Title: An apparatus and method for the purification of air entering animal transport vehicle
Inventor: BERCICH GIOVANNI
IPC: B60H1/24
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: An air purifier (10) for an animal transport vehicle, such as a horse float (12), has a first air flow passageway (22) for receiving air and directing it in a first direction, and a second air flow passageway (40) continuous with the first air flow passageway and adapted to direct air received from the first air flow passageway in a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction. There is a bend region (42) joining the first and second air flow passageways where the change in the direction of air occurs. An air egress passageway (34) has an opening (36) adjacent the bend region so as to divert some of the air therethrough. The passageway (34) is so configured as to create a venturi effect on the diverted air. A filter (43) is located downstream of the second air flow passageway (40) and is mounted across an opening of the transport vehicle so that air flowing through the second air flow passageway is filtered before entering the transport vehicle.

Title: Water feed controller for a boiler
Inventor: MERWIN JEFFREY C
IPC: F22D5/26
Filed: 2005-12-09
Abstract: A water feed controller which can provide for the addition of a preset fixed amount of water to be added after a low water condition is removed. This system provides for a preset fixed amount of water to be added to a boiler above the amount which triggers the low water condition. This generally inhibits excess cycling from the boiler operating at its minimum safe water level as well as inhibiting overfilling of the boiler. Further, there is discussed a water feed controller which can measure the amount of water added over a prior predetermined period (such as 30 days) which serves as a floating window of time so that a leak or other condition resulting in overly frequent filling can be detected quickly.

Title: Systems and methods for composing music
Inventor: GANNON PETER
IPC: G10H1/00
Filed: 2009-04-21
Abstract: A system and method for generating a new composition based on a database of pre-recorded performances of existing compositions. A system and method for generating an automated method for converting existing performances and associated MIDI transcriptions to a database and generating a new composition from the database.  Musical improvisations are performed by musicians, in digital audio format.  The digital audio data is transcribed to MIDI data and stored in a song file. The tempo, chord symbols used and key signature are input, and added to the song file. The digital audio file is analyzed and markers for the start and the end of phrases are added in a phrase marker text file. The system analyzes the MIDI transcriptions, chords, and phrase marker text. Information about sections and phrases of the solo from the phrase market text are stored in a "Riffs" file. The MIDI data transcriptions, the chord symbols and the Riffs files are combined into a Soloist Database File, consisting of one or more MIDI  transcriptions of the audio improvisations. The musician's performances are stored as digital audio files such as WAV format files. An Options file is created by the user to control parameters about the solo to be generated. The system then generates a new improvisation based on any input chord progression and key, and the Options file, by choosing portions of the Soloist Database and corresponding portions of the digital audio files to construct the new improvisation. MIDI transcriptions corresponding to the digital audio performance are displayable as notation, piano roll, and on-screen instrument keyboard or fretboard.
