  • Publication number: 20240079001
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a prediction of an audio signal. One of the methods includes receiving a request to generate an audio signal conditioned on an input; processing the input using an embedding neural network to map the input to one or more embedding tokens; generating a semantic representation of the audio signal; generating, using one or more generative neural networks and conditioned on at least the semantic representation and the embedding tokens, an acoustic representation of the audio signal; and processing at least the acoustic representation using a decoder neural network to generate the prediction of the audio signal.

  • Patent number: 10786049
    Abstract: A housing for a belt buckle includes two housing halves, which consist of plastic material and are connected to one another, and have a plurality of connecting pins, which likewise consist of plastic material and, for the purpose of connecting the housing halves, each have a first end arranged on a first of the housing halves and have a second end inserted in each case into a mount provided on the second of the housing halves. The housing halves are each covered on the outside by a soft body, wherein the soft bodies each consist of a softer plastic material than the housing halves and the connecting pins.

  • Patent number: 9441040
    Abstract: The present invention discloses novel antibodies that specifically bind to the human platelet membrane protein Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and their monovalent fragments or derivatives. The antibodies of the invention are antibodies from hybridoma clone 390 and fragment antibodies thereof able to induce a GPVI depletion phenotype. These antibodies and Fab fragments are able to block collagen binding and thus preventing platelet activation by collagen. The invention also relates to hybridoma clones and expression plasmids for the production of disclosed antibodies and Fab fragments. The present invention further refers to the uses of monovalent antibody fragments to manufacture research, diagnostic and immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of thrombosis and other vascular diseases. The invention also concerns a Fab bearing a molecule at the C-terminal extremity, as well as method for prevention of recognition of Fab by antibodies using such modified Fab.
