  • METHOD FOR SETTING AN APPLICATION PRESSURE OF A VEHICLE BRAKE AND ASSOCIATED VEHICLE BRAKE
    Publication number: 20250136079
    Abstract: A method for setting an application pressure of a vehicle brake of a motor vehicle having a commercial vehicle disk brake, wherein, as the brake pressure increases in a first pressure range, the vehicle brake feeds in a brake pad by a brake infeed travel in the direction of the brake disk, crossing a release clearance, with an increase in a friction torque, and, as the brake pressure increases further in a second pressure range, the brake disk is fed in fully and there is a further increase in the friction torque at the vehicle brake. The method steps detect the brake infeed travel as a function of the brake pressure, identify the first pressure range on the basis of the detected brake infeed travel as a function of brake pressure, set an application pressure of the vehicle brake to a pressure within the first pressure range.

  • INHIBITOR-RESISTANT MGMT MODIFICATIONS AND MODIFICATION OF MGMT-ENCODING NUCLEIC ACIDS
    Publication number: 20250135039
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes MGMT modifications that cause MGMT resistance to MGMT inhibitors. The present disclosure also includes in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo modification of MGMT-encoding nucleic acids to encode and express an MGMT variant that is resistant to MGMT inhibitors. Inhibitor-resistant MGMT modifications and modification of an MGMT-encoding nucleic can occur or be used in conjunction with a therapeutic modification, e.g., in a single cell. Expression of inhibitor-resistant MGMT can selectively protect modified cells from a selection regimen, such as a selection regimen including an MGMT inhibitor and an alkylating agent. Accordingly, in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo modification of MGMT-encoding nucleic acids can be used in gene therapy to select for modified cells.

  • VOICE DETECTION OPTIMIZATION BASED ON SELECTED VOICE ASSISTANT SERVICE
    Publication number: 20250140260
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing voice detection via a network microphone device (NMD) based on a selected voice-assistant service (VAS) are disclosed herein. In one example, the NMD detects sound via individual microphones and selects a first VAS to communicate with the NMD. The NMD produces a first sound-data stream based on the detected sound using a spatial processor in a first configuration. Once the NMD determines that a second VAS is to be selected over the first VAS, the spatial processor assumes a second configuration for producing a second sound-data stream based on the detected sound. The second sound-data stream is then transmitted to one or more remote computing devices associated with the second VAS.
