Title: Digitising analog audio data
Inventor: DAVID IAN BELCHER
IPC: G11B3/64
Filed: 2015-04-02
Abstract: A method of identifying an album of analogue audio recordings comprising steps of: playing an analogue recording to produce an analogue audio input signal; digitally sampling the analogue audio input signal to produce a plurality of digitised segments; obtaining one or more track titles from a remote audio-fingerprinting service for each digitised segment producing a plurality of obtained track titles; requesting each album title on which any of the obtained track titles appear, to generate candidate albums; scoring each candidate album based on the number of obtained track titles that appear in the correct order; identifying the album by comparing the scores. The process of digitally sampling the analogue recording through to identifying the album may be repeated if a subsequent track does not have an expected track title. The digitised segments may be recorded as a first recording which are subsequently re-recorded as individual tracks based on the track durations collected from the identified tracks titles. The regions around the expected boundaries, identified from the track titles may be analysed to find the actual track boundaries.

Title: On-board device, train, and signaling system
Inventor: KEIJI MAEKAWA
IPC: B61L23/30
Filed: 2015-05-18
Abstract: In a conventional signaling system, there is room for improvement in reducing the time required from when a preceding train passes through a certain block until a following train can run in said block. In order to solve the above problem, for example, an on-board device receives a message and sends the received message to another device, said message circulating around the trains present within a route constituted by one or more blocks to which the right of occupation of a train is set and including block occupation right information enabling the setting of block occupation right for one train. The on-board device is characterized in that when the block occupation right is set by the message for a train on which the on-board device is mounted, the on-board device mounted on the train for which the right of occupation is set controls a point-switch present in the block to which the right of occupation is set, on the basis of the direction of movement of the train for which the right of occupation is set and by a method different from the circulation of the message.

Title: Method for obfuscating the display of text
Inventor: GUY LE HENAFF
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2015-09-25
Abstract: The present document describes system and method for securing a text against copying and tampering. The system introduces a reversible change within the instructions contained in the electronic page description language defining the text. In a non-limiting example, the reversible change may include replacing the font used in the PDL by a customized font defining a set of changes from the standard/existing fonts. The system may then generate a set of instructions reversing the set of changes to display the proper text to the user. However, should any tampering or illegal copying of the text occur, the original text will not be displayed because a portion of the reversible change is not present. The reversible changes introduced may affect character sizes, colors, spacing, positions, mapping etc.
