Title: Chronoscope calibration
Inventor: PAUL OLDEN
IPC: G01B3/38
Filed: 2015-10-21
Abstract: A chronoscope is an instrument for measuring the time of flight of a projectile between two beams of light. The distance between the beams must be known accurately. An embodiment of the invention provides a calibration gauge 100 for a chronoscope, the gauge comprising a base portion 201 and a moveable portion 202 slidably mounted to the base portion 201 for translation along a linear translation path 203. The moveable portion 202 comprises first and second reference points 204a, 204b along the path 203, and a gap 205 between the first and second reference points 204a, 204b. The distance 206 between the first and second reference points 204a, 204b is adjustable by movement of the second reference point 204b relative to the first reference point 240a along the path 203. In use, the gauge is pushed into the chronoscope, interrupting the light beams. The distance between the reference points is adjusted. As this distance approaches the actual distance between the beams, the apparent speed measured by the chronoscope increases asymptotically. When the apparent speed exceeds a threshold value, the gauge is withdrawn and the distance between the reference points is accurately measured and used as a calibration constant.

Title: Speech recognition
Inventor: ROBERT JAMES HATFIELD
IPC: G10L17/24
Filed: 2013-06-26
Abstract: A speech recognition system (in eg. in a mobile phone) stores an input signal from a microphone (100 or 102) in a first buffer (110) and generates a noise-reduced signal (134) in a second block (146) before selecting (140) which of the signals to send to a speech recognition engine (132). Aspects of the invention include the detection (120) and validation (130) of a trigger phrase or pass phrase (eg. hello phone) which, when spoken by an authorised speaker (identified by speaker verification), wakes up the speech recognition engine, with a time delay being applied to either signal stored in buffers (110) and (146) in order to synchronise them. This multi-phase process allows computationally intensive speech recognition to be automatically powered down between uses.
