Abstract: Mechanisms for obtaining an audio signal and information relating to the recording conditions of the audio signal are provided, the method comprising: obtaining an audio signal, wherein the audio signal is a voltage signal representation of sound, the voltage signal having been converted from a pressure signal; obtaining first information indicative of at least one objective feature and/or at least one perceptual feature associated with the conversion of the pressure signal into the audio signal in the form of a voltage signal representation; storing the audio signal, the first information, and second information identifying a relationship between the audio signal and the first information; determining an error adjustment for adjusting the audio signal based on the obtained information; applying the error adjustment to the audio signal to create an error-adjusted audio signal; and obtaining an audio signal and information relating to the recording conditions of the audio signal.

Abstract: A fan cooling system has individual fan modules which are connected together in an end-to-end configuration, where one of the fan modules is connected to a mechanism which rotates the linear array of fan modules. The fan modules are substantially identical, which allows prefabrication of the fan modules prior to on-site installation of the system. Each fan module may contain water injection piping and nozzles, which allows the fan cooling system to dispense fog. The linear array of fan modules may be rotated along a longitudinal axis, such that the axial flow direction of the fans may be changed with respect to a vertical plane. A suggested use of the fan cooling system is for the cooling of livestock in large livestock structures.

Abstract: A climate control system comprising a base, a mast extending from the base, a fan mounted on the mast for producing an airflow, the airflow being directed by an adjustable diffuser, and a fog introduction system connected to a water source and mounted adjacent to the fan. The fog introduction system introduces fog into the airflow. The fog introduction system comprises at least one fog ring and the water source may further comprise a pump. The climate control system may further comprising a heat source. The fog ring may comprise nozzles, and the nozzle diameter may be in the range of 0.002 to 0.02 inches.

Abstract: A receiver mounted drum lifter which may be mounted utilizing the receiver pocket of a standard tow bar trailer hitch. The receiver pocket is typically the female member of the hitch platform fitted to the vehicle, where the receive pocket normally receives a male member having a hitch ball attached. The disclosed device lifts a drum or similar container from a first position in which the long axis of the drum is oriented in a generally vertical position, with an inlet/outlet also oriented in an upright vertical position, to a second position in which the long axis of the drum is oriented such that the inlet/outlet is in a sufficiently downwardly facing position to allow the contents of the drum to be emptied through the inlet/outlet. Embodiments of the disclosed apparatus comprise a framework adapted to be mounted in the receiver pocket. The framework comprises a drum cradling section and an inertia overcoming section.

Abstract: A carton for shipping, storing, and displaying rolls of material is disclosed. The carton comprises a front wall including a removable panel, with a reinforced panel provided above the removable panel and a lower panel extending across the front wall provided below the removable panel. During shipping, the removable panel strengthen the walls of the carton. At the destination, the removable panel is easily removed to allow access to the rolls in the carton. The reinforced panel allows the rolls to rest against the carton without tipping.
