Abstract: The present invention provides a distributor for distribution of a liquid to a mineral processing apparatus, the distributor including a housing formed by an outer wall and a central chamber formed by an inner wall and located in the housing, the central chamber being adapted to receive the liquid for distribution to distribution chambers located between the outside of the central chamber and an internal surface of the housing, characterised in that passage from the central chamber to respective ones of the distribution chambers is by means of respective apertures which are formed through a generally horizontally oriented surface formed as part of the inner wall.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a requesting application and a hosting application. When the requesting application requests permission from the hosting application to access a category of data, the device identifies the requesting application and the permission request. The device awaits a user input to determine whether the user will permit the requesting application's request to be granted.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples is a method of providing a computer-implemented game, the method includes rendering a display of a virtual in-game environment comprising an unlocked area and a locked area, an in-game player character controlled by a player of the game having access to the unlocked areas but being restricted from accessing the locked area; and using one or more processors, applying a visual effect to the locked area to distinguish the locked area from the unlocked area, the visual effect revealing one or more aspects of the unlocked area.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing routing information to a user are disclosed. Based on a request for routing information between an origin and destination for a travel objective, wireless coverage data for the geographic area associated with the travel objective is received. A graph model for determining routes between the origin and destination is adjusted based at least in part on the wireless coverage data. According to particular aspects of the present disclosure, the graph model can be adjusted based on the wireless coverage data and at least additional parameter such as estimated trip time, average speed, distance, favored routes or traffic information. User information can be optionally provided and used to emphasize or deemphasize wireless coverage data in the determination of the route for the travel objective.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for correlating user profiles to software applications. The system may be adapted as part of a software system that interrogates a user profile and reading a learning objective as a first input, interrogates a software application and reading a learning objective as a second input, calculates a relevance of the first input learning objective to the second input learning objective, and adapts the software application in accordance with the determined relevance and/or updating the user profile in accordance with the determined relevance. A method is disclosed that correlates user profiles to software applications by reading a first learning objective from a user profile, reading a second learning objective from a software application, determining a relevance of the first to the second learning objective, and adapting the software application in accordance with the determined relevance and/or updating the user profile in accordance with the determined relevance.

Abstract: An interface for a fire alarm system having a number of alarm condition detectors (11, 12, 13), a number of alarm devices such as alarm sounders (2) and the like and a fire alarm panel (1). The interface includes a fire alarm silence controller (4) and input and output circuits (7) and (8) connected to the controller. The input circuit includes one of the detectors (11) and the output circuit, one of the alarm sounders (2). Each fire alarm silence controller (4) has a timer and a user operable device for turning off the alarm device activated by the detector. The fire alarm system is provided for a plurality of individual dwellings and each dwelling has its own interface. When a detector in one dwelling is triggered to an alarm state the corresponding fire alarm silence controller operates the corresponding alarm device but does not signal an alarm condition to the fire alarm panel.

Abstract: An audio distribution system comprises a plurality of individual signal conditioning circuits connected in series. Each circuit comprises a signal conditioning unit to which an audio input (13) is fed. The output from the unit is fed to a precision signal addition device. Each circuit also comprises a balanced line level input (11), which is fed to a balanced to unbalanced precision signal converter the output of which is connected to the precision signal addition device. The output from the precision signal addition device is fed to an unbalanced to balanced converter which provides at its output a balanced line level signal (12). As compared with a conventional distribution system, the system enables only one balanced line level input to amplification equipment eliminating any mixing or control means that equipment and obtaining the need for a conventional mixer.
