Abstract: Isolated proteins, designated SdrF, SdrG and SdrH, and their corresponding amino acid and nucleic acid sequences are provided which are useful in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteria such as (S. epidermidis). The SdrF, SdrG and SdrH proteins are cell-wall associated proteins that specifically bind host proteins and which each have a highly conserved motif of which the consensus sequence is TYTFTDYVD. The proteins, antigenic portions thereof and anti-SdrF, SdrG and SdrH antibodies are also useful for the identification and diagnosis of coagulase-negative staphylococcal infections. In particular, the proteins are advantageous because they may be used as vaccine components or antibodies thereof, and they may be administered to wounds or used to coat biomaterials to act as blocking agents to prevent or inhibit the binding of coagulase-negative staphylococci to wounds or biomaterials.

Abstract: Improving the signal-to-noise ratio of electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements facilitates cardiac beat detection in a human or animal patient. ECG signals measured either on the surface of the skin or subcutaneously from pairs of leads may be combined to calculate a differential signal. The measured signal may also be averaged to produce a second estimate. A point-by-point product of the differential signal and the averaged signal is generated if the sample pair has the same polarity. The product signals feature enhanced signal components and reduced noise components, thus improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the respective input channels. Product signals are then subjected to peak detection through a conventional auto-sensing approach. Preliminary event detection results from the conditional product signals may then be aggregated, and final sense markers for ECG beat detection may be generated by means of a voting algorithm.

Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention includes a method of improving audibility of speech in a multi-channel audio signal. The method includes comparing a first characteristic and a second characteristic of the multi-channel audio signal to generate an attenuation factor. The first characteristic corresponds to a first channel of the multi-channel audio signal that contains speech and non-speech audio, and the second characteristic corresponds to a second channel of the multi-channel audio signal that contains predominantly non-speech audio. The method further includes adjusting the attenuation factor according to a speech likelihood value to generate an adjusted attenuation factor. The method further includes attenuating the second channel using the adjusted attenuation factor.

Abstract: An aspect of the invention implements an object tracking apparatus (10) that can precisely track an object even if an analog of the object exists around the object. The object tracking apparatus (10) includes a state determining unit (31) that determines a tracking state from a positional relationship between the object and the analog having a feature similar to that of the object in an earlier frame of a current frame; an object searching unit (33) that specifies a position of the object in the current frame; and a surrounding searching unit (37) that specifies a position of the analog in the current frame when the analog exists in a surrounding region that is of a predetermined region around the object. The object predicting unit (41) predicts the position of the object in the current frame to specify the position of the object based on the position of the object and a motional state of the object in an earlier frame when the tracking state is "overlap", and the object searching unit (33) searches the object from an image of the current frame to specify the position of the object when the tracking state is not "overlap".
