Audio data having M channels includes a header with metadata specifying a conversion function for converting the M channels of digital audio data into N channels of data. The metadata is a string of coefficients, which may be specified by the content author, to define to conversion of the M channels of digital audio data into N channels.

An audio/video surveillance recording system comprising both units having a video camera and units having a dummy lens is disclosed. The use of a dummy lens rather than tinted or mirrored glass on the camera housing provides a greater amount of light to the camera. A unique mounting assembly which lets the dummy units be substituted for the live units without removing the mounting brackets is also disclosed. Both the dummy and live units have illuminated indicators. The system uses weatherproof microphones manufactured using a novel plastic dipping and coating method.

A refuse holder for holding refuse in a vacuum cleaner is provided. The refuse holder comprises a collector unit for collection of refuse from air entrained with refuse as the air is moved through the collector unit via air inlet means and air outlet means on configuration of the refuse holder in a vacuuming mode, wherein collector unit retains the refuse as a batch of collected refuse. The refuse holder further comprises a storage unit connectable to the collector unit by outlet means for storage of a plurality of batches of collected refuse from the collector unit, each batch being transferrable to the storage unit on configuration of the refuse holder in a refuse transfer mode. The refuse hold further comprises means for switching the configuration of the refuse holder between vacuuming mode and refuse transfer mode. A vacuum cleaner incorporating the refuse holder is also provided.
摘要:
A method and system are provided for detecting and monitoring the treatment of eye disease by determining the presence of visual field defects. The method utilizes eyeglasses having a pair of cross-polarizing lenses selectively adjustable for varying the amount of luminance of an Amsler grid as observed by the patient through the eyeglasses. By adjusting the relative polarization of the lenses separately for each eye until the patient is barely able to see the Amsler grid, the sensitivity of the patient's eyes to the presence of scotomas is greatly increased. By having patients record the presence of scotomas while observing the Amsler grid through the eyeglasses, it is possible to screen patients for visual loss associated with various eye diseases, such as atrophic SMD. Recording the existence of scotomas on a periodic basis enables an ophthalmologist to determine whether atrophic SMD may be advancing to hemorrhagic SMD requiring treatment to prevent permanent loss of central vision.
