Title: Generating a customized greeting message in the media format of the received communication event
Inventor: MOHLER DAVID S
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2009-08-04
Abstract: A technique is disclosed that enables a telecommunications user to initially enter a greeting message in a single media format such as either voice or text. Subsequently, this greeting message is used by a server in response to any communication event that arrives for the user, such as a voice call or an email message, regardless of the media format of the arriving communication event. When the server receives arrival notifications of various communication events, it generates a customized greeting message in response to that event and in the same media format as the event itself. In other words, the server represents a previously-prepared outgoing voice or text message i) as a voice message in response to an incoming voice call and ii) as a textual message in response to an email, SMS text message, or instant message. Aspects of the invention include the server using one or more fields from a user's calendar database which results in a customised greeting indicating a user's whereabouts (meeting, lunch, trip, vacation etc). In another aspect, the server accounts for the user's presence.

Title: Repairing disturbance events in audio recordings
Inventor: DENSHAM ROD
IPC: G11B20/24
Filed: 2009-10-05
Abstract: Repairing an audio recording where a difference signal is calculated by subtracting a predicted harmonic signal from the harmonic signal content of the audio recording. Acoustic excitation events are detected when the difference signal exceeds a threshold. The maximum amplitude of each indicated excitation event is displayed 20 as a function of the maximum duration of the excitation event 24. This produces an events display 20 which allows an operator to visually distinguish between excitation events that are present as a result of a disturbance, such as a pop, click or crackle, in the audio recording and indicated excitation events that are present as a result of natural harmonics in the audio recording, e.g. from brass music. One or more of the displayed excitation events is repaired. An operator may define a zone (36) on the events display relating to events that are natural in the audio to exclude these events from repair.

Title: Blur estimation in eye images via cosine amplitude and phase matching
Inventor: MCCLOSKEY SCOTT
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2009-12-17
Abstract: A method for blur estimation in eye or iris images comprises: locating an image region containing an eye 402 and identifying a centre of a pupil region 408; re-sampling the image along lines of various orientations 410, each line passing through the pupil centre region, generating data for an image model; and determining an amplitude and phase of a cosine that most closely matches the data 416, the amplitude and phase respectively corresponding to blur extent and direction 418. A system and computer medium for such a method are also independently claimed. The method may further comprise: extracting multiple image regions 406 if the image contains multiple eyes 404; taking account of nearly circular pupils 412; estimating blurred edge widths 414; and finding the cosine amplitude and phase by least squares curve fitting 416. Model data may comprise blur width. The blur estimation can produce de-blurred images that are more useful for biometric identification. Iris and pupil region edges, or the shutter motion pattern or a characterization of the optical system, can be utilized. In a video stream, eye position before and after capture can predict eye motion.

Abstract: 643,196. Earth-boring apparatus; under-reamers. DEHN, S. G. (Baker Oil Tools, Inc.). April 13, 1948, No. 10259. [Class 85] A tubular plunger 20 of an under-reamer controls, through levers 23, the pivoted blades 15 by its movement in the bore 13 of the reamer body 10, the upper portion 25 of the bore being enlarged. In this enlarged portion 25 is a spring 28 which is maintained in compression between the bottom of the chamber and a piston-head 26 formed on the plunger so that, unless fluid pressure is exerted on the piston-head to overcome the spring 28, the blades are withdrawn into the slots 14 of the body 10. A restriction 32 is screwed into the bore 30 of the plunger and a sleeve 35 of hard metal, such as tungsten carbide, and of greater internal diameter than the passage 33, is positioned within the restriction, it being maintained there by a spacer sleeve 37 resting on a shoulder 38 formed in the bore 30. When the tool is in the desired position, fluid is pumped through the drill string 12 and pressure built up on the plunger head until the resistance of the spring is overcome and the resultant downward movement of the plunger forces the blades outwardly of the body 10. The fluid passes through the restriction leaving it with a high velocity resultant upon the decrease in pressure experienced, but since it impinges against the sleeve 35 expending energy thereon, when it subsequently flows through the bore 30, passages 31, 18 onto the blades no erosion or scoring occurs.
