  • Publication number: 20100071699
    Abstract: An air filtration apparatus is disclosed. During inhale response, user's breath opens a first air valve causing air flow through replaceable filter through a chamber to a mouth piece disposed in a user's mouth. During exhale response, user's breath closes first valve causing one or more exhaust valves to open. In one embodiment, inhale and exhale responses are displaced from one another to provide better isolation of replaceable filter.

  • Patent number: 7598979
    Abstract: An imaging device having a lens focusing light from a selected scene within an optical footprint, and a substrate including a primary array and at least one navigation array which are positioned within the optical footprint. The primary array acquires a desired image of a portion of the selected scene during an integration period and the at least one navigation array acquires a series of images during the integration period, including a first and a second image having common features from the selected scene. A correlator determines location differences of the common features of the first and second images relative to the at least one navigation array and provides a displacement signal indicative of imaging device translation in two planar dimensions during an interval between the first and second images based on the location differences.

  • Publication number: 20090160699
    Abstract: A transmitter (106, 120, 118, 122 and 110) of a platform (100) is arranged to generate a transmission pulse which is transmitted to a receiver (212, 224 and 208) of another platform (200) and is also arranged to couple its transmission pulse to a digital receiver (104) associated with its platform (100) via attenuater (126) and coupler (124). The other platform (200) performs a similar task. Each digital receiver (108, 208) determines the time separation between its transmission pulse and received pulse from the other platform (100 or 200). The determined time separation information is shared with the other platform (100, 200) and each digital receiver (108, 208) then determines a time offset (?t) between the time at its platform (100) and the other platform (200).

  • Publication number: 20090037030
    Abstract: Information for configuring control apparatus for a power system including a plurality of controlled power supplies is produced using a graphical interface which displays the topology and sequencing of the power supplies in the power system. A database is used to select power supplies to add in determining the power system topology. Sequencing is represented by displacing icons representing the power supplies along lines representing their input and output voltages, and arrows representing startup sequence dependencies. A processor produces the configuration information, consistent with the displayed topology and sequencing, using information for the selected power supplies from the database, for downloading to the control apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20090002501
    Abstract: A device that employs a secondary camera for use in image blur correction. The device includes a first camera that acquires a digital image and a second camera that acquires a series of digital images that enable a determination of a motion of the device during acquisition of the digital image. The determined motion may be used to correct an image blur in the digital image acquired with the primary camera.

  • Publication number: 20080320247
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises a processor constructed to operate under control of a sequence of program instructions selected from a predetermined instruction set; master circuitry to request access to storage locations of the processor; an interface circuit to provide an interface for an external apparatus to signal a request for access to the storage locations and an interface for the master circuitry to signal a request for access to the storage locations; and control to provide access between the storage locations and the interface circuit in response to the request only at predetermined points in execution of the stored program, the control being operable to fix periods of time for providing such access relative to the sequence of program instructions such that execution timing of the stored instructions is independent of whether a request is supplied to the interface.

  • Publication number: 20080243619
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for combining advertising messages with short message service (SMS) messages in a wireless communications system. A signaling message processing and routing node transmits and receives short message service (SMS) data packets via a communications network. The routing node includes an SMS message processing module that determines whether an SMS message should be modified to include advertisements. SMS messages, whether modified or left unmodified, are forwarded to a destination mobile communications device. The SMS message processing module applies rules to match selected advertisements with the SMS message.

  • Publication number: 20070143283
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing the rankings of web pages of a commercial website within search engine keyword search results. A proxy website is created based on the content on the commercial website. When a search engine spider reaches the commercial website, the commercial website directs the search engine spider to the proxy website. The proxy website includes a series of proxy web pages that correspond to web pages on the commercial website along with modifications that enhance the rankings of the pages by the search engines. However, hyperlinks containing complex, dynamic URLs are replaced with spider-friendly versions. When a human visitor selects a proxy web page listing on the search engine results page, that visitor is directed to the proxy web page. The proxy server delivers the same content to the human visitor as to the search engine spider, only with simplified URLs for the latter.
