Title: Multi-channel audio enhancement system for use in recording and playback and methods for providing same
Inventor: KLAYMAN ARNOLD I
IPC: H04S3/00
Filed: 1997-10-31
Abstract: An audio enhancement system and method for use receives a group of multi-channel audio signals and provides a simulated surround sound environment through playback of only two output signals. The multi-channel audio signals comprise a pair of front signals intended for playback from a forward sound stage and a pair of rear signals intended for playback from a rear sound stage. The front and rear signals are modified in pairs by separating an ambient component of each pair of signals from a direct component and processing at least some of the components with a head-related transfer function. Processing of the individual audio signal components is determined by an intended playback position of the corresponding original audio signals. The individual audio signal components are then selectively combined with the original audio signals to form two enhanced output signals for generating a surround sound experience upon playback.

Patent AU-5350086-A (AU)
Title: Boat for vertical and horizontal transfer
Inventor: PEYRE XAVIER
IPC: B66C13/02
Filed: 1986-02-14
Abstract: This invention relates to a boat designed as a self-hoisting unit for the vertical and horizontal transfer of persons and/or equipment from a ship to an offshore platform and vice versa. The boat carries a hollow mast forming a guide for a cable, the upper end of which will be attached to a carrier structure extending outwardly from a platform or ship. The mast is held by shrouds so as to withstand large flexural strains. For compensating sea-swell, the lower end of the cable passes over a damper unit comprising an hydraulic cylinder associated with pulleys of two opposed tackle-blocks. The cable is driven by a winch so that the boat can autonomously hoist itself to the platform deck level, or lower itself down to the sea or onto the deck of a ship. The mast height is sufficient for generating an uprighting torque ensuring horizontal stability of the boat during its ascent and descent. The boat is suitable for carrying a large number of persons, for instance as a lifeboat or for a shuttle service between offshore platforms.

Title: Radiographic contrast material injector
Inventor: WILSON ROBERT F
IPC: A61M5/168
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: An angiographic injector system (10) includes a motor driven pump (18) which delivers radiographic contrast material to a catheter (30) at a variable flow rate which is interactively controlled by a user. Operation of the pump (18) is controlled by the user, through a user actuated remote control (14). The angiographic system (10) also includes a manifold (26) and a valve which selectively connects either a syringe pump (18) or a low pressure system (38) to a catheter (30) which is inserted into a patient. The valve is normally biased to a state which connects the low pressure system (38) to the catheter (30) for pressure monitoring, saline flushing, or aspirating functions. When an injection is to be made, the valve automatically switches so that the low pressure system (38) is disconnected and not exposed to high pressure, while the syringe pump (18) is connected through the manifold (26) to the catheter (30).

Date Oct. 24, 1996A method for joining two or more metal parts (1, 2) together. According to the invention, the joining is carried out by using roll forming techniques by placing the metal parts (1, 2) on top of each other on the form face (7) of a tool (4) which is made to rotate, and by arranging the topmost part (1) in linear roll contact with a forming tool (6) which is also in rotational movement, whereby the malleable deformation of the metal in the slot between the tools integrates the parts together. A mesh or perforated plate (2) of harder metal in particular can be joined to the sheet-like part (1) of a softer metal by using roll forming, by making the metal ingredient of the latter to penetrate the apertures (12) in the former. The invention can be applied in the manufacture of frying pans or other cooking vessels which are provided with induction-heated bottoms by joining, for example, a magnetic steel mesh or perforated plate to the bottom of a vessel made of aluminum, as part of the forming of an aluminum blank into the form of a vessel by using roll forming.

Title: Media access control protocol with priority and contention-free intervals
Inventor: YONGE LAWRENCE W III
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-08-02
Abstract: An access contention scheme having both multi-level priorities and a contention-free access indicator 130 for use by a station 12 in a network of stations 10. A station 12 having a frame to transmit determines from a detected contention control indicator 130 if it is permitted to contend for access to a transmission medium 14 during a contention period 290. The station 12 determines if the contention control indicator 130 indicates a contention-free access and, if the contention control indicator 130 indicates a contention-free access, the station 12 determines if a channel access priority level associated with the frame to be transmitted is higher than a channel access priority level 144 associated with a last transmitted frame. If so, the station 12 detects whether any station in the network of stations 10 intends to contend for access to the medium 14 at a channel access priority level that is higher than the channel access priority level associated with the frame to be transmitted. If so, the station 12 defers contention for access. <IMAGE>
