Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for improving the quality of audio for use in a biometric. A biometric system may use machine learning to determine whether audio or a portion of the audio should be used as a biometric for a user. A sample of the user's voice may be used to generate a voice signature of the user. Portions of the audio that do not meet a similarity threshold when compared with the voice signature may be removed from the audio. Additionally or alternatively, interfering noises may be detected and removed from the audio to improve the quality of a voice biometric generated from the audio.

Abstract: A molecular complex comprising a therapeutic agent and a controlled release construct, the controlled release construct comprising a primary matrix conjugation site which is linked to an cell adhesive site, via a binding region and optionally via one or more spacer elements, wherein the binding region has a folded configuration in which it is bound to the therapeutic agent, wherein the construct is configured such that when mechanical tension is applied between the primary matrix conjugation site and the cell adhesive site, the binding region adopts a less folded configuration in which bound therapeutic agent is released. Related controlled release constructs for loading with the therapeutic agent, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of manufacture and use.

Abstract: Nanoscale probes for forming stable, non-destructive seals with cell membranes. The probes, systems including these probes, and methods of fabricating and using the probes described herein may be used to sense from, stimulate, modify, or otherwise effect individual cells or groups of cells. In particular, described herein are nanoscale cellular probes that may be used to fuse with, and in some variations span, the lipid membrane of a cell to provide stable and long lasting contact to the cell. Thus, the probes described herein may be used as part of a system, method or device that would benefit from stable, non-destructive access to and across a cell membrane. In some variations the nanoscale probe devices or systems described herein may be used as part of a drug screening procedure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an interface in a Radio Base Station for separating its functionality into a first part, which solely relates to the functionality of the radio network, and a second part, which solely relates to the radio part, i.e. the airborne part of the transmission. The interface provides a minimised bandwidth and comprises one or more user data links for uplink and downlink, a control and supervision link, and a synchronisation link.
