Patent SE-9902057-D0 (SE)
Inventor: JIMENEZ-FELTSTROEM ALBERTO
IPC: G10L21/0216
Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: In a method of improving the intelligibility of a first sound signal (S0) having a certain frequency spectrum, at least one additional sound signal (S1; S1, S2, ..., Sn) is generated comprising a transposition of the spectrum of the first signal in frequency. A combined signal (S+) is generated comprising the first signal (S0) as well as the at least one additional signal (S1; S1, S2, ..., Sn), and the combined signal is reproduced to a user. In this way the intelligibility of a sound signal is improved, while it is still possible to recognize the original sound of a speaker. The natural sound of the speaker is maintained due to the fact that the original sound signal is still contained in the resulting signal. Due to the additional signals the resulting signal will probably also contain speech information in a frequency band in which the person has a better perception.

Abstract: Compositions and a method are provided for the treatment of prostate and other endocrine tumors in mammals, including humans, by administration of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) which is complementary to a portion of the gene encoding IGFBP-2. Using the Shionogi tumor model in vitro and in vivo, the administration of such an ODN was shown to reduce proliferation of tumor cells, and also to delay the progression to androgen independence. Thus, treatment of prostate and other hormone-regulated cancer in mammals, including humans, and delay of the progression of prostate tumors to androgen independence is accomplished by administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide which is complementary to a portion of the nucleic acid sequence encoding IGFBP-2 and which reduces the amount of IGFBP-2 in the treated cells.

Abstract: A camera system includes a camera module that can be rapidly aligned with a predetermined field of view. In one embodiment, the camera module includes a faceplate that is matable to a mounting bracket so as to place the camera module in a fixed position relative to the mounting bracket. A mounting rail is securable to the face plate, such as perpendicularly. A base plate, to which the camera can be affixed, is engagable to the mounting plate such that that the camera is movable about yaw and pitch axes with respect to the mounting plate. The base plate position can be adjusted by a plurality of screws that impinge upon the mounting plate until the camera optical axis is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the module. Once the camera is aligned it is fixed in position in relation to the mounting plate, and therefore, the faceplate and the mounting bracket as well. This arrangement allows a camera to be rapidly aligned with the predetermined field of view by mounting the camera module on the mounting bracket.

Title: Intruder alarm system
Filed: 2012-08-01
Abstract: An intruder alarm system comprises a first housing 2a containing a first sensor 4a, and a second housing 2b containing a second sensor 4b. A control circuit 10 receives signals from the first and second sensors 4a,4b and determines an alarm condition only when both sensors detect an intrusion within a predetermined time interval. The respective sensors 4a,4b can be installed in locations that are spaced apart, while monitoring a single zone 6. Thereby both the sensors 4a,4b will respond to an intruder entering the zone but they will respond differently to environmental factors such as flying birds that are local to just one of the sensors so that false alarm conditions can be distinguished and ignored. The sensors may comprise at least one passive infra-red sensor and at least one Doppler microwave sensor.

Title: A method and system for management of a virtual network connection without heartbeat messages
Filed: 2013-04-05
Abstract: Systems and methods for management of a network connection without heartbeat messages are disclosed. One embodiment describes a distributed proxy system which performs a method for the communication of state between a client and a server in a distributed content delivery network using a state map. The state map sets a predicted communication correspondence frequency and thus eliminates the use or need of heart beat messages to manage session state and/or convey health status of system components. One embodiment relates to using a state map to determine session state at a device 2304 wherein the state map is used to assess if, or when, activity is expected or predicted to occur at the device 2306 and, if the activity does not occur when expected or predicted 2310, the device sends a request for information which would have been received as a result of the activity 2312 or resets (invalidates/purges) the cache state on the device 2314. Other embodiments, of many, described include: using a state status to maintain session state information such that health-status messages need not be transmitted in the network (2406, Figure 24), and conserving network resources (2408, Fig. 24), wherein the state status is determined from information specific to the mobile network to which the device is connected (2402, Fig. 24); and preserving state information between two or more devices by aggregating state information (2502, Fig. 25)to predict a time frame as to when correspondence should be communicated between devices (21504, Fig. 25) and the time frame indicates a tolerable threshold for lack of communication for the correspondence (2508, Fig. 25). Distributed proxy caching arrangements may also be involved.

Granted: 1983-02-17
Abstract: A process for the preparation of an immunoglobulin solution containing IgM in concentrated form and suited for intravenous administration, comprising treating an IgM-containing protein fraction obtained by conventional fractionation from blood plasma or serum with  beta -propiolactone in an amount such that the ratio of beta -propiolactone to a 5% solution of the IgM-containing proteins is from about 0.05 to 0.15 ml per 100 ml. Advantageously, prior to the treatment with  beta -propiolactone the IgM-containing protein fraction is freed of lipids by treatment with colloidal silica gel and with crosslinked dextrans or diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The starting material used is a Cohn fraction III of human blood plasma which has been dissolved in physiological saline solution to a concentration of about 5% protein, the treatment with  beta -propiolactone is carried out at about 20 DEG  to 37 DEG  C. for about 4 to 6 hours until a substantially constant pH of about 8 is obtained, and the solution is thereafter sterile filtered.
