Title: Transformer beads with flux-interrupting grooves
Inventor: CHAPMAN JACK
IPC: H01F3/08
Filed: 2012-05-24
Abstract: A transformer bead or core 10' comprises a body formed with at least first and second channels 16, 18, which may be cylindrical, for receiving transformer windings wherein at least one groove or notch 30 is formed in the body extending between and parallel to the channels. The groove acts to provide a flux gap such that when the transformer bead 10' is used to carry two separate transformer windings 20, 22, the groove 30 interrupts the flux path occurring in the magnetic bead 10' substantially reducing cross-coupling. The groove 30 may have an outwardly curved, tapered cross-section with a flat base. There may be upper and lower grooves 30, directly opposing each other, and the depth of the groove or grooves may range from 20 to 80% of the body 10' height. The bead 10' may be incorporated into an electronic device or circuit (40, Figure 4). The transformer may be used in a cable television splitter circuit.

Title: Scheduling of Machine Type Communications (MTC) in a wireless communications system
Inventor: HANEJI HAYATO
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2012-09-21
Abstract: A system is disclosed in which a communications device (MTC device) communicates via a cell operated by a base station of a communications network. The communications device identifies that transmission of data to the communications network has been triggered and determines whether an indication of radio quality in the cell exceeds a required radio quality threshold. The communications device transmits the data to the communications network after a delay if the quality of radio signals does not exceed the required radio quality threshold and without the delay if the quality of radio signals exceeds the required radio quality threshold. A predetermined maximum allowed delay is defined and if this is reached then the data is transmitted regardless of radio quality. The device conserves battery power by measuring radio signal quality before powering up the transceiver, and only powers up and transmits when conditions are favourable. If radio quality is seen to be decreasing, the device starts to transmit data. The device may receive values for a delay timer and quality threshold from the current cell and upon cell reselection may update these values.

Title: Work vehicle with charge pressure reduction circuit which improves transmission efficiency
Inventor: FOXEN JACOB J
IPC: B60W50/08
Filed: 2012-11-28
Abstract: A work vehicle comprises a transmission having a clutch circuit and a charge pressure reduction circuit 100 with a directional control valve 101 with a solenoid 101c that receives signals from a controller 60. The controller 60 is in communication with various sensors, such as seat rotational position sensor 11a   , service brake sensor 50a, park brake sensor 51a or other sensors or devices, and may determine an operating mode of the vehicle. When the seat rotational position sensor 11a    detects that a seat (11a, fig 1) is in a backhoe operating position, the controller 60 operates the solenoid 101c to open valve 101, thereby lowering pressure for a change pump 42 from a first pressure P1 to a second lower pressure P2 which is used in a lubrication circuit. In other embodiments a mode sensor is in communication with a mode sensor and causes a bypass valve or a flow control device to assume a first position/condition upon receiving a first signal from the mode sensor.

Title: Accurate forward SNR estimation based on MMSE speech probability presence
Inventor: LAMY GUILLAUME
IPC: G10L25/84
Filed: 2013-12-23
Abstract: Acoustic noise (706) in an audio signal (708) is reduced by calculating a speech probability presence (SPP, equation 3.11) factor 812 using minimum mean square error (MMSE). The SPP factor 806, which has a value typically ranging between zero and one, is then modified or warped 810 responsive to a value obtained from the evaluation of a sigmoid function, the shape of which is determined by a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) 804, which may be obtained by an evaluation of the signal energy and noise energy output from a microphone (702) over time, for each frequency band k of a data frame. The shape and aggressiveness of the sigmoid function (fig. 11) is thus determined using an extrinsically-determined SNR (equation 2), not determined by the MMSE determination (740), over a long-term history of speech or noise probabilities.

Title: Methods and systems for attenuating noise in seismic data
Inventor: GROENESTIJN GERT-JAN ADRIAAN VAN
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2014-09-02
Abstract: The disclosure presents computational systems and methods for attenuating noise in seismic data. The seismic data may be recorded by distributed sensors in response to acoustic signals emanating from one or more sources activated at approximately the same location with a time delay between activations of the one or more sources. The system and methods form an initial gather of traces from the seismic data and generate 1504 time-shifted gathers based on the initial gather and the time delays between activation of the sources. A realization gather is formed 1510 from traces selected from the initial gather and the time-shifted gathers. Noise in the seismic data is attenuated in the realization gather and may be removed. The realizations gathers may be used to generate high-resolution seismic images of the subterranean formation and enable quantitative seismic interpretation and improved reservoir monitoring. In one aspect, two or more sources are towed through a body of water and activated at approximately the same location. In another aspect, the seismic data may be generated by sensors of a land-based survey.
