Abstract: A method is described for generating electrode stimulation signals for electrode contacts in a cochlear implant electrode array. An input audio signal is processed to generate band pass channel signals that each represent an associated band of audio frequencies. A channel envelope is extracted from each channel signal. The input audio signal and the channel envelopes are processed to produce transient reduced envelopes based on: i. determining for each channel envelope a normalized channel-specific transient indicator characterizing transient noise present in the channel signal, ii. determining a combined transient indicator as a function of the channel-specific transient indicators, and iii. applying a channel-specific gain to the channel envelopes as a function of the combined transient indicator to produce the transient reduced envelopes. The transient reduced envelopes are then used to generate electrode stimulation signals to the electrode contacts.

Abstract: The present invention provides facultatively attenuated bacterial species and methods of preparation and use thereof. The term "facultatively attenuated" as used herein refers to a bacterium which comprises a set of defined recombinant modifications which have substantially no effect on the ability of the bacterium to grow by multiplication when the bacterium is outside of its host organism, but which result in deletion of one or more genes essential for multiplication of the bacterium when the bacterium is introduced into its host organism, for example within host cells of a vaccinate recipient. These recombinant modifications take advantage of regulatory sequences which preferentially induce expression of genes within the mammalian host.
