Title: Method of calibrating a playback device, corresponding playback device, system and computer readable storage medium
Inventor: SHEEN TIMOTHY
IPC: H04R27/00
Filed: 2015-09-08
Abstract: Examples described herein involve determining an audio processing algorithm for a playback device to apply when playing audio content in a playback zone. Determining the audio processing algorithm may involve causing the playback device to play a first audio signal in the playback zone, receiving data indicating a second audio signal detected by a microphone of the playback device. Based on the second audio signal and a characteristic of the playback device, an audio processing algorithm may be determined. The audio processing algorithm may be calculated, or identified in a database based on an acoustic characteristic of the playback zone. The acoustic characteristic of the playback zone may be determined based on the second audio signal and the characteristic of the playback device. The audio processing algorithm may then be applied by the playback device.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for measuring quantities (e.g., relative frequencies) of sequence end motifs of cell-free DNA fragments in a biological sample of an organism for measuring a property of the sample (e.g., fractional concentration of clinically-relevant DNA) and/or determining a condition of the organism based on such measurements. Different tissue types exhibit different patterns for the relative frequencies of the sequence end motifs. The present disclosure provides various uses for measures of the relative frequencies of sequence end motifs of cell-free DNA, e.g., in mixtures of cell-free DNA from various tissues. DNA from one of such tissue may be referred to as clinically-relevant DNA.

Title: A bioassay method
Inventor: SHAPIRO HOWARD MAURICE
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1979-04-12
Abstract: A bioassay method is based on the detection of changes in the membrane potential of individual cells. A cell suspension is incubated with a solution of a substance capable of affecting the physiology of at least a subpopulation of cells in the suspension. During or after the incubation, a measurement representative of the membrane potential of individual cells is made. The preferred method of measuring membrane potential involves incubating the cells with a membrane-permeant, fluorescent, ionic dye which becomes distributed on opposite sides of the cell membrane as a function of membrane potential, and then assaying intracellular dye concentration by photometric measurements in a flow cytometer. 
     In one embodiment the cells are modified prior to the photometric measurements; this modification may involve reaction with, for example, hormones, pharmacological agents and proteins. 
     One application of the invention is in the evaluation of drugs.

Inventor: THOMPSON DAVID RICHARD
IPC: H03J9/00
Filed: 1981-03-04
Abstract: The switching circuit couples an appliance (1) to a power main (LN) via remotely controllable switching means (2) and is operable to change the state of the switching means (2) in response to a manual double switching of the appliance power switch so that the appliance can be manually switched ON after it has been remotely switched OFF. 
     A capacitor (CAP1) generates from the mains voltage an alternating current signal of a phase differing from that of the mains voltage by an amount dependent on the external impedance across the output. The switching circuit monitors this phase difference and changes the state of the switching means (2) if it detects two phase difference changes exceeding a predetermined value in opposite senses within a predetermined time period, this being indicative of a manual double switching of the appliance power switch. 
     The switching circuit does not operate spuriously for thermostatically controlled appliances nor in response to noise spikes.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for manufacturing heat exchangers from ceramic sheets, wherein different flow channels are stamped from or pressed into the sheets, and the formed sheets are joined together with a laminating agent. The stacking of the individual sheets is effected using apparatus in which the sheets are transported to the forming means, applicator means and laminating means by horizontally and vertically displaceable, rotatable and pivotable suction plates. The organic component of the ceramic sheets is expelled from the heat exchanger block obtained in two heating steps with an intermediate forming operation to bring the heat exchanger block to its final dimensions, and the block then fired between 1,200 DEG  to 1,700 DEG C. The actual sintering temperature depends on the particular ceramic used, which may comprise Si3N4, SiC, cordierite and/or semiconductive barium titanate compounds.

Abstract: A document feeder (10) is mounted for pivotal movement on a copier/duplicator between a first position overlying an exposure platen (20) of the copier/duplicator and a second position spaced from the exposure platen so that individual documents sheets, books or the like can be manually placed directly on the exposure platen for copying. As the feeder moves from its first position to its second position the feeder first pivots about one axis (A-A) and then, subsequently, about a second axis (B-B) offset farther from the platen than the first axis. Thus the feeder is stepped away from the edge of the copier exposure platen to provide a relatively large area that is available for receiving a book or large document on the exposure platen for copying. A counterbalancing arrangement (72, 82, 84) is provided for balancing the weight of the feeder as it moves between its two positions.

Abstract: Power MOSFETs for switching high voltages have a relatively high on-state DC resistance. The invention provides for the connection in series of a low voltage MOSFET with a higher voltage bipolar transistor. This series circuit is connected in parallel with a series circuit consisting of another MOSFET and a threshold switch. The threshold switch is placed between the base terminal and the free terminal of the low voltage MOSFET. The MOSFETs receive a joint control signal (u1) which is routed to the low voltage MOSFET. In the case of an inductive load with recovery operation, the signal is routed through a delay element that becomes active when the circuit is turned on.

Title: Voltage translator
Inventor: SMITH DOUGLAS DUKE
IPC: H01L21/331
Filed: 1983-03-14
Abstract: A bipolar voltage translator contains a pair of differentially-coupled transistors for converting an input voltage supplied to the base of a first (Q1) of the pair into an output voltage taken between a first resistor (R9) and the collector of the second (Q2) of the pair. A second resistor (R12) is coupled between a V<sub>EE</sub> supply and a current-source transistor (Q4) which supplies current to the differential pair. The current-source transistor is controlled by a reference voltage which equals V<sub>EE</sub> + (1 + a) V<sub>BE</sub> where a is in the range 0.2 to 3.0. The ratio of the first resistor to the second resistor is desirably β/α where β V<sub>BE</sub> is the output voltage swing. Circuitry such as a Schottky diode (S4) is coupled between the emitters of the differential pair to prevent the emitter-base junction of the second transistor from breaking down. Where the transistors are NPN devices and equals 1, the output voltage is provided at levels suitable for current tree logic.
