Title: Tensioner with reinstallation feature
Inventor: LEHTOVAARA JORMA J
IPC: F16H7/12
Filed: 2006-03-20
Granted: 2015-04-14
Abstract: A tensioner enables easy and reliable reinstallation of the tensioner and belt in the field service while simultaneously making it possible to utilize a one-way clutch device to ensure continuous belt tension control without cumbersome manual alignment and/or realignment procedures. The tensioner has a pivot shaft configured for mounting on an engine surface. A tensioner arm is mounted on the pivot shaft for pivotal movement between a free arm stop position and premount stop position. A belt-engaging pulley is mounted for rotation on the tensioner arm. A base cup is rotatably mounted around an end of the pivot shaft. The base cup has an arcuate slot having a free arm stop end and a premount stop end. The tensioner arm cooperates with the arcuate slot limiting the pivotal movement of the tensioner arm. A spring is coupled between the tensioner arm and the base cup biasing the tensioner arm in a belt-tensioning direction. An anti- kickback stop mechanism engages the pivot shaft and has a lost motion connection with the tensioner arm wherein the tensioner arm moves through a free range without engaging the anti-kickback mechanism. The tensioner arm 1) rotates the anti-kickback mechanism as the tensioner arm moves beyond the free range towards the premount stop position and 2) enables the anti-kickback mechanism as the tensioner arm moves beyond the free range towards the free arm stop position, limiting travel of the tensioner arm therebeyond. The spring is fixable relative to the pivot shaft upon the tensioner being mounted on the engine surface.

Granted: 2013-08-06
Abstract: A signaling channel that punctures traffic channels is used to send signaling, e.g., acknowledgments (ACKs). To send signaling, resources for the signaling channel are determined, e.g., based on a frequency hopping pattern. Signaling is spread with a spreading code (e.g., a Walsh code) to generate spread signaling, which is mapped to the resources for the signaling channel. Each resource may be partitioned into multiple clusters. A signaling message may be mapped to different clusters to achieve diversity. Traffic data may also be mapped to other resources for a traffic channel assigned for use. Traffic data mapped to the other resources for the signaling channel is punctured. The mapped signaling and traffic data are further processed (e.g., for OFDM or SC-FDMA) and transmitted.

Title: Identifying keyword occurrences in audio data
Inventor: GUPTA VISHWA NATH
IPC: G10L15/22
Filed: 2010-01-13
Granted: 2014-10-14
Abstract: Occurrences of one or more keywords in audio data are identified using a speech recognizer employing a language model to derive a transcript of the keywords. The transcript is converted into a phoneme sequence. The phonemes of the phoneme sequence are mapped to the audio data to derive a time-aligned phoneme sequence that is searched for occurrences of keyword phoneme sequences corresponding to the phonemes of the keywords. Searching includes computing a confusion matrix. The language model used by the speech recognizer is adapted to keywords by increasing the likelihoods of the keywords in the language model. For each potential occurrences keywords detected, a corresponding subset of the audio data may be played back to an operator to confirm whether the potential occurrences correspond to actual occurrences of the keywords.
