Method, system, and program product for measuring audio video synchronization. This is done by first acquiring audio video information into an audio video synchronization system. The step of data acquisition is followed by analyzing the audio information, and analyzing the video information. Next, the audio information is analyzed to locate the presence of sounds therein related to a speaker's personal voice characteristics. In Analysis Phase Audio and Video MuEv-s are calculated from the audio and video information, and the audio and video information is classified into vowel sounds including AA, EE, OO, B, V, TH, F, silence, other sounds, and unclassified phonemes. The inner space between the lips are also identified and determined. This information is used to determine and associate a dominant audio class in a video frame. Matching locations are determined, and the offset of video and audio is determined.

A fabric article treating apparatus for dispensing a benefit composition through a nozzle that directs the benefit composition as droplets or particles into the chamber of the fabric article drying appliance. The droplets or particles provide benefits to the fabric articles within the drying appliance. The treating apparatus includes one or more safety features, and/or it includes beneficial control concepts that enhance the effects of the benefit composition being dispensed through the nozzle.

Disclosed is a liquid formulation and system for forming an air and moisture barrier for application to the sheathing behind exterior cladding of a structure. The air and moisture barrier includes a cementitious bond breaker for use in conjunction with a cementitious siding. The applied-liquid barrier forms a continuous-seamless structural barrier to both air and moisture while having vapor permeance.

The invention provides a method for supplying an aroma to a human bathing area. The method comprises sparging at least one air stream into the bathing area from a location beneath a water surface in the bathing area, and scenting the at least one air stream prior to the sparging step by contacting the air making up the at least one air stream with an aromatic aroma source. The aromatic aroma source can be in the form of a scent delivery module is positioned in the air flow path to supply bubbles to the pool or tub. One embodiment of the module comprises sidewall means defining an inlet, an outlet, and a gas flow path for a gas stream extending between the inlet and the outlet. The gas flow path is divided along a portion of its length into a first flow path and a second flow path. A first portion of the gas stream flows through the first flow path and a second portion of the gas stream flows through the second flow path. The first gas flow path and the second gas flow path are rejoined for a combined flow path through the outlet. The sidewall means further comprises a vaporizer chamber positioned in the second flow path for introducing scent vapors into the second portion of the gas stream.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, receive vendor resource data and vendor logic from vendors, receive customer resource data from a customer, build a page based on the customer resource data and the vendor resource data, send the page to the customer, and invoke the vendor logic in response to a request from the customer via the page. The page may describe both the current inventory of resources at the customer (based on the customer resource data) and resources that are available for purchase from the vendors (based on the vendor resource data). In various embodiments, the vendor logic purchases the resource from the vendor, requests information from the vendor, or registers the customer with the vendor. If a determination is made that a new resource is needed, either by the customer or by analysis of the customer resource data and rules for purchasing new resources, then a purchase request is sent to the vendor for the new resource.
摘要:
A fabric article treating device having a dispenser adapted for location inside of a fabric article drying appliance and a removable reservoir. The dispenser and reservoir are adapted for fluid communication with one another. The reservoir is configured to contain a benefit composition and to minimize leakage of the benefit composition during installation and removal of the removable reservoir. Corresponding male and female fitments establish fluid communication between the dispenser and the reservoir. The male fitment is adapted to pivot to aid in engaging the female fitment.

A power amplifier system (1) comprises a control circuit; a power amplifier (3) and a delay device (8). The control circuit comprises a detector (4) for detecting an instantaneous power level of an input signal; a threshold comparator (5); and a power supply voltage source (6). The threshold comparator is provided with a plurality of preset thresholds (TH1, TH2, TH3); wherein the threshold comparator compares the detected power level with the preset thresholds; wherein the power supply voltage (V1, V2, V3 and V4) is switched according to the output of the threshold comparator; and wherein the delay device (8) delays the input signal to the power amplifier to enable the power supply voltage to be adapted to the detected power level, such that the efficiency of the power amplifier (3) is optimised.
摘要:
A powder inhaler includes a container for storing powdered medicament. A metering member has a dosing recess and is moveable between a filling position in which the dosing recess is in alignment with an opening of the container, and an inhalation position in which it is in alignment with an inhalation channel. A mouthpiece is in communication with the inhalation channel for enabling inhalation of the dose of powdered medicament when in the inhalation position. A protective member provided between the metering member and the inhalation channel is moveable between a closed position in which the protective member covers the dosing recess, thereby preventing powdered medicament contained in the dosing recess from entering the inhalation channel, and an open position in which the protective member does not cover the dosing recess, thereby exposing the dosing recess to the inhalation channel for enabling inhalation of the dose of the powdered medicament.
