20120007731 | I C U helmet stop lamp - The Helmet Stop Lamp is incorporated into motorcycle helmets. At the lower rear of the helmet, a horizontal array of five red LED, light-emitting diodes, are incorporated into the helmet. These diodes are powered by current from a secure plug-in jack which is incorporated into the right rear of the helmet. The jack, in turn, extends through a flexible, spiral, extensible coated wire approximately three feet in length, this wire fitted with another plug-in jack at the distal end, and this jack in turn plugs into a fitting which is wired into the bike's electrical system. Once the jacks are plugged in, the act of braking, handbrake or footbrake or both, closes a switch and creates a circuit in which current flows to the LED array at the rear of the helmet. The stronger the braking, the more current moves to the LED's, and the brighter and more intense the red lights glow. | 01-12-2012 |

20110302443 | Method and System for Synchronizing Multiple Secure Clocks - A method for synchronizing secure clocks in a system without using any external clock, a system configured to perform the method, and a computer medium storing system code. Each secure clock is adjustable subject to a set of predetermined adjustment constraints. The intersection of the adjustment constraints of all the clocks is a limit intersection. The clocks may be synchronized to an average adjusted time of the secure clocks (if the average adjusted time is within the limit intersection) or to a substitute average adjusted time within the limit intersection if the average adjusted time is outside the limit intersection. Synchronization can occur in response to a request to adjust at least one of the clocks by a proposed clock adjustment value or to synchronize at least one of them without otherwise adjusting them. | 12-08-2011 |
20140139738 | SYNCHRONIZATION AND SWITCH OVER METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN ADAPTIVE AUDIO SYSTEM - Embodiments are described for a synchronization and switchover mechanism for an adaptive audio system in which multi-channel (e.g., surround sound) audio is provided along with object-based adaptive audio content. A synchronization signal is embedded in the multi-channel audio stream and contains a track identifier and frame count for the adaptive audio stream to play out. The track identifier and frame count of a received adaptive audio frame is compared to the track identifier and frame count contained in the synchronization signal. If either the track identifier or frame count does not match the synchronization signal, a switchover process fades out the adaptive audio track and fades in the multi-channel audio track. The system plays the multi-channel audio track until the synchronization signal track identifier and frame count and adaptive audio track identifier and frame count match, at which point the adaptive audio content will be faded back in. | 05-22-2014 |

20130072358 | Target Simulating Heavy Bag Cover - A target simulating heavy bag cover comprises a sheet, a simulation image, and a fastener. The sheet wraps around the heavy bag and braces the target simulating heavy bag cover against the heavy bag. The sheet provides additionally cushioning between the user's physical attacks and the heavy bag so that the heavy bag does not deform and the physical damage to the user's body is reduced. The simulation image is printed onto the sheet and provides the user with a number of realistic targets on the human body. The simulation image allows the user to hone the accuracy of their physical attacks aiming for the targets. The fastener is used to attach one end of the sheet to the other end of the sheet once the sheet is wrapped around the heavy bag. | 03-21-2013 |
