Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method of producing a TDM serial audio stream includes: receiving a plurality of input audio signal streams from an audio source clocked at an input clock frequency and producing therefrom a TDM serial output stream clocked at a TDM output clock frequency; obtaining the input clock frequency and the TDM output clock frequency by dividing a master clock frequency; writing audio signal samples from the input audio signal streams into a set of memory buffers at the input clock frequency; and producing the TDM serial output stream from audio signal samples buffered in the memory buffers by reading the buffered audio signal samples at the TDM output clock frequency.

Abstract: This invention is concerned with a vaccine against dental caries obtained from the supernatant over cultures of the cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus sobrinus and S. mutans that consists of extracellular proteins. These proteins provide the suppression of the immune response in the host through the early production of IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine and are, for that reason, virulent factors to the microorganism enhancing bacterial load in the host. These proteins were designated as virulence-associated immunomodulatory extracellular proteins (VIP). Vaccination through the host immunization with active VIP in a submitogenis dose, inactivated VIP or enolase in a dose unable to induce immunosuppression, induces the immunoneutralization of the VIP immunobiological effects. Vaccination can be used both as a preventive or therapeutic measure of dental caries as long as it is administered (intranasally, orally or subcutaneously) into mammals before or after bacterial infection, respectively.
