Patent number: 11843909Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for enhancing engine sound. An example method for a vehicle comprises acquiring a signal including harmonic content generated by an engine of the vehicle, upmixing the signal into a plurality of channels for a given number of engine orders, adjusting an order filter for each engine order of the given number of engine orders based on operating conditions of the engine, filtering each channel of the plurality of channels with the corresponding order filter, mixing the filtered channels into a mono output, and outputting the mono output to at least one speaker in the vehicle. The mono output is delayed based on a position of the at least one speaker such that an occupant of the vehicle perceives the mono output as originating from the engine.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Jose Maria Marin, David Trumpy, Miguel Ángel Conradi García-Baquero

Patent number: 9930738Abstract: The invention proposes to gather bin information identifying semiconductor-component light sources in a luminous module for a motor vehicle by way of a single electronic circuit in which the light sources and the bin information relating thereto are implemented. The invention allows the cabling between a supply device and a printed circuit board containing the electronic circuit according to the invention to be decreased since the bin information required for the configuration of the supply device is gathered actively over the supply line of the light sources.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: VALEO ILUMINACIONInventors: Miguel-Angel Pena, Maria Marin, Juan-Jose Santaella, Juan Lara-Cabeza, Antonio Domingo Illan

Publication number: 20160185814Abstract: The invention provides methods and materials for use in the detection of influenza viruses which utilise a nanoparticle, for example gold nanoparticle, probe comprising a plurality of glycoconjugate ligands, each glyconjugate ligand (GL) having a plurality of sialic-acid containing recognition group (Y) coupled to the nanoparticle via a multivalent core (X), wherein the multivalent core (X) is a trivalent core, whereby there are 3 recognition groups per ligand, wherein the recognition groups on the bioconjugate specifically bind to the hemagglutinin on the target influenza virus. The probes may include further ligands bound to the nanoparticle which do not bind specifically to an influenza virus—for example polyethylene glycol groups. These can modulate density of the glycoconjugate ligand on the surface of the nanoparticle. Binding of probes is detected by a plasmonic signal which is specific to the influenza virus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2014Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Rob FIELD, Martin REZJEK, Abdul RASHID, David RUSSELL, Maria MARIN

Patent number: 8939159Abstract: This invention comprises apparatus for assisting in the application of eyeliner. A handle connects to a shaped member, such as a metal rod, which comprises a guide portion for abutting against a user's eyelid. Users may apply eyeliner by drawing an eyeliner applicator along a side of the guide portion. The guide portion may optionally end in a wing, allowing users to draw eyeliner “wings”. A nose bridge may be situated between the guide portion and the handle, allowing the apparatus to be positioned across a user's nose. The handle may comprise a smudger with which a user may smudge eyeliner after it has been applied.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Sultria Cosmetics Inc.Inventors: Yasiv Martin Rafaela Yeo, Marilyn Jean Yeo, Ivania Maria Marin Morales
