Abstract: A method for enhancement of speech intelligibility in a device arranged for a near-end side a communication with a far-end device. The method involves calculating a measure of speech intelligibility at the near-end side based on a near-end audio input and a far-end audio input. Then, based on the calculated measure of speech intelligibility optimizing parameters of a predetermined speech enhancement algorithm, where a predetermined speech intelligibility target, and an additional target are taken into account to generate an optimized speech enhancement algorithm. Next, processing the far-end audio input according to the optimized speech enhancement algorithm, and generating a near-end audio output accordingly. The algorithm can adapt to changing noise conditions and be optimized for both speech intelligibility and another target. This can be used to minimize delay, electric power consumption and audio quality while satisfying the speech intelligibility target.

Abstract: The present invention provides ISVD polypeptide derivatives capable of binding coagulation Factor IX(a) and Factor X(a) which are highly potent and provide a sufficiently long half-life such to allow for effective subcutaneous—as well as peroral administration. The ISVD polypeptides derivatives disclosed herein are thus suitable for treatment of haemophilia A, haemophilia A with inhibitors and acquired haemophilia A by various routes of administration including subcutaneous and peroral administration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for controlling an enzymatic pre-treatment process, e.g. a mashing process. The system and method provide for accurate determination of specific sugar molecules as well as the average length of the sugar chains in real-time during e.g. a mashing process. Further information on, e.g., the concentration of dissolved protein and free amino acids can also be obtained simultaneously.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns an improved method of preparation of nanoparticular vanadium oxide/anatase titania catalysts having a narrow particle size distribution. In particular, the disclosure concerns preparation of nanoparticular vanadium oxide/anatase titania catalyst precursors comprising combustible crystallization seeds upon which the catalyst metal oxide is coprecipitated with the carrier metal oxide, which crystallization seeds are removed by combustion in a final calcining step.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of preparation of nanoparticular metal oxide catalysts having a narrow particle size distribution. In particular, the invention concerns preparation of nanoparticular metal oxide catalyst precursors comprising combustible crystallization seeds upon which the catalyst metal oxide is co-precipitated with the carrier metal oxide, which crystallization seeds are removed by combustion in a final calcining step. The present invention also concerns processes wherein the nanoparticular metal oxide catalysts of the invention are used, such as SCR (deNOx) reactions of nitrogen oxides with ammonia or urea as reductant, oxidations of alcohols or aldehydes with dioxygen or air to provide aldehydes, ketones or carboxylic acids, and photocatalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Abstract: A device for conveying an imbricated stream of sheets from a sheet pile to a sheet-processing machine includes a conveying table provided with at least one revolvingly drivable, air-permeable conveyor belt. The belt has a top strand with an underside slidable over the conveying table, and a plurality of suction chambers arranged behind one another for subjecting the conveyor belt to negative pressure, so that the conveyed sheets are retained on the conveyor belt until they are transferrable to the sheet-processing machine. It further includes a common negative-pressure supply provided for negative-pressure activation of all of the suction chambers, and at least one throttle via which the suction chambers, respectively, are pneumatically connected to the common negative-pressure supply.
