20090122648 | ACOUSTIC MOBILITY AID FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED - A wide-band sonar system can be used as a mobility aid by the visually impaired. The system includes an acoustic source and a pair of miniature microphone arrays with frequency-dependent beam patterns designed to mimic the properties of the human ear. Each microphone is preferably mounted near a respective ear of the user. In one embodiment the source has a bandwidth of 30-50 kHz and uses a waveform that preferably optimizes the time-bandwidth product. A heterodyning technique is used to shift the received signal down to the audible range (20 Hz-20 kHz), after which it is presented to the user through open-style earphones. The acoustic source and microphone arrays are mounted on the user's head so that the system will always be aligned therewith—as an example, they may be mounted near the user's ears on conventional eyeglass frames or a similar mounting device. | 05-14-2009 |

20120030057 | Automatic traffic generation for a faring system - A faring system includes a production facility including at least one fare shopping server, a staging facility including at least one fare shopping server, and an entry point for conducting bi-directional communications with customers. The staging facility further includes a database storing transformation rules and a traffic generation subsystem configured to receive a transaction via the entry point from a customer, to determine if the received request is one suitable for use in generating simulation data for the fare shopping server of the staging system and, if so, to modify the received transaction in accordance with at least one rule retrieved from the database to create at least one modified transaction, and to send the at least one modified transaction to the fare shopping server of the staging facility for processing. The fare shopping server of the staging facility processes the modified transaction for evaluating a potential new or modified functionality of the faring system. | 02-02-2012 |

20150081765 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING MULTI-MODULE EXPERIENCE - Methods and systems for processing content from multiple content sources includes identifying a plurality of content sources for rendering content on a website. A plurality of content modules associated with the website, are identified. Each content module is configured to render content from each of the plurality of content sources. A rendering size of each of the content modules selected for rendering on the website, is identified. The content format for each of the plurality of content module is defined for the identified rendering size of each of the content modules. A selection of one of the plurality of content modules is received. The selection causes a reconfiguration of the rendering sizes of one or more of the plurality of content modules. The content format of the one or more of the plurality of content modules is adjusted based on the rendering sizes after the reconfiguration. | 03-19-2015 |

20150114754 | Folding and Self-Erecting Ladder - A folding, self-erecting ladder for use in the marine environment comprises two rigid side rails with holes for holding rungs. Bungee cord is thread through the rungs and rails to tension the rails toward each other top hold the rungs in the rail holes. The ladder can be folded by pulling the rails apart, allowing the rungs to leave the rail holes, and moving the rails closer to each other, trapping the rungs therebetween, and binding the folded ladder to hold it in the folded position. | 04-30-2015 |

20140148279 | HOCKEY-STICK BLADE WITH TAILORED PERFORMANCE REGIONS - A hockey-stick blade includes a heel region, a toe region spaced longitudinally from the heel region, and a mid-region located between the heel region and the toe region. The toe region includes one or more reinforcing elements, optionally of different lengths, located at different vertical positions within the toe region. The blade further includes a hosel that optionally is tailored to substantially match the strength and stiffness characteristics of an attached or integral hockey-stick shaft. The mid-region of the blade exhibits improved feel and flexibility characteristics due to the increased stiffness in the toe region. | 05-29-2014 |
20150045154 | HOCKEY-STICK BLADE WITH TAILORED PERFORMANCE REGIONS - A hockey-stick includes a blade and a shaft. The blade includes a heel region, a toe region spaced longitudinally from the heel region, and a mid-region located between the heel region and the toe region. The blade optionally also includes a hosel to which the shaft is attached. One or more tuning rods or similar structures are positioned in the blade to increase the blade's stiffness to substantially match the stiffness of the shaft. The tuning rods are optionally located in the mid-region of the blade and may extend into the hosel and, in some cases, into the shaft or the toe region. | 02-12-2015 |

20100211985 | AUTOMATED TRANSPORT STREAM REMAPPING APPARATUS AND METHOD - In a device that receives and outputs multiplexed, packetized data streams, an output data stream mapper has an interface with an input packetized data stream, a packet processor configured to and route packets, a memory for long term retention of at least one stored format table, the stored format table having input program numbers and output program numbers, and the memory further being configured for short term retention of a current PAT. A mapping processor is configured to receive a current PAT from the input data stream, and to compare input program numbers in the current PAT to known program numbers in the stored format table. If the input program numbers in the current PAT are the same as the input program numbers in the stored format table, then another data stream is output having output program numbers from the stored format table. If the input program numbers in the current PAT are not the same as the input program numbers in the stored format table, then another data stream is output having reassigned output program numbers. The reassigned output program numbers may be from another stored format table in the memory, if the other stored format table has input program numbers that match the input program numbers in the current PAT. If not the reassigned output program numbers may be newly generated. The mapper may also reassign PMT PIDs and/or PIDs within the PMTs. | 08-19-2010 |
