chamber contains port openings into the fluid path. When the pump mechanism is actuated to dispense soap, the draw back chamber is collapsed and soap within it is dispensed with the main dose of soap supplied by the pump mechanism. When the pump mechanism is allowed to return to its extended rest state, the draw-back chamber expands, drawing soap into it through the port opening to prevent soap from hanging and dripping at the end of the dispensing tube.
