摘要： An enhanced toy produces repeating, decaying notes in response to applied pressure. The tone of each note is determined, based on the location at which a user applies pressure. The initial amplitude of each note is proportional to the intensity, as measured by a stress sensor. The toy periodically repeats each note, attenuating the amplitude of each successive repetition by a decay factor. The toy may alter the notes associated with each of a plurality of locations. For example, if all currently repeating notes have decayed below a predetermined threshold, the currently available set of notes may be exchanged for a new set of notes, e.g. with different tones or timbres. The stress sensors may comprise flexible capacitors within the toy. As the user applies pressure, the geometry of one or more capacitors deform, altering the measured capacitance, through which the intensity of the applied pressure is determined.
摘要翻译：增强的玩具响应于施加的压力产生重复的腐烂的笔记。每个音符的音调基于用户施加压力的位置来确定。每个音符的初始幅度与通过应力传感器测量的强度成比例。玩具周期性地重复每个音符，衰减每个连续重复的振幅衰减因子。玩具可以改变与多个位置中的每一个相关联的音符。例如，如果所有当前重复的音符已经衰减到低于预定阈值，则可以将当前可用的音符组交换为一组新的音符，例如音符。用不同的音调或音色。应力传感器可以包括玩具内的柔性电容器。当用户施加压力时，一个或多个电容器的几何形状变形，改变所测量的电容，确定所施加的压力的强度。

摘要： A power distribution and communication system includes nodes connected by power lines and communication links. The system receives power from one or more power sources. Each node contains at least one power port, data port and load port. Associated with each power port and load port is a port monitor for measuring current flowing into or out of the port and the voltage difference between the port outlet and ground, which measurements are passed to a processing element. The processing element and monitor analyze measured values to detect fault conditions. Upon fault condition detection, the port is disabled by opening a switch, disconnecting the port from the system voltage. The processing element receives power directly from the power line, thus receiving power from a live power line even if the associated power port is disabled allowing the processing element to enable a disabled node following a failure.

摘要： A simple and efficient method for producing an obfuscated speech signal which may be used to mask a stream of speech, is disclosed. A speech signal representing the speech stream to be masked is obtained. The speech signal is then temporally partitioned into segments, preferably corresponding to phonemes within the speech stream. The segments are then stored in a memory, and some or all of the segments are subsequently selected, retrieved, and assembled into an obfuscated speech signal representing an unintelligible speech stream that, when combined with the speech signal or reproduced and combined with the speech stream, provides a masking effect. While the presently preferred embodiment finds application most readily in an open plan office, embodiments suitable for use in restaurants, classrooms, and in telecommunications systems are also disclosed.

摘要： The invention determines the location of multiple, simultaneous contact areas on a touch sensing region using a light source and several light detectors. The invention is robust against occlusion and many of the ambiguities that can arise with multiple, simultaneous contact areas. Generally, the light source is positioned such that light emanating the light source passes across the touch sensing region, and the light detector are positioned such that at least a portion of the light source is within the field of view of each light detector. The contact areas are determined by identifying positive fans corresponding to an angular sector of the field of view of a light detector in which the view of the light source is occluded and negative fans corresponding to an angular sector of the field of view of a light detector in which the view of the light source is not occluded. The positive fans and negative fans are then additively and subtractively combined, respectively, to determine the contact areas.
摘要翻译：本发明使用光源和几个光检测器确定触摸感测区域上的多个同时接触区域的位置。本发明对于阻塞是强健的，并且许多同时存在的接触区域可能出现的模糊性。通常，光源被定位成使得发出光源的光穿过触摸感测区域，并且光检测器被定位成使得光源的至少一部分在每个光检测器的视场内。接触区域通过识别对应于光检测器的视场中的光角检测器的角扇区相对应的正风扇来确定，其中光源的视图被遮挡，而对应于光检测器的视场的角扇区的负风扇其中光源的视图不被遮挡。然后分别对积极风扇和负风扇进行加法和减法组合，以确定接触面积。

摘要： A method for controlling a plurality of fans operatively disposed in a shipping container. The fans are arranged in a plurality of banks within a closed fluid path. Each bank has a sub-set of the fans arranged in a plurality of horizontal layers. Two banks form an adjacent pair in the closed fluid path if a fluid exiting one of the two banks next enters the other of the two banks. The method includes determining a proposed fluid flow rate for each of the banks. The method also includes modifying each of the flow rates by a respective scaling factor such that the flow rates for each adjacent pair satisfy a continuity criteria. The method further includes controlling the fans based on the modified flow rates.
