Abstract: A communications device employs noise-adaptive transmit signal gain that takes echo cancellation into account so that a remote listener engaged in conversation with a local user of the communications device is not subjected to overly loud received voice when the local user experiences high ambient noise. Because the noise environment for the local user comprises not only local background noise, but also noise received through the communications device from the remote user, the communications device employs echo cancellation to ensure the transmit signal gain adaptations are not erroneously influenced by remote noise. A gain associated with the transmit signal is adjusted based on estimated noise, with the noise estimate taking the effects of echo cancellation into account. By decreasing transmit signal gain in response to increasing local noise, the communications device may compensate for the increasing speech volume of the local user generally caused by an increase in local noise. In order to avoid abrupt, noticeable gain adjustments, the communications device may employ hysteresis between the noise level at which the transmit gain is reduced and the noise level at which it is increased. Further, the communications device may adjust transmit signal gain incrementally over a defined time period. Optionally, the communications device may increase receive signal gain in tandem with decreasing transmit signal gain, such that overall transmit/receive loop gain remains relatively constant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for continuously casting a metal strand, especially a steel strand (1). According to the method, a strand (1) is drawn out of a cooled open-ended mold (3), is supported in a strand supporting device (7, 11) located downstream from the open-ended mold (3), is cooled by a coolant, and optionally undergoes a thickness reduction. The aim of the invention is to stipulate the formation of a desired structure of the metal. To this end, the continuous casting is carried out with online calculation while using, as a basis, an arithmetic model which describes the formation of the defined structure of the metal, whereby the variables of the continuous casting method which influence the structuring, e.g. the specific amount of coolant provided for cooling the strand, are set in an online dynamic manner, i.e. during continuous casting.

Abstract: The Diaphanous-related formins (DRFs) constitute a subclass of FH proteins known for their ability to bind activated Rho subfamily of small GTP-binding proteins which link FH proteins to cellular signalling pathways. The present inventor has identified a new homology domain unique to the DRFs that termed the DRF-autoregulatory domain (DAD) in the extreme Cterminus. DAD is involved in intramolecular binding with the GTPase binding domain (GBD) of the DRFs. Disclosed herein are compositions and methods that can disrupt this binding, and cause changes in cells including actin polymerization and/or stabilization of actin fibers resulting in growth inhibition or cell death by apoptosis. A preferred composition is peptide or polypeptide of no more than about 130 amino acids comprising the DAD peptide having the amino acid sequence [GA]-[VA]-M-D-x-L-L-E-x-L-[KRQ]-x-[GA]-[SGA]-[AP] (wherein amino acids within a set of brackets are interchangeable and x means any amino acid). Fusion proteins comprising DAD are also disclosed as are nucleic acids and expression vectors encoding these peptides and proteins.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods and systems for CAD data exchange, and in particular for creating boundary representations ("breps") on a feature-by-feature basis are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the techniques described herein, a parameterized feature from a parametric based design system is exported from a source CAD system ( 404 ). Iterative steps and complimentary extraction techniques are employed by one or more processors ( 452, 456 ) to create an importable design model of the parameterized feature ( 433 ), which is imported into a target CAD system ( 408 ). While the techniques can include API ( 436 ), pattern matching ( 440 ), and user emulation ( 444 ) techniques, they include a brep per feature ( 450 ) technique. By exporting the brep on a per feature ( 453 ) basis from the source CAD system ( 404 ), the design intent of a CAD designer can be preserved on importation into the target CAD system ( 408 ). In particular, where a parametric representation ( 433 ) of the feature fails to import into the target system ( 408 ), an unparameterized representation ( 453 ) of the feature can be substituted.
