Title: Methods and apparatus for dynamic endpoint generators and dynamic remote object discovery and brokerage
Inventor: PREEZ JACOBUS DU
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2011-09-21
Abstract: The system and method disclosed herein is a dynamic endpoint generator that enables a client device or application to consume business objects. Business objects expose a single logical data structure and view of a business object as well as a single set of logical methods that are associated with the business object. The business object is a dynamic business object whose definition can be changed by either adding or removing data or actions without the need to involve technical or development resources to reconfigure or recompile the actual objects. The endpoint generator provides updated endpoint information automatically without the need for manual generation of endpoint or contract data. If a business object is modified or newly added, the endpoint generator is automatically notified and publishes information about the modified or newly added object. The client device that is accessing the business object is notified about the modified or newly added object. Or, an endpoint is generated when a client device requests a business object.

Title: Location of criticality
Inventor: JOYCE MALCOLM JOHN
IPC: G21C17/00
Filed: 2014-01-20
Abstract: The present invention is a method of spatially locating a nuclear criticality 101 using a plurality of detection units 201, each comprising a gamma ray photon detector 203 and a neutron detector 205. The method uses data from each detecting unit regarding detected gamma photons and neutrons to estimate the distance from each detection unit to the location of the criticality, said estimated distance measurements being combined to determine the most likely spatial position of the criticality event. Preferably, a rapid rise in gamma photon activity starts a timing process at each detection unit 201, with the subsequent arrival time of a temporal peak of detected neutrons being used to estimate the distance from that unit to the criticality. Each neutron detector may additionally comprise a neutron spectrometer so that the energy spectrum of detected neutrons may be used in the distance measurements.

Title: Voice data transmission with adaptive redundancy
Inventor: MANI SENTHIL KUMAR
IPC: H04L1/08
Filed: 2014-03-28
Abstract: Voice data transmission with adaptive redundancy is described. Voice data is received 502 and encoded as a voice data payload. A voice data packet is created by packetizing the voice data payload and a number of redundant payloads selected from a set of previous voice data payloads. The voice data from the voice data payload is analysed to determine whether it is a critical or non-critical payload by classifying the received voice data as voiced or unvoiced 504. Voice data created by vocal chords vibrating is classified as voiced. If at least a portion of the voice data is classified as unvoiced, the voice data payload is determined to be a critical payload 506. If it is a critical payload, then the voice data payload is added to the set of previous voice data payloads for inclusion as a redundant payload in subsequent voice data packets. The voice data packet is then forwarded for transmission over the network. A critical payload is defined as a payload whose loss, in transmission across the network, cannot be concealed by the receiver. Voiced data payloads may also be classified 512 as critical from a determined variance from a waveform similarity factor 508. The redundancy level may be dynamic depending on a network statistics report such as for out-of-order or lost packet statistics.

Title: Synchronisation of audio and video playback
Inventor: BURRIDGE ROSS
IPC: H04N21/43
Filed: 2014-05-08
Abstract: Playback of audio content by portable device 300 is synchronised with displayed video content 100 based on at least one ultrasonic synchronisation signal received from a ultrasound signal generator 200 during display of the video content. The ultrasonic synchronisation signal encodes a respective timecode through modulation of one or more ultrasonic carrier signals. The ultrasonic synchronisation signal is received by a microphone, digitised and decoded by: calculating a frequency spectrum of each sample of the ultrasonic signal; estimating a respective background noise component of each of the plurality of frequency spectra; correcting each of the frequency spectra by removing the corresponding estimate of the background noise component to generate a corrected frequency spectrum of each sample; binarising the corrected frequency spectra of the samples to determining the corresponding timecode. A playback point in a stored audio content is determined based on the determined timecode, and the stored audio content is played from the determined playback point such that the audio content is played in synchronisation with the video content.

Title: Internet Domain categorization
Inventor: LEIRVIK AUSTIN ELIAS
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2014-05-15
Abstract: Categorizing a plurality of domain identifiers of network domains using a neural network having a hidden layer connected to an output layer. A plurality of sequences of training data is accessed, each representing a respective user's browsing history and constituting a sequence of domain identifiers of network domains accessed by that user having positions in that sequence which convey the order in which those domains were accessed. The neural network is trained to model relationships between different domain identifiers based on their positions in the sequences of training data relative to one another, the step of training comprising modifying parameters of the hidden layer. Semantic vectors are assigned to the plurality of domain identifiers based on the modified parameters, and categories are assigned to the plurality of domain identifiers by matching their assigned semantic vectors. The neural network may be trained to model the association based only on the conveyed order of the domain identifiers rather than on any content obtained from the identified domains. Website categorization can therefore be achieved without looking at the websites themselves, but rather looking at patterns of website visits.

Title: Telephone call processing
Inventor: CRAIG SHILLING
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 2014-12-11
Abstract: Processing a telephone call including: initiating a telephone call; taking a first action if the telephone call is answered before a call alert is initiated; and taking a second action if the telephone call is answered after the call alert is initiated. Thus, if the call is answered before the call alerting event occurs it is interpreted as a non-human (e.g. answering machine, voicemail, digital assistant, artificial intelligence, a computer, machine, or an IVR) answering condition. This can occur because the process that answers the call does not need to wait for a call alerting event or signal before detecting a call. A second embodiment includes taking a first action if the telephone call is answered within a time period following a call alert being initiated; and taking a second action if the telephone call is answered after expiry of the time period. Thus, a call being answered very soon after the call alerting event can also indicate that a machine (or non-human process) has answered. The first action may comprise terminating the call and the second action allowing the call to proceed. The first action may comprise allowing the call to proceed provided one or more criteria are met.

Title: Monitoring acoustic energy of headset
Inventor: AMIR NOORALAHIYAN
IPC: G01H3/14
Filed: 2015-04-22
Abstract: Acoustic energy experienced by a user 100 of an acoustic headset 20 is monitored by obtaining 50 an accumulated acoustic energy already experienced since a start time, determining 60 a remaining allowable acoustic energy according to a maximum allowable threshold, determining and indicating to the user a predicted 70 remaining listening time based on an actual rate of acoustic energy, and on the remaining allowable acoustic energy. The remaining time according to the actual rate of acoustic energy may be updated when there is a change in volume control by the user. The gain of the output of the headset may be controlled to cause the accumulated acoustic energy to reach the maximum threshold at the end of a listening period specified by the user. Volume control input from the user may result in a gradual change in gain, ceasing controlling the gain, or ignoring the input. A user input indicating a pause may be compensated for. A computing device 10 may generate an audio signal for the headset 20 and display 90 the output of remaining listening time or accumulated acoustic energy.
