Title: System and method for cooling and promoting physical activity of poultry
Inventor: WEEDEN KEVIN S
IPC: F24F5/00
Filed: 2010-02-12
Abstract: A sprinkler controller in a poultry house having a processor, a data storage device operatively connected to the processor, the data storage device having instructions for programming the processor, and an input/output module operatively connected to the processor. The input/output module is configured to communicate with at least one valve for controlling a flow of fluid between a fluid source and at least one sprinkler nozzle. The at least one valve has an open position permitting the flow of fluid, and a closed position inhibiting the flow of fluid, and the position of the valve being determined by the processor. The processor is programmed to set the valve in the open position at a start of an activity promotion interval, and to set the valve in the closed position at the end of the activity promotion interval. The duration of the activity promotion interval is selected such that a sufficient amount of fluid is dispersed through the sprinkler nozzle to promote physical activity in the poultry. The start of the activity promotion interval is predetermined based on a frequency of operation parameter indicative of a number of activity promotion intervals in a time period, and a value for the frequency of operation parameter being selected to promote growth of the poultry.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing a virtual electric utility
Inventor: FORBES JOSEPH W JR
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2008-08-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for virtually generating electricity for use by electric utilities provide a virtual electric utility.  In one embodiment, a non-power generating electric utility enters into a supply agreement to acquire electric power from an electric power generating entity. During a term of the agreement, the non-power generating utility intentionally refrains from receiving at least some of the electric power to which it is entitled under the agreement to produce deferred electric power. The non-power generating utility offers to supply the deferred electric power to third party, such as an electric power supplier or an electric power consumer. The power deferment is preferably achieved through issuance of power control commands to a load management system.  In another embodiment, an independent third party controls the load management system to function as an alternative energy supplier by virtually supplying deferred electric power back to a power grid.

Abstract: [Object] To capture a high-quality 3D image having an appropriate parallax level and a small chromatic aberration.   [Solving Means] A light ray output from a subject is separated into left and right light rays by mirrors 141 and 143 in an area in which a diverging light ray output from a point of the subject is converted into a parallel light ray.  When the subject is looked at from the right side, the light ray is reflected by the mirror 141 and is further reflected by the mirror 142. When the subject is looked at from the left side, the light ray is reflected by the mirror 143 and is further reflected by the mirror 144. The right light ray reflected by the mirror 142 is made incident on the image forming lens 151. The light ray made incident on the image forming lens 151 forms an image on a light receiving surface of an imaging device 171. The left light ray reflected by the mirror 144 is made incident on an image forming lens 152.  The light ray made incident on the image forming lens 152 forms an image on a light receiving surface of an imaging device 172. In this way, a high-quality 3D image having an appropriate parallax level and a small chromatic aberration is captured.

Title: Device and method for generating a multi-channel signal including speech signal processing
Inventor: UHLE CHRISTIAN
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2008-10-01
Abstract: In order to generate a multi-channel signal comprising a number of output channels greater than a number of input channels, a mixer is used for upmixing the input signal to form at least a direct channel signal and at least an ambience channel signal. A  speech detector (18) is provided for detecting a section of the input signal, the direct channel signal or the ambience channel signal in which speech portions occur. Based on this detection, a signal modifier (20) modifies the input signal or the ambience channel signal in order to attenuate speech portions in the ambience channel signal, whereas such speech portions in the direct channel signal are attenuated to a lesser extent or not at all. Loudspeaker signal output means (22) then maps the direct channel signals and the ambience channel signals to loudspeaker signals which are associated to a defined reproduction scheme, such as, for example, a 5.1 scheme.

Patent CA-2707761-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FALLER CHRISTOF
IPC: G10L19/008
Filed: 2006-02-13
Abstract: The following coding scenario is addressed: A number of audio source signals need to be transmitted or stored for the purpose of mixing wave field synthesis, multi-channel surround, or stereo signals after decoding the source signals.  The proposed technique offers significant coding gain when jointly coding the source signals, compared to separately coding them, even when no redundancy is present between the source signals. This is possible by considering statistical properties of the source signals, the properties of mixing techniques, and spatial hearing. The sum of the source signals is transmitted plus the statistical properties of the source signals which mostly determine the perceptually important spatial cues of the final mixed audio channels. Source signals are recovered at the receiver such that their statistical properties approximate the corresponding properties of the original source signals. Subjective evaluations indicate that high audio quality is achieved by the proposed scheme.
