20140133659 | MANAGEMENT OF BROADCAST AUDIO LOUDNESS - To control loudness during a junction between different types of broadcast content, such as a junction between programme and commercial or promotional content, representative loudness values for content respectively before (P) and after (C) the junction are received from a playout automation system. A time-varying gain control is applied before and after the junction in order to smooth loudness around the junction. The audio gain is smoothly increased prior to the junction to a gain (P+C)/2 P times higher than the original gain value. Then, the gain is reduced shortly before the junction to a value (P+C)/2 C times lower than the original gain value. After the junction, the gain is returned smoothly to the original value. | 05-15-2014 |

20090275943 | ENDPLATE PREPARATION INSTRUMENT - An instrument for preparation of vertebral endplates and a method of preparing a surface of a vertebral endplate are described. The instrument includes a body having a frame, an endplate preparation member supported by the body, and a pivot point. A tilt axis is perpendicular to and intersects a sweep axis at the pivot point. The endplate preparation member is coupled to the frame and controllably pivotable in an arc about the first tilt axis to change a tilt of the endplate preparation member. The endplate preparation member is also controllably pivotable in an arc about the sweep axis while maintaining the tilt of the endplate preparation member. By sweeping the endplate preparation member at incrementally larger tilt angles, recesses in a vertebral endplate surface are gradually formed, which may allow greater precision and control of a depth of the recesses and reduce stress on the vertebral endplate, as opposed to more aggressive techniques. | 11-05-2009 |

20080302081 | Method for detecting ice ingestion in a gas turbine engine - A method of detecting an ice shedding event in a gas turbine engine, the engine having a rotor comprising a compressor drivingly connected via a shaft to a turbine; the method for detecting an ice shedding event comprising the steps of measuring the temperature at regular intervals and where a temperature drop of at least 20 degrees per second is recorded, producing a signal indicative of an ice shedding event and sending the signal to an indicator device. Advantageously, the engine may then be inspected for damage associated to an ice impact rather than other foreign object ingestion event or fuel flow irregularity. Alternatively, instead of temperature, pressure may be measured and a pressure drop of at least 20 kPa per second is indicative of an ice shedding event. | 12-11-2008 |
