Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100068260Methods, Compositions and Device for Directed and Controlled Heating and Release of Agents - A composition coupled to an agent with a cleavable linker is provided. Specifically, the composition is used for releasing the agent through a temperature-sensitive mechanism at a targeted location in a subject with heat. It is advantageous to applications where there is a need to accurately deploy an agent in a targeted location to reduce adverse side effects or increase efficacy of the agent. A device and method for providing heat at the targeted location in the subject is also provided. The device and method allows release of the agents in a targeted manner and prevents overheating of the targeted location or the tissue surrounding the targeted location. It is advantageous to applications where there is a need to accurately control the temperature in a targeted location in a biological body, for instance, to deploy an agent in the targeted location.03-18-2010

20090238370SYSTEM, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PREDICTING THE PERCEIVED SPATIAL QUALITY OF SOUND PROCESSING AND REPRODUCING EQUIPMENT - The present invention relates to a method and corresponding system for predicting the perceived spatial quality of sound processing and reproducing equipment. According to the invention a device to be tested, a so-called device under test (DUT), is subjected to one or more test signals and the response of the device under test is provided to one or more means for deriving metrics, i.e. a higher-level representation of the raw data obtained from the device under test. The derived one or more metrics is/are provided to suitable predictor means that “translates” the objective measure provided by the one or more metrics to a predicted perceived spatial quality. To this end said predictor means is calibrated using listening tests carried out on real listeners. By means of the invention there is thus provided an “instrument” that can replace expensive and time consuming listening tests for instance during development of various audio processing or reproduction systems or methods.09-24-2009
