Abstract: A method and apparatus for distinguishing voice signals that are played together over the same speaker employs spectral reshaping of one or more of the audio signals. The spectral reshaping shifts modifies the timber of the voice signal while not modifying the pitch of the voice signal. Additional techniques can be used to further distinguish voice signals, such as dynamic gain offset and frequency shifting. After processing one or more signals to spectrally reshape them, they can be played over the same speaker. A user hearing the resulting acoustic signal will be more able to distinguish between the multiple voice signals being played.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods for determining the change in the immune repertoire of an individual suffering from disease or undergoing therapy for the treatment of a disease. The methods use the difference between the change in the level of immune cell diversity seen in an individual before, during or after a health event to determine the effect of the disease, or the effect of a treatment regime, on the individual. The difference in the level of immune cell diversity is referred to as the Delta Index and is defined as the quantitative and qualitative change (gain or loss of clones) of an individual's most dynamic immune cells over time.
