20090220065Method and apparatus for active speaker selection using microphone arrays and speaker recognition - A method and apparatus for performing active speaker selection in teleconferencing applications illustratively comprises a microphone array module, a speaker recognition system, a user interface, and a speech signal selection module. The microphone array module separates the speech signal from each active speaker from those of other active speakers, providing a plurality of individual speaker's speech signals. The speaker recognition system identifies each currently active speaker using conventional speaker recognition/identification techniques. These identities are then transmitted to a remote teleconferencing location for display to remote participants via a user interface. The remote participants may then select one of the identified speakers, and the speech signal selection module then selects for transmission the speech signal associated with the selected identified speaker, thereby enabling the participants at the remote location to listen to the selected speaker and neglect the speech from other active speakers.09-03-2009

20090095630MICROFLUIDIC PUMPING BASED ON DIELECTROPHORESIS - This paper presents a microfluidic pumping approach using traveling-wave dielectrophoresis (tw-DEP) of microparticles. Flow is generated directly in the microfluidic devices by inducing electromechanical effects in the fluid using microelectrodes. The fluidic driving mechanisms due to the particle-fluid and particle-particle interactions under twDEP are analyzed, and the induced flow field is obtained from numerical simulations. Experimental measurements of the flow velocity in a prototype DEP micropumping device show satisfactory agreement with the numerical predications.04-16-2009

20090064376Use of untranslated region of osmotin gene to enhance transgene expression in plants - The present invention provides methods, vectors and gene constructs for enhancing expression of a recombinant nucleic acid sequence in transgenic plants and plant tissues. According to the present invention, nucleic acid sequences are obtained and/or derived from the 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of genes encoding osmotin proteins and engineered to flank respective portions of a selected coding region of a vector. The vector construct may be introduced into plants and/or plant tissues through conventional procedures, resulting in enhanced expression of the selected coding region. In a preferred embodiment, the selected coding region is a chimeric gene or gene fragment expressing one or more proteins known to impart a level of insecticidal activity to a transgenic plant and/or plant tissue.03-05-2009

20080305100Activated Protein C Inhibits Undesirable Effects of Plasminogen Activator in the Brain - Activated protein C (APC), a prodrug, and/or a variant of APC may be used to inhibit undesirable effects of plasminogen activator: e.g., apoptosis or cell death of neurons and endothelial cells, brain hemorrhage or intracerebral bleeding, and/or tissue damage in a subject's brain. Inhibition appears to act through the extrinsic pathway of death receptor signal transduction. This represents an improvement in treatment using plasminogen activator (e.g., fibrinolysis). By reducing undesirable effects, the window for fibrinolytic therapy by plasminogen activator may be widened.12-11-2008

20080238942Object-Based Image Inpainting - Systems and methods provide object-based image inpainting. The object-based inpainting can recover part of a missing object or can synthesize visual objects that are entirely missing. In one implementation, an exemplary system generates a target visual object to be inpainted into an image, by geometrically matching key features with a model visual object that can be selected from the same or another image. Borders of the target object are refined through pixel-based contour deformation and textures for the target object are obtained either by pixel interpolation or by patch-based modeling of pre-existing texture in the image. Graph-cut segmentation rectifies image overlap as the target object is embedded in the image. Poisson editing filters visual seams, and edge filling completes visual gaps around the border of the target object.10-02-2008
