Abstract: Methods for detection and analysis of allosteric receptor/ligand binding by changes in surface refractive index are provided. When analyzed by surface plasmon resonance, binding of such allosteric binding agents to their ligands may result in a negative deviation in the optical response (i.e., a decrease in resonance angle) or in an increase in the optical response (i.e., an increase in resonance angle) depending on the binding properties of the selected allosteric receptor. Other methods for analysis of surface refractive index are also useful in the invention. The methods of the invention are particularly useful for small ligands which would not be expected to produce detectable changes in refractive index because they do not add significant mass upon binding.

Abstract: A hydrometallurgical process is provided for producing pigment grade TiO2 from titaniferous mineral ores, and in particular from ilmenite ore. The ore is leached with a hydrochloric acid, preferably a recycled solution at high hydrochloric acid concentration, to form a leachate containing titanium and iron chloride and a residue. The leachate may be filtered to separate the leachate from the residue. The leachate is cooled to a temperature sufficient to form crystals of FeCl2, which are separated from the leachate. The leachate may be subjected to a reduction step to reduce Fe+3 to Fe+2, before crystallizing. The leachate is subjected to a first solvent extraction to form a pregnant strip solution containing titanium and ferric ions and a raffinate containing ferrous ions.  This strip solution is subjected to a second solvent extraction to form a second strip solution containing ferric ions and a raffinate containing titanium ions. The first strip solution may be subjected to an oxidization step before the second solvent extraction. The second raffinate containing titanium ions is hydrolyzed. The hydrolysis can be by water addition or spray hydrolysis. Iron chloride is converted to iron oxide and hydrochloric acid. All product streams containing chlorides are recycled, producing gaseous hydrochloric acid that is used for regenerating the leaching solution.

Title: Improved method for determining the quality of a speech signal
Inventor: BEERENDS JOHN GERARD
IPC: G10L25/69
Filed: 2002-05-21
Granted: 2008-09-02
Abstract: Objective measurement methods and devices for predicting perceptual quality of speech signals degraded in speech processing/transporting systems have unreliable prediction results in cases where the degraded and reference signals show in between severe timbre differences. Improvement is achieved by applying a partial compensation step within in a signal processing stage using a frequency dependently clipped compensation factor for compensating power differences between the degraded and reference signals in the frequency domain. Preferably clipping values for clipping the compensation factor have larger frequency-dependency in a range of low frequencies with respect to a centre frequency of the human auditory system, than in a range of high frequencies.
