Title: System and method for controlling a filter to enhance speakerphone performance
Inventor: LOGAN TAMARA L
IPC: H04M1/60
Filed: 2002-12-17
Granted: 2009-07-28
Abstract: In a speakerphone system, the signal that is directed to a loudspeaker is filtered by a dynamically controllable highpass filter. The filter characteristics are adjusted on the basis of the power of the signal and the degree of recent microphone activity. The filtered signal is a far-talker signal, while the microphone activity is represented as a near-talker signal that includes an echo component as a consequence of loudspeaker-to-microphone coupling. The degree of microphone activity is determined by a subband analyzer. A noise floor estimator may be used to determine the degree to which the near-talker signal is comprised of background noise, so that the noise can be eliminated in the process of controlling the highpass filter

Granted: 2011-10-04
Abstract: A known type of surface wave energy converter comprises a submerged elongated tube (10) supported by, but being vertically movable relative to, an anchored float (16). The tube (10) vertically reciprocates in response to overpassing surface waves and drives a transducer (44) for generating useful energy.  Improvements include: a motion translator (38, 50, 54) between the tube and the transducer for reducing the stroke length of the transducer (44) and magnifying the force transmitted to the transducer (44); an energy buffer system (60, 62a, 62b) for limiting the travel of the tube (10) in response to excessively large surface waves, a gravity anchor (20) for the system for absorbing energy from even greater amplitude waves; means for adjusting buoyancy in response to changing conditions, and pressure relief valves for automatically reducing excessive tube driving pressures caused by excessively large overpassing waves. Energy present in tilting movements of the apparatus is optionally captured in horizontally disposed transducers.

Title: Arrangement for router attachments between roaming mobile routers in a mobile network
Inventor: MOLTENI MARCO
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-08-14
Granted: 2008-10-28
Abstract: A mobile router is configured for attaching to a selected router in a mobile network based on identifying a network topology model of the mobile network from received router advertisement messages that include tree information option fields specifying attributes of the network topology model. The mobile router selects which router advertisement originator to attach to based on correlating the attributes of the router advertisement originators relative to identified priorities, and orders the router advertisement originators within a default router list based on the identified priorities. The mobile router attaches to one of the routers in the ordered default router list having a higher priority, and upon attaching to the router advertisement originator as its attachment router, the mobile router transmits its own corresponding router advertisement message including a corresponding tree option field that specifies the attributes of the mobile router within the network topology model, enabling other routers to selectively connect and/or reconnect within the mobile network based on their respective identified preferences.

Abstract: A system and related techniques automatically analyze Web search and other activity, to generate locality-selected results based on not just the user's location, but also the business or other content provider's location and the degree of local intent in the user's query. The locality or region to the user may be identified, for instance, by the presence of geographic clues or indicators in the general content of the Web site, for instance, the presence of ZIP codes, telephone numbers, town names or other semantic or other indicators which have some geographic connotation in search terms, key words or other query or semantic inputs. The user's degree of local intent may be automatically analyzed as well, for instance by the presence of terms such as "car repair" or "pizza restaurant" which may suggest the user intends to locate local goods, services or providers. The search service may then access a content database to identify ads or other media or content which match or correspond to the detected locality or region, such as ads for local restaurants, car dealerships, physicians or other services or products, and which correspond in location, working radius and degree of localness to the user's query. Because the delivery of localized search results according to the invention is specifically filtered for user-driven local intent, advertisements and other media or content may be delivered which better match the user's search objectives.
