Publication number: 20050165587Abstract: Estimates of spectral magnitude and phase are obtained by an estimation process using spectral information from analysis filter banks such as the Modified Discrete Cosine Transform. The estimation process may be implemented by convolution-like operations with impulse responses. Portions of the impulse responses may be selected for use in the convolution-like operations to trade off between computational complexity and estimation accuracy. Mathematical derivations of analytical expressions for filter structures and impulse responses are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventors: Corey Cheng, Michael Smithers, David Lathrop

Patent number: 6587630Abstract: An apparatus for supporting and protecting the optical backplane that permits adequate cooling of electronic components near the optical backplane and maintains optical connectors of the optical backplane in a predetermined and substantially static arrangement is provided. A cartridge for supporting and arranging an optical backplane includes a base. An upper portion couples with the base. The upper portion has one or more optical connector slots for supporting one or more optical connectors of the optical backplane. The optical backplane mounts within the upper portion such that the upper portion together with the base bends the optical backplane to a curvature having a radius of curvature within a predetermined acceptable range.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2001Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Sycamore Networks, Inc.Inventors: David Lathrop Spence, Christopher Patrick Carey

Patent number: 6309083Abstract: A pivoting light socket is used in the light pan of an up-light fixture of a low clearance ceiling fan, the light pan is positioned above the fan blades to provide indirect lighting which reflects from the ceiling above the fan blades. The circular, trough-shaped light pan surrounds, and is coupled to, the top circumference of the ceiling fan's motor stator, with the trough shaped portion positioned below the top of the stator. The light bulbs have a pivoting light socket that allows the bulb and socket to be positioned substantially below the top surface of the stator when the light socket is in its horizontal position, parallel to the top of the stator. Tilting the light socket upward, toward a vertical position, allows the light bulbs to be easily replaced, especially if the trough-shaped light pan is deep or narrow.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1999Date of Patent: October 30, 2001Assignee: Emerson Electric Co.Inventors: David Lathrop, Craig Phillip Johnson, Ed Springer

Patent number: 6247894Abstract: A ceiling fan includes a motor including a stator having an upper portion and a rotor having a lower portion, the rotor being rotatable with respect to the stator. A plurality of blade holders each form an interlocking segment of a motor-concealing member such that the motor concealing member rotates about the motor. A plurality of fan blades equal in number to the blade holders are attached to the ledge such that the fan blade extends radially from the hub. A plurality of light sockets are coupled to the stator upper portion for engaging light bulbs.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1997Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Emerson Electric Co.Inventors: John Moody, Stanfield Young, David Lathrop

Patent number: 6203279Abstract: An assembly for suspending an object from a surface is presented. The assembly includes a downrod with an upper ball member, and a hanger bracket that is mounted on the surface which has a lower socket that engages the ball member. The ball member and socket form a ball and socket joint which allows an object to be suspended downward from a sloped ceiling. The ball member is mounted in the socket by passing the downrod through a gap in the socket. A plate is then attached to the socket on either side of the gap which is shaped so as not to interfere with the movement of the ball member in the socket. The plate prevents the socket from spreading through use over time which could result in the socket becoming to large to contain the ball member. This assembly is particularly suited for hanging objects such as ceiling fans or light fixtures from surfaces such as ceilings, including sloped or cathedral ceilings.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Emerson Electric Co.Inventors: John Moody, David Lathrop

Patent number: 6076105Abstract: A distributed project management system is disclosed. In this embodiment multiple clients on a network share control over and responsibility for a project defined in a project management folder that is stored on the network and that is accessible by the clients. The project management folder contains one or more records each including source and destination file names and application program code. Each client on the network executes a management process to locate the project management folders and to undertake using their resident applications those records which are both incomplete and which call for an application found on the processing client.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1997Date of Patent: June 13, 2000Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Corp.Inventors: James J. Wolff, David Lathrop
