Abstract: De multiples emplacements de source virtuelle peuvent être définis pour un volume au sein duquel des objets audio se déplacent. La présente invention concerne un processus de configuration permettant de produire un rendu de données audio et pouvant inclure de recevoir des données d'emplacement des haut-parleurs de reproduction et de précalculer des valeurs de gain pour chacune des sources virtuelles en fonction des données d'emplacement des haut-parleurs de reproduction et de chaque emplacement de source virtuelle. Les valeurs de gain peuvent être enregistrées et utilisées pendant l'exécution, alors même qu'un rendu des données de reproduction audio est en train d'être produit à destination des haut-parleurs de l'environnement de reproduction. Lors de l'exécution et pour chaque objet audio, il est possible de calculer les contributions des emplacements de source virtuelle au sein d'une zone ou d'un volume défini par les données de position d'objet audio et les données de taille d'objet audio. Un ensemble de valeurs de gain destinées à chaque canal de sortie de l'environnement de reproduction peut être calculé en se basant, au moins en partie, sur les contributions calculées. Chaque canal de sortie peut correspondre à au moins un haut-parleur de reproduction de l'environnement de reproduction.

Abstract: There is disclosed an assay method for selectively detecting 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D in a biological fluid sample. According to the method of the invention, the pH of the test sample is adjusted to 6-9 and a receptor protein comprising the Ligand Binding Domain of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR-LBD) is added to the test sample, thereby obtaining the formation of a VDR-LBD/1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D complex in which the VDR-LBD portion is conformationally changed with respect to unbound VDR-LBD. The VDR- LBD/1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D complex is then detected by means of a capture moiety which is capable of specifically binding to VDR-LBD bound to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Also disclosed are an assay kit and an antibody for carrying out the method of the invention. The assay of the invention is preferably a sandwich immunoassay.

Filed: 2014-09-15
Abstract: A method for classifier generation includes a step of obtaining data for classification of a multitude of samples, the data for each of the samples consisting of a multitude of physical measurement feature values and a class label. Individual mini-classifiers are generated using sets of features from the samples. The performance of the mini-classifiers is tested, and those that meet a performance threshold are retained. A master classifier is generated by conducting a regularized ensemble training of the retained/filtered set of mini- classifiers to the classification labels for the samples, e.g., by randomly selecting a small fraction of the filtered mini-classifiers (drop out regularization) and conducting logistical training on such selected mini-classifiers. The set of samples are randomly separated into a test set and a training set. The steps of generating the mini-classifiers, filtering and generating a master classifier are repeated for different realizations of the separation of the set of samples into test and training sets, thereby generating a plurality of master classifiers. A final classifier is defined from one or a combination of more than one of the master classifiers.

The antenna is mounted in proximity to the door and is configured to receive the identification signals from the identification sensors attached to the equipment and track the equipment being removed out or returned back to the container. One or more motion sensors are configured to detect opening/closing of the door and any motion within the inner cavity of the container so that the rental system can be brought into an active state upon motion sensors detect opening of the door or detect motion that occurs in the inner cavity of the container. Once the motion sensors do not detect any motion in the inner cavity of the container, the rental system is put into inactivate state. The scanning antenna and the one or more motion sensors are in electric communication with a controller that receives signals from the scanning antenna and electronically record and store data about a removal of a piece of equipment from the container and/or return of a piece of equipment into the container.
