Patent GB-2488182-A (GB)
Title: Phantom powered audio dynamics processor
Inventor: GWINN ROY
IPC: H03G7/00
Filed: 2011-02-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a phantom-powered, balanced audio dynamics processor suitable for direct connection to conventional balanced output electrodynamic or capacitor microphones. The device provides dynamic range compression. The device includes a low-noise, low-power balanced analog variable gain amplifier (VGA) based on a long-tailed pair TR1 & TR2, and a microprocessor-controlled side chain for level detection, dynamics processing and linearization of gain control. In an embodiment, the microprocessor IC1 effects control of gain by varying the conductivity of FET TR3. The microprocessor also controls the user interface and display. The VGA and the microprocessor are arranged in a series totem-pole configuration which includes the indicator LEDs.Â  In embodiments, the device is sufficiently small to fit within the shell of an XLR male to female adapter, a quarter inch jack plug, or within the body of the microphone itself. The form factor of the product and the fact that it requires no separate power supply or batteries, means that the benefits of compression (specifically improved audibility and intelligibility of the human voice) may be exploited where microphones are used (e.g. in public address systems in noisy environments such as railway stations or airports) but compression has hitherto been too inconvenient.

Title: Backgammon board and game for three or more players
Inventor: ROKAH TZUR
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 2011-09-05
Abstract: A backgammon game for three or more players uses a modified board 34. At least the particular graphic domains or points 38A-H upon which the playing pieces are placed before starting the game are represented as clusters of two or more points each numbering at least half the number of players the board is intended to accommodate. The points within a respective cluster share the same colour or shade. When moving pieces during play, each cluster may count as a single point, and when stopping his piece on a cluster a player may choose which point of the cluster to place his piece on. The multi-point clusters allow two players to place their pieces on the same points at the start of the game, thus allowing more than two players to play on the same board. The game and board may take the form of a computer or video game. To accommodate four players, the game start points 38A-H comprise clusters of two points, whilst the remaining points are single points. For a six player game (see figure 4), the game start points (46A-H) comprise clusters of three points, whilst the remaining points each comprise clusters of two points.

Title: Methods and apparatus for downhole characterization of emulsion stability
Inventor: INDO KENTARO
IPC: E21B49/10
Filed: 2010-09-30
Abstract: A method (and corresponding apparatus) for downhole fluid analysis of petroleum formation fluids. The method includes capturing in a chamber (30) of a downhole tool (10) at least two immiscible formation fluids in a generally segregated state (the fluids including petroleum), activating a fluid mixing means (62) to mix the fluids in the chamber to create an emulsion therefrom, and allowing the emulsified fluids to segregate while measuring light transmittance through the segregating fluids in order to calculate a transition time period based on the light transmittance through the fluids in the chamber. The transition time period is preferably bounded by the time required for the light transmittance values measured by the light detector to reach a baseline light transmittance. The transition time period characterizes the stability of an emulsion formed by the captured fluids.

Title: Navigation receiver
Inventor: GARMONOV ALEXANDR VASILIEVICH
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 2012-07-21
Abstract: A method of improving accuracy in a navigation system uses an error model (208) having a first term that models noise and a second term that models indirect signal propagation. The first term may be modelled by a Gaussian distribution (pdf, probability density function) and the second term by an exponential distribution. The distributions may be location (elevation) dependent, or depend on the single-to-noise ratio. By maximising the likelihood of observed data (210) (MLE     maximum likelihood estimation), given a number of known error model parameters (208), a number of unknown model parameters can be found. These unknown model parameters can provide a more accurate location, velocity or time estimate for the receiving device. The method and apparatus can be used in global satellite navigation systems such as the global positioning system (GPS) or terrestrial systems where many of the received signals are subject to multipath. Processing may be at the receiver or at a remote server.

Filed: 2012-09-03
Abstract: A transmission guide 100 comprises a shoe (110, fig 2) having a sliding-contact surface 110a for gliding a transmission chain (C, fig 1) in a guide longitudinal direction, and a synthetic resin base 120 having a supporting surface 120a for supporting a back surface 110b of the shoe (110). The synthetic resin base 120 having higher rigidity than the synthetic resin shoe (110) is integrally moulded with the synthetic resin shoe (110) by means of two-member moulding. The base 120 is provided with a pair of guide sidewalls 121 that sandwich the shoe (110) from both sides. Each sidewall 121 may have shoe engaging concave portions (222) which are dented in a guide width direction at predetermined intervals and may be chamfered, curved or tapered. This arrangement avoids an erroneous installation condition of the chain, prevents the sidewall from falling down to an inside and enhances fusing strength between the shoe and the base.

Title: Semantic parsing of objects in video
Inventor: VAQUERO DANIEL
IPC: G06V10/426
Filed: 2011-07-27
Abstract: The invention provides an improved method to detect semantic attributes of human body in computer vision. In detecting semantic attributes of human body in computer vision, the invention maintains a list of semantic attributes, each of which corresponds to a human body part. A computer module then analyzes segments of a frame of a digital video to detect each semantic attribute by finding a most likely attribute for each segment. A threshold is applied to select candidate segments of the frame for further analysis. The candidate segments of the frame then go through geometric and resolution context analysis by applying the physical structure principles of a human body and by analyzing increasingly higher resolution versions of the image to verify the existence and accuracy of parts and attributes. A computer module computes a resolution context score for a lower resolution version of the image based on a weighted average score computed for a higher resolution version of the image by evaluating appearance features, geometric features, and resolution context features when available on the higher resolution version of the image. Finally, an optimal configuration step is performed via dynamic programming to select an optimal output with both semantic attributes and spatial positions of human body parts on the frame.

The aperture 18 may be elongate in plan view and the enclosing wall 14 extends outwardly from the sides and front end of the aperture, further reducing the likelihood of spillage. The maximum width of the aperture 18 may be at least half the maximum width of the base wall 12, and the enclosing wall 14 may be formed into a handle portion 40 at one end 24 of the bottle. The aperture 18 may be upwardly and forwardly concave when viewed from the side with the lowermost portion of the aperture 18 substantially parallel to the base wall 12. The disposable urine bottle may be formed from maceratable dried, moulded paper pulp.
