Title: Controlling loudness of speech in signals that contain speech and other types of audio material
Inventor: VINTON MARK STUART
IPC: G10L19/14
Filed: 2003-08-15
Abstract: Mechanisms are known that allow receivers to control loudness of speech in broadcast signals but these mechanisms require an estimate of speech loudness be inserted into the signal. Disclosed techniques provide improved estimates of loudness. According to one implementation, an indication of the loudness of an audio signal containing speech and other types of audio material is obtained by classifying segments of audio information as either speech or non-speech. The loudness of the speech segments is estimated and this estimate is used to derive the indication of loudness. The indication of loudness maybe used to control audio signal levels so that variations in loudness of speech between different programs is reduced. A preferred method for classifying speech segments is described.

Title: Pipe centralizer and method of forming
Inventor: SLACK MAURICE WILLIAM
IPC: B21D26/033
Filed: 2003-09-23
Abstract: A centralizer for installing on a metal pipe. The centralizer includes a generally tubular body having a central opening sufficiently large to allow insertion therethrough of a pipe having an external diameter; a sidewall of substantially uniform thickness including an inner-facing surface directed to the central opening and an outer-facing surface onto which are formed a plurality of outwardly protruding ribs by hydroforming the sidewall. A method for hydroforming a centralizer including placing a length of metal tubular work piece, the work piece having a sidewall and an central opening, inside a confining surface comprised of mold elements, the mold elements including cavities spaced and shaped in the configuration of desired side wall centralizer ribs, the mold elements being supported substantially against expansion radially outward from their position about the tubular work piece; applying sufficient pressure to the side wall through the inner bore to force the tubular sidewall radially outward against the confining surface and into the mold cavities to plastically deform the side wall to form centralizer ribs on the side wall; and removing the tubular work piece from the confining surface.

Title: Method and intermedia used to obtain derivatives of 1-(1h- benzimidazole-2-il)-4-(2-aminopyrimidine)piperidine
Inventor: BONDE-LARSEN ANTONIO LORENTE
IPC: C07D491/10
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of obtaining derivatives of 1-(1H-benzimidazole-2-il)-4-(2-aminopyrimidine)piperidine (IV), wherein - R1 represents hydrogen or 4-halobenzyl and R5 represents optionally-substituted hydrogen, alkyl or benzyl. The inventive method comprises the conversion of a 1-Ä1-(R1)-1H-benzimidazole-2-ilÜ-4-(R2)(R3)-piperidine (I), wherein R2 or R3 represents optionally-protected hydroxy, or R2 and R3 represent, independently of each other, optionally-substituted alkoxy or benzyloxy, or R2 and R3 together form an optionally-substituted alkylenedioxy group, by means of hydrolysis and/or oxidation into a 1-Ä1-(R1)-1H-benzimidazole-2-ilÜ-4-piperidone, which, by reductive amination (with optional separation of the intermediate imina formed) provides the corresponding amine which, by reaction with a pyrimidine, produces the above-mentioned derivative of 1-(1H-benzimidazole-2-il)-4-(2-aminopyrimidine) piperidine (IV).
Patent AU-2003281643-A1 (AU)
Title: Switched-current analogue-to-digital converter
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN B
IPC: H03M1/06
Filed: 2003-07-08
Abstract: An current mode analogue-to-digital converter uses a conversion stage which operates using a two-phase clock and which requires the input signal to be present during only one of the phases. A sample-and-hold circuit ( 120, 130, 135 ) samples the input signal during the first clock phase and during the second clock phase a quantised bit value is generated from a mirror of the held input current by a kickback-free comparator circuit ( 140 ). Also during the second clock phase a residue is generated using the quantised value and a non-mirrored version of the held input current. Optionally, two comparator circuits ( 140, 140'' ) may be used to provide two-level quantisation, enabling errors introduced by the current mirror to be corrected by a Redundant Signed Digit algorithm. Two pipelines of conversion stages (S<SUB>i</SUB>', S<SUB>i</SUB>'') can be multiplexed to double the conversion rate.
