Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100306713Gesture Tool - Systems, methods and computer readable media are disclosed for a gesture tool. A capture device captures user movement and provides corresponding data to a gesture recognizer engine and an application. From that, the data is parsed to determine whether it satisfies one or more gesture filters, each filter corresponding to user-performed gesture. The data and the information about the filters is also sent to a gesture tool, which displays aspects of the data and filters. In response to user input corresponding to a change in a filter, the gesture tool sends an indication of such to the gesture recognizer engine and application, where that change occurs.12-02-2010

20080243589Questionnaire-driven system configuration - A system may determine a plurality of questions, each of the plurality of questions associated with one or more answer fields, associate each of a plurality of system configuration tasks with one or more of the one or more answer fields, and generate an executable questionnaire including the plurality of questions and indicating the plurality of system configuration tasks and the one or more of the one or more answer fields associated with each of the plurality of system configuration tasks. A system may also include receive an executable questionnaire comprising questions associated with answer fields, and indicating system configuration tasks associated with one or more of the answer fields, receive answers associated with the answer fields, and automatically generate a configuration project based on the received answers and on the system configuration tasks associated with one or more of the answer fields.10-02-2008

20080248940Solid-Wall Centrifuge Comprising a Weir Provided With a Stationary Deflector Plate - A solid-bowl centrifuge comprising, a centrifugal drum rotatable about a horizontal axis of rotation, the centrifugal drum including a weir to drain a liquid out of the centrifugal drum, the weir including a passage having at least one passage opening in an axial end region of the centrifugal drum that includes a drum lid: a deflector plate arranged outside the centrifugal drum and in front of the drum lid, the deflector plate being stationary during an operation of the centrifugal drum and widening at least in sections as the deflector plate extends away from the centrifugal drum: and the deflector plate including an interior jacket, and a distance of the interior jacket from the horizontal axis of rotation not being constant but widening.10-09-2008
20100035742FULLY JACKETED SCREW CENTRIFUGE WITH EFFLUX ORIFICES FOR PARTIAL AND RESIDUAL EMPTYING OF THE DRUM - A solid-bowl centrifuge that includes a drum rotatable about a horizontal axis of rotation and a screw arranged in the drum. Also included are a continuous solids discharge located at a first end of the drum and a continuous liquid discharge located at a second, opposite end of the drum. Further included is at least one discontinuously acting outlet opening including a closure device.02-11-2010
20100041535SOLID-BOWL SCREW CENTRIFUGE AND PROCESS FOR ITS OPERATION - A solid-bowl screw centrifuge includes a rotatable drum having a horizontal axis of rotation, which drum surrounds a centrifuging space. Further included is a screw which is arranged within the drum, the screw being rotatable at a different speed relative to the drum. Further included is at least one liquid discharge sealed from its surroundings and at least one solid discharge in a tapering region of the drum. Also included is an immersion disk on the screw which disk lies between a liquid feed and the solid discharge and divides the centrifuging space into a discharge space between the immersion disk and the solid discharge, and a separation space between the immersion disk and the liquid discharge. The centrifuge includes a device for charging the separation space with a gas. A process for operating for the solid-bowl centrifuge is also disclosed.02-18-2010
20100105536THREE-PHASE SOLID BOWL SCREW CENTRIFUGE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SEPARATING PROCESS - A three-phase solid bowl screw centrifuge has a rotatable drum (04-29-2010

20090147975SPATIAL PROCESSING STEREO SYSTEM - A spatial processing stereo system (“SPSS”) that receives audio signals and a limited number of user input parameters associated with the spatial attributes of a room, such as “room size”, “stage distance”, and “stage width”. The input parameters are used to define a listening room and generate coefficients, room impulse responses, and scaling factors that are used generate additional surround signals.06-11-2009
20090232332CLASS-D TRANSCONDUCTANCE AMPLIFIER - The invention relates to a class-D audio amplifier. The class-D audio amplifier is configured in a current feedback mode as a voltage-controlled current source and a passive inductor/capacitor (LC) reconstruction filter. A portion of the passive LC reconstruction filter is situated in a feedback loop to an error amplifier.09-17-2009
20090316930WIDE-BAND EQUALIZATION SYSTEM - A Wide-band Equalization System (“WBES”) based on near- and far-field measurement data. The WBES includes a subwoofer equalizer having an FIR filter together with decimator and interpolator filters for processing low frequency signals. The WBES may also include satellite channels for processing mid- and high-frequency signals, where each satellite channel includes cascaded IIR filters that process mid-frequency and high-frequency signals, respectively. The WBES may also include a DSP that performs the functions required by the IIR and FIR filters.12-24-2009
20110116642Audio System with Portable Audio Enhancement Device - A portable audio enhancement device is configured for enhancing audio signals, and may be utilized in an audio system. The audio system may include a portable audio source, the audio enhancement device, an audio playback device, and a loudspeaker. The audio enhancement device receives audio signals from the audio source and produces enhanced audio signals. The audio playback device receives the enhanced audio signals and outputs the enhanced audio signals to the loudspeaker for playback. Enhancement of the audio signals may be based on an analysis performed by the audio enhancement device by measuring sample audio signals derived from the sound outputted from the loudspeaker.05-19-2011
