  • Patent number: 11627425
    Abstract: The invention provides a lighting device for determining and conveying an intelligibility of an audio signal, wherein the audio signal comprises a plurality of occurrences of a repeating audio feature, wherein each occurrence of the repeating audio feature comprises a respective value of an acoustic characteristic, wherein the lighting device comprises: a light source; a microphone for detecting the audio signal; a processor configured to: receive the audio signal from the microphone, determine a baseline value based on said audio signal, determine a positive intelligibility of the audio signal if the last occurrence of the repeating audio feature comprises a respective value of the acoustic characteristic being at least equal to the baseline value, or determine a negative intelligibility of the audio signal if the last occurrence of the repeating audio feature comprises a respective value of the acoustic characteristic being less than the baseline value, and control the light source to convey the determined

  • Patent number: 10112352
    Abstract: A method of press molding a molding material to form a molded part of fiber-reinforced resin matrix composite material, the method comprising the steps of: i. locating a molding material in a mold tool, the molding material containing fibers, resin and a syntactic layer comprising a polymer matrix and a plurality of hollow bodies distributed within the polymer matrix; ii. permitting the molding material to drape at least partly under the action of gravity within the mold so as to configure at least part of the draped molding material in a partly molded shape; iii. fully closing the mold tool to define a closed mold cavity containing the molding material; iv. applying pressure to the mold cavity to cause resin to flow and impregnate the fibers and to configure the molding material in a fully molded shape; and v. substantially fully curing the resin to form a molded part from the molding material.

  • Patent number: 10077415
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel combined laundry detergent, bleach, and antimicrobial composition incorporating novel sulfoperoxycarboxylic acid compounds, and methods for making and using them. The sulfoperoxycarboxylic compounds used in compositions of the invention are storage stable, water soluble and have low to no odor. Compositions of the invention may be in the form of a liquid, a solid, or a gel. The sulfoperoxycarboxylic compounds useful in preparing compositions of the present invention can be formed from non-petroleum based renewable materials.

  • Publication number: 20150009332
    Abstract: For monitoring presence of persons in an area, the area is subdivided into at least two sub-areas and, for each of the at least two sub-areas, at least one detection line is defined with regard to a boundary of the corresponding sub-area. The detection line marks an entry to and/or exit from the corresponding sub-area. Within the scope of the monitoring, it is detected whether a moving person is entering or exiting the corresponding sub-area by use of the at least one detection line of the corresponding sub-area and/or whether the moving person is expected to enter or exit the corresponding sub-area by use of the at least one detection line of the corresponding sub-area.
