Title: Prosthetic heart valve with leaflets curved by residual stresses
Inventor: TANSLEY GEOFFREY DOUGLAS
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2007-07-26
Abstract: A heart valve prosthesis 4 has valve leaflets 5 incorporating residual stresses such that the leaflet is relaxed in a position intermediate its open and closed positions, thereby reducing the maximum bending stress experienced by the leaflets. Preferably, the leaflets are fabricated from bovine or porcine pericardial material harvested from a region of incipient low calcium content. Pre-forming and fixing of the leaflets 5 creates a rapid change in direction of the surface which modifies the stresses within the material. The valve can be attached to the heart using a sewing ring (9, figure 4) or a stent.

Title: Radar detection apparatus for controlling a traffic light
Inventor: RHODES ANTONIO GEOFFREY
IPC: G01S13/34
Filed: 2007-10-05
Abstract: A radar detection apparatus is provided for controlling a traffic light whereby the presence of a pedestrian 5 in a detection zone is determined based on a combination of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar and Doppler radar techniques. To obtain reliable detection in the full detection zone 7a, Doppler detection is provided in a low sensitivity mode to prevent false detections due to pole vibration, rain, moving litter etc, and FMCW detection is provided for sensitive and reliable detection in the smaller zone 7b. If detection occurs in either zone, the detector switches the sensitivity of the Doppler detector to a high sensitivity mode, allowing the detector to track the object in the full detection zone 7a. An optional timeout for this high sensitivity Doppler mode can be implemented to prevent longterm false alarms due to ongoing pole vibration, rain, moving litter etc.

Title: Route Guidance
Inventor: SOLOMON JEFFREY
IPC: G01C21/36
Filed: 2004-10-25
Abstract: Route guidance comprises receiving a call line identity and current position of a user's in-vehicle device, receiving a call from a user's device indicating the user's destination and entering the destination into a route-guidance system. The system determines the current location of the vehicle and the potential routes to the destination. Traffic conditions along potential routes are ascertained and the optimal route is determined using these and the distances of the potential routes. Route key-points are established along the optimal route and flags are associated with the route key-points. Both are transmitted to the in-vehicle device and provide visual (e.g. pictographs) and audio instructions as the vehicle approaches the key-points. The optimal route may be calculated using a traffic forecasting model. The user's current position may be determined by a dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) transmission. Real-time and historical traffic data acquired from monitored routes together with static typical traffic information acquired from non- monitored routes, or a traffic forecasting model may be used to determine an optimal route.

Title: Reducing call charges by routing calls between private network interconnected PBX's
Inventor: ABRAMSON SANDRA R
IPC: H04M1/2745
Filed: 2008-07-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for routing calls over an organization's private network 305 of private branch exchanges 304-1 to 304-P. In particular, when a member of the organization (e.g., an employee, etc.) places a call from his or her affiliated off-premises telecommunications terminal 301 (e.g., cell phone, etc.), the call is automatically routed to its destination through at least a portion of the private network of private branch exchanges (PBX's) when doing so reduces the cost of the call. In the illustrative embodiment, the call routing is performed automatically and transparently via software on the affiliated terminals (i.e., employees' cell phones) and on the organization's private branch exchanges such that in response to user input for placing a call to a public terminal, a second call is instead placed from the terminal to one of the plurality of associated PBX's. The call from the affiliated terminal to the PBX thus incurs no more cost than a call from the terminal to any other of the plurality of PBX's.

Title: Computational music-tempo estimation
Inventor: CHANG YU-YAO
IPC: G10L25/51
Filed: 2007-09-11
Abstract: Various method and system embodiments of the present invention are directed to computational estimation of a tempo for a digitally encoded musical selection. In certain embodiments of the present invention, described below, a short portion of a musical selection is analyzed to determine the tempo of the musical selection. The digitally encoded musical selection sample is computationally transformed to produce a power spectrum corresponding to the sample, in turn transformed to produce a two-dimensional strength-of-onset matrix (618). The two-dimensional strength-of-onset matrix is then transformed (806) into a set of strength-of-onset/time functions (716) for each of a corresponding set of frequency bands (704-707). The strength-of-onset/time functions are then analyzed to find a most reliable onset interval (808, 8100) that is transformed into an estimated tempo returned by the analysis (812).
