Abstract: The present document describes a device and method for synchronizing a motion signal corresponding to a media content with a media signal for the media content, the motion signal being for controlling a motion feedback system. The method comprises: receiving a portion of the media signal; obtaining a fingerprint corresponding to the received portion of the media signal; from reference fingerprints associated with time positions of at least one reference media content, identifying a reference time position of the media content corresponding to the obtained fingerprint; obtaining the motion signal associated with the identified reference time position of the media content; and outputting the motion signal synchronized with the media signal using the identified reference time position of the media content for controlling the motion feedback system.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a class-AB amplifier includes: an output stage that includes a pair of half-bridges configured to be coupled to a load; and a current sensing circuit coupled to a first half-bridge of the pair of half-bridges. The current sensing circuit includes a resistive element and is configured to sense a load current flowing through the load by: mirroring a current flowing through a first transistor of the first half-bridge to generate a mirrored current, flowing the mirrored current through the resistive element, and sensing the load current based on a voltage of the resistive element.

Abstract: The invention discloses an improved GNSS receiver which determines a location of the receiver by combining a first location determined either from the standard PVT of a multi-frequency receiver and/or from a positioning aid like a map matching algorithm, inertial navigation system, WiFi localization system or other, and a second location determined by integrating the velocity from the standard PVT. The combination is based on a duty cycle or a combination of the duty cycle with a weighting of the error budgets of the first position and the second location. The improved receiver is preferably based on a standard receiver with an add-on software module which receives and processes data transmitted from the standard receiver by, for example, NMEA messages. The improved receiver allows a determination of a more precise and smoother trajectory in a simple way.

Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes (1) receiving a data element, (2) comparing the data element to a corresponding data element in a pend update history repository that contains changes that have occurred to the data element over time, thus yielding a comparison, (3) determining, based on the comparison, that the data element has changed, (4) checking that there is no update process running that might contain more up-to-date data for the data element, (5) relating the data element to a cutoff number that is associated with a particular range of time, and (6) updating corresponding data elements in (a) a full universe data repository that stores a current value for the data element and a previous value for the data element, and (b) a delta data repository that stores a record that indicates (i) that the data element is being updated, and (ii) the cutoff number.

Abstract: A support for washing machine with automatic leveling function comprises: a sheath; a regulating mechanism, arranged in the sheath and axially movable relative to the sheath; and a flexible body assembly, which is arranged in the regulating mechanism and accommodates a hydraulic medium; one end of the flexible body assembly is limited and arranged in the sheath, another end is a stretchable end which acts on the regulating mechanism, the stretchable end expands and contracts under the action of the hydraulic medium and drives the regulating mechanism to move axially for automatic leveling. The flexible body assembly comprises a flexible accommodating body, a mounting, and a protection mechanism between the mounting assembly and the flexible accommodating body. The flexible body assembly is arranged in the sheath to avoid any damage, and the arrangement of the protection mechanism avoids the flexible accommodating body from directly contacting with the mounting assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and a method for treating substrates, such as fabrics; in particular a composition that can deliver cleaning and anti-microbial benefits to the fabric thereby delaying laundry. There is a long left need for a composition, which can clean the fabric and deliver anti-microbial benefits without the use of water and detergents. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition with no surfactants in it which can deliver cleaning and anti-microbial benefits through a single product. It has been found that cleaning and anti-microbial benefits on fabric can be achieved by a solvent mix of a glycol ether, a fatty acid ester and a diol in combination with a bipolar antimicrobial particle in an aqueous solution.
