Title: A thin multimedia communication device and method
Inventor: STAFFORD-FRASER JAMES QUENTIN
IPC: G06F3/038
Filed: 2000-07-06
Granted: 2003-12-31
Abstract: A communication system comprises endpoint devices, each of which has one or more audio transducers 23 -26 and a touch screen 29, 31. The devices are connected by a network providing non-dedicated communication paths to servers. An application is resident in each of the servers and has the ability to affect the image displayed on at least part of the screen 29. The servers performs signaling for controlling an audio connection between the devices. The touch screens 29, 31 are interactive and are able to initiate the audio connection. The application allows the screen 29 or each screen of the devices participating in the audio connection to display the path of consecutive measured positions of a pointer 30 on the screen 29 from one or more of the connected devices. The screen 29 is able to display an image supplied by a remote server or other apparatus after the audio connection has been initiated. This can be used with broadband telephony.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing frequency errors associated with an inter-system seam
Inventor: SMITH ALAN ANDREW
IPC: H03L7/107

Granted: 2005-12-21
Abstract: A plural-mode receiver 10 is able to receive signals from a first communication system (e.g. WCDMA) or signals from a second, different communication system e.g. GSM). The receiver 10 comprises a first receiver chain 13, 15,17,19 for receiving signals of the first communication system and a second receiver chain 12, 14, 16, 18 for receiving signals of the second communication system. A reference oscillator 24 is arranged to generate a reference signal for the first receiver chain and the second receiver chain. The receiver also comprises a controller 22 for controlling the reference oscillator 24 so that the oscillator 24 oscillates at frequencies related to signals of the first communication system or signals of the second communication system. The controller 22 records the change in frequency of the oscillator 24 resulting from changing to the frequencies related to signals of the second communication system and a period of time during which signals of the second communication system are received by the second receiver chain. The controller 22 then calculates from the recorded change and the recorded period of time an error vector and changes parameters of the reference oscillator 24, including applying the calculated error vector, so that the oscillator oscillates at frequencies related to signals of the first communication system.

Title: Controlling inductive power transfer systems
Inventor: STEVENS MICHAEL CRAIG
IPC: H02H3/12
Filed: 2004-05-11
Granted: 2008-04-02
Abstract: An inductive power transfer system (1) comprises a primary unit (10) operable to generate an electromagnetic field and at least one secondary device (30), separable from the primary unit, and adapted to couple with the field when the secondary device is in proximity to the primary unit so that power can be received inductively by the secondary device from the primary unit without direct electrical conductive contacts therebetween. The system detects if there is a substantial difference between, on the one hand, a power drawn from the primary unit and, on the other hand, a power required by the secondary device or, if there is more than one secondary device, a combined power required by the secondary devices. Following such detection, the system restricts or stops the inductive power supply from the primary unit.  Such a system can detect the presence of unwanted parasitic loads in the vicinity of the primary unit reliably.

Title: Speech recognition apparatus and method
Inventor: MOSHIER STEPHEN LLOYD
IPC: G10L15/10
Filed: 1982-09-21
Granted: 1986-02-05
Abstract: A speech recognition method and apparatus for detecting and recognizing one or more keywords in a continuous audio signal are disclosed. Each keyword is represented by a keyword template which corresponds to a sequence of plural target patterns, and each target pattern comprises statistics representing each of a plurality of spectra selected from plural short-term spectra generated according to a predetermined system for processing the incoming audio. The target patterns also have associated therewith minimum and maximum dwell times. The dwell time is the time interval during which a given target pattern can be said to match incoming frame patterns. The spectra are processed to enhance the separation between the spectral pattern classes during later analysis. The processed audio spectra are grouped into multi-frame spectral patterns and each multi-frame spectral pattern is compared by means of likelihood statistics with the target patterns of keyword templates. Each formed multi-frame pattern is then forced to contribute to the total word score for each keyword as represented by the keyword template. Thus the keyword recognition method requires all input patterns to contribute to the word score of a keyword candidate, using the minimum and maximum dwell times for testing whether a target pattern can still match an input pattern, and wherein the frame rate of the audio spectra must be less than one-half the minimum dwell time of a target pattern. A concatentation technique employing a loosely set detection threshold makes it very unlikely that a correct pattern will be rejected. A method for forming the target patterns is also described.

Title: Improvements in the treatment of water to remove gas-vacuolate cyanobacteria
Inventor: CLARKE KEITH BRIAN
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1987-09-23
Granted: 1990-04-04
Abstract: The treatment of water to remove gas vacuolate cyanobacteria is effected by subjecting the water to a predetermined pressure by being pumped down a centrally located pipe (24) in a bore-hole (12), which is steel lined (13). This causes the gas vesicles in the cyanobacteria to collapse. The treated water is then stored in a settling tank (14) where the cyanobacteria sink to the bottom and can be removed along with any other sediment in the water. The method can be applied to decrease the amount of cyanobacteria with gas vesicles in a lake or other water impoundment.

Title: Tuning display device - has voltage controlled reactances and switching means for variable control voltage
IPC: H04B/
Filed: 1975-02-21
Granted: 1979-05-10
Abstract: A number of frequency range display elements is arranged in a row. They cover the whole frequency band, so that each display element corresponds to one of several frequency ranges, in which the frequency band is divided. A driving circuit responds to the variable control voltage and selectively activates the display element whose frequency range includes the frequency to which the tuner is set by the control voltage. In a preferred embodiment frequency ranges belonging to neighbouring display elements can partly overlap at both ends, so that only the part not overlapping is shown on a diaply element, while the overlapping parts are shown on the neighbouring elements. A more sensitive indication is thereby achieved with a relatively small number of display elements.
