Patent number: 8560913Abstract: A data hiding system is described for hiding data within an audio signal. The system can be used for watermarking, data communications, audience surveying etc. The system hides data in an audio signal by adding artificial echoes whose polarity varies with the data to be hidden. In one embodiment, each data value is represented by a positive and a negative echo having different delays. A receiver can then remove the effects of natural echoes and/or periodicities in the audio signal by differencing measurements obtained at the different delays.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Intrasonics S.A.R.L.Inventors: Peter Kelly, Michael Raymond Reynolds, Christopher John Joseph Sutton

Patent number: 8201968Abstract: A luminaire includes a heat spreader and a heat sink thermally coupled to and disposed diametrically outboard of the heat spreader, an outer optic securely retained relative to at least one of the heat spreader and the heat sink, and a light source disposed in thermal communication with the heat spreader, the light source having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The heat spreader, the heat sink and the outer optic, in combination, have an overall height H and an overall outside dimension D such that the ratio of H/D is equal to or less than 0.25. The combination defined by the heat spreader, the heat sink and the outer optic, is so dimensioned as to: cover an opening defined by a nominally sized four-inch can light fixture; and, cover an opening defined by a nominally sized four-inch electrical junction box.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2010Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Lighting Science Group CorporationInventors: Fredric S.

Publication number: 20090070104Abstract: A number of encoders for encoding a data signal within an audio signal are provided. In some of the encoders, the audio signal is separated into a tonal part, and a residual part, and the data signal is shaped based on the residual part. In other encoders, the data signal is separated into a tonal part and a residual part, and the data signal is combined with the audio signal independence upon the residual part. In other encoders, the rate at which the data is encoded within the audio signal is varied in dependence upon the audio signal. There are also described various decoders associated with the described encoders.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Inventors: Aled Wynne Jones, Michael Raymond Reynolds, David Bartlett, Ian Micheal Hosking, Donald Glenn Guy, Peter John Kelly, Daniel Reginald Ewart Timson, Nicolas Vasilopolous, Alan Michael Hart, Robert John Morland

Publication number: 20080212692Abstract: A method and system for providing multilingual wireless communications network are disclosed. The present invention discloses a mechanism of receiving and/or transmitting an OFDM data stream using IEEE 802.16-2004 standard and an OFDMA data stream using IEEE 802.16e standard. A timing division duplexing (“TDD”) frame is configured to contain data that has different standards. At least a portion of OFDM data is allocated in a portion of the TDD frame while a portion of OFDMA data is allocated in another portion of the TDD frame. The TDD frame is subsequently transmitted to both OFDM subscriber stations and OFDMA subscriber stations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2006Publication date: September 4, 2008Applicant: Proxim Wireless CorporationInventors: Raja Banerjea, Russell Raymond Reynolds

Publication number: 20060104773Abstract: A foldable wheelchair ramp is disclosed having a mountable base, a first ramp section and a second ramp section. In an extended configuration, the first and second ramp sections form a single, continuous ramp for facilitating wheelchair access to vehicles. For convenient storage, the first and second ramp sections fold with respect to each other and preferably retract into the vehicle floor such that, in the folded configuration, the top surface of the second ramp section lies substantially in the same plane as the vehicle floor. A linking assembly is provided to facilitate and control the folding of the ramp sections. For safety purposes, the ramp also includes a lid that covers the gaps between the ramp and the vehicle floor when the ramp is in an extended position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2005Publication date: May 18, 2006Applicant: Ricon Corp.Inventors: Dmitry Koretsky, Raymond Reynolds

Patent number: 7024331Abstract: A position determining system in which a mobile tag having an unknown position is tracked in space over time. In use, the mobile tag either transmits or receives signals including a pair of tones at different frequencies from a number of base stations having known locations. The phase of each of the received signals is then measured and the measured phases are then passed to a processing unit which determines the position of the tag at the time of the transmission of the signals on the basis of the difference between the measured phases of the two tones. In one embodiment, this system is combined with a conventional phase-based position measurement which is derived from phase measurements of similar tones transmitted between the mobile tag and different base stations.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2004Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Scientific Generics LimitedInventors: Aled Wynne Jones, Paul Anthony Smith, Paul Joseph Bearpark, Michael Raymond Reynolds, Daniel Reginald Ewart Timson, Andrew Michael Rhodes, Nicolas Vasilopoulos, Peter Duffet-Smith, David Bartlett
