  • Patent number: 12345001
    Abstract: A crash impact attenuator system for deployment in front of a structure includes a rail and a plurality of diaphragms initially disposed in spaced relation along the length of the rail. Each of the plurality of diaphragms moves along the rail, so that when a front end of the crash attenuator system receives an impact force from a vehicle, a first one of the diaphragms moves rearwardly along the rail and impacts a second one of the diaphragms so that both the first and second diaphragms move further rearwardly along the rail, this process continuing with additional ones of the diaphragms until the impact forces have been fully attenuated. A tearing member on the crash attenuator system engages material forming a side or fender panel of the crash attenuator system, the tearing member tearing material forming the side panel to attenuate the impact force.

  • Patent number: 10698951
    Abstract: A method of automatically generating a digital soundtrack intended for synchronised playback with associated speech audio, the method executed by a processing device or devices having associated memory. The method comprises syntactically and/or semantically analysing text representing or corresponding to the speech audio at a text segment level to generate an emotional profile for each text segment in the context of a continuous emotion model. The method further comprises generating a soundtrack for the speech audio comprising one or more audio regions that are configured or selected for playback during corresponding speech regions of the speech audio, and wherein the audio configured for playback in the audio regions is based on or a function of the emotional profile of one or more of the text segments within the respective speech regions.

  • Publication number: 20180032611
    Abstract: A method of automatically generating a digital soundtrack for playback in an environment comprising live speech audio generated by one or more persons speaking in the environment, the method executed by a processing device or devices having associated memory. The method comprises syntactically and/or semantically analysing an incoming text data stream or streams representing or corresponding to the live speech audio in portions to generate an emotional profile for each text portion of the text data stream(s) in the context of a continuous emotion model. The method further comprises generating in real-time a customised soundtrack for the live speech audio comprising music tracks that are played back in the environment in real-time with the live speech audio. Each music track is selected for playback in the soundtrack based at least partly on the determined emotional profile or profiles associated with the most recently processed portion or portions of text from the text data stream(s).

  • Publication number: 20180032305
    Abstract: A method of automatically generating a digital soundtrack intended for synchronised playback with the reading of an associated text, the method executed by a processing device or devices having associated memory. The method comprises syntactically and/or semantically analysing the text at a text segment level to generate an emotional profile for each text segment in the context of a continuous emotion model. The method further comprises generating a soundtrack for the text comprising one or more audio regions that are configured or selected for playback during corresponding text regions of the text, and wherein the audio configured for playback in the audio regions is based on or a function of the emotional profile of one or more of the text segments within the respective text regions.

  • Patent number: 8368615
    Abstract: The device, a conformal antenna, includes an antenna element directly coupled to a layer of gyrotropic material and means for creating a magnetic field, the magnetic field having a component substantially perpendicular to, and passing through, the layer of gyrotropic material and the antenna element. The gyrotropic material may be at least partially disposed on a ground plane and may comprise a material such as yttrium iron garnet. The means for creating a magnetic field can be located within the layer of gyrotropic material and may comprise at least one external magnet. The reflective metal ground plane can be the outer surface of a vehicle. The antenna element could have a dipole antenna configuration, and can produce a wave that is linearly polarized. The operation of the device may be at or above the resonant frequency of the gyrotropic material.
