Abstract:
The restoration of melody perception is a key remaining challenge in cochlear implants. A novel sound coding strategy is proposed that converts an input audio signal into time-varying electrically stimulating pulse trains. A sound is first split into several frequency sub-bands with a fixed filter bank or a dynamic filter bank tracking harmonics in sounds. Each sub-band signal is coherently downward shifted to a low-frequency base band. These resulting coherent envelope signals have Hermitian symmetric frequency spectrums and are thus real-valued. A peak detector or high-rate sampler of half-wave rectified coherent envelope signals in each sub-band further converts the coherent envelopes into rate-varying, interleaved pulse trains. Acoustic simulations of cochlear implants using this new technique with normal hearing listeners, showed significant improvement in melody recognition over the most common conventional stimulation approach used in cochlear implants.

International Classification:

Abstract:
Systems and methods include receiving network communication information about hosts in a network and applications executed on the hosts; automatically generating one or more microsegments in the network based on analysis of the obtained network communication information, wherein each microsegment of the one or more microsegments is a grouping of resources including the hosts and the applications executed on the hosts that have rules for network communication; and providing the one or more microsegments to one or more hosts of the hosts, for use by the one or more hosts to allow or block communications locally based on the one or more microsegments. Each of the one or more microsegments can be a grouping of workloads inside a data center.
Adeno Associated Virus Vectors For The Treatment Of Hunter Disease
The present disclosure provides, among other things, a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector comprising an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid and a codon-optimized sequence encoding a human iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) enzyme. The disclosure also provides a method of treating a subject having Hunter syndrome (MPS II), comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector comprising an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid, and a promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence that encodes iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S), and wherein administering results in an increase in I2S enzymatic activity in the subject.

International Classification:
H04L 12/751 H04L 12/911 H04L 29/06
Abstract:
Systems and methods include, subsequent to performing auto segmentation on a network that includes a set of policies of allowable and block communications, observing communication between a plurality of hosts on the network; determining unassigned communication paths based on the observing that are either blocked because of a lack of a policy of the set of policies or because there is no policy of the set of policies for coverage thereof; and assigning the unassigned communication paths to corresponding policies of the set of policies. The assigning can be based on heuristics. The assigning can be performed without reperforming auto segmentation.

Oilfield management includes obtaining a binary variable array describing configurable elements of an oilfield design, partitioning the binary variable array into subgroups, and applying a transformation function to each subgroup to obtain an integer variable for each subgroup. An optimization problem is solved on the binary variable array by treating the integer variable as a continuous variable to obtain a solution, and the transformation function of each subgroup is applied to the solution to obtain a design pattern. Based on the design pattern, the oilfield design is generated.
