  • Publication number: 20200135237
    Abstract: Embodiments involve harmonising one or more geographically or temporally distributed renditions with at least one backing clip, comprising a calibration module for selecting a parameter of one or more aural or visual characteristics of the first rendition, a backing clip selector in communication with a backing clip database, a reference selector for selecting reference clip for modification of the first rendition, a modification module for applying a computational process to the first rendition or the backing clip to modify an aural characteristic of the first rendition or the backing clip to reduce the difference between the first rendition or the backing clip and the reference clip in the aural characteristic, and a mixing module to combine one or multiple renditions with the backing clip after modification.

  • Patent number: 10072480
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating electrical power downhole comprises a housing located in a drillstring. A primary flow channel is formed through the housing. At least two secondary flow channels are located in the housing and arc laterally displaced from the primary flow channel, A fluid driven electrical generator is positioned in each of the at least two secondary flow channels. A controllable flow diverter is associated with each of the secondary flow channels to controllably divert at least a portion of a fluid flow m the primary flow channel to at least one of the at least two secondary flow channels to drive the generator therein.

  • Publication number: 20050204403
    Abstract: A method of monitoring the operation of a networked computing system as described, including the steps of obtaining configuration information that identifies at least one software module in the networked computing system and also identifies an instruction used to invoke that module monitoring network traffic at at least one point in the network to detect requests that include the instruction to invoke the module calculating operational information of the software module based on the detected requests.
