Abstract: An automatic input-gain control circuit of an audio amplifier and a method thereof are provided. If an acoustic signal exceeds a dynamic range, a gain of the acoustic signal can be automatically attenuated based on a pre-set limit level to minimize a distortion of the acoustic signal caused by clipping of the acoustic signal and limit an over-input so as to input the acoustic signal within the dynamic range. Thus, an original form of an over-input signal on a specific level or more can be maintained but only a gain of the over-input signal can be attenuated. As a result, a distortion of an output waveform caused by clipping of the output waveform can be minimized, and a harmonic distortion and a stepped high frequency noise occurring during clipping can be simultaneously removed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for joining of composites with thermoplastic surfaces (2). The process includes the location of the said components within a load bearing frame (7), and bringing the thermoplastic surfaces (2) to be joined into contact. Pressure application devices, in the form of fluid filled bladders (16), are also located within the frame (7), and are located such that pressure is applied evenly to said thermoplastic surfaces (2). Where components have a high level of curve or twist, form blocks (14) that have the approximate shape of the component surface are located between the frame (7) and bladders (16). Pressure and heat are applied to the joint area, and heat removed while the joint area is maintained under some pressure. A feature of the present invention is the option of using opposing pressure application devices, reducing the need for substantial tooling in order to maintain component location accuracy. A distinct advantage of this invention is the flexibility to join curved or twisted components, or complete the welding of closed assemblies such as wing boxes.

Abstract: The present invention provides binding molecules that specifically bind to ILT3, e.g., human ILT3 (hILT3), on antigen presenting cells, such as for example, monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells (DC), e.g., monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC). The binding molecules of the invention are characterized by binding to hILT3 with high affinity and downmodulating immune responses in vitro, e.g., downmodulating alloimmune responses; the production of inflammatory cytokines by dendritic cells, e.g., monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC); the upregulation of costimulatory molecules by DC, e.g., MDDC; and/or calcium flux in monocytes. In addition, the binding molecules upregulate the expression of inhibitory receptors on dendritic cells, e.g., immature dendritic cells. Surprisingly, these same binding molecules which downmodulate immune responses in vitro, are immunostimulatory in vivo. Various aspects of the invention relate to binding molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Methods of using the binding molecules of the invention to detect human ILT3 or to modulate human ILT3 activity, either in vitro or in vivo, are also encompassed by the invention.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des solutions incluant des dispositifs, systèmes et logiciels assurant l'interopérabilité entre les stations patrimoniales et les stations à porté étendue. Simplement à titre d'exemple, un point d'accès peut être conçu pour transmettre des communications (telles que des trames de balise, des trames de radiodiffusion, des trames multidiffusion, etc.) dans un premier mode et/ou dans un deuxième mode. Le premier mode peut ne pas utiliser la technologie de la porté étendue si bien que les communications transmises dans ce mode peuvent être reçues et/ou interprétées par les stations patrimoniales, tandis que le deuxième mode peut utiliser la technologie de la porté étendue. Ainsi les communications transmises dans le deuxième mode peuvent être reçues par les stations à porté étendue au delà de la portée des communications de porté de base. Dans un autre exemple, le point d'accès peut être conçu pour établir des 'fenêtres' de transmission telles que les stations patrimoniales soient libres d'émettre pendant une première période pendant laquelle il est interdit aux stations à porté étendu d'émettre et que pendant une deuxième période suivante, les stations à porté étendue puissent être libres d'émettre alors que cela est interdit aux stations patrimoniales.
