Abstract: Examples described herein provide various devices that enable users to participate in a multiplayer session. The examples allow a user that is unable to speak, or that is incapable of speaking, to participate in an in-session voice chat by inputting text and having the text converted to speech (e.g., synthesized voice data) that can then be sent to other devices participating in the session. The user enables a text-to-speech conversion feature on his or her own device. Based on the enabled feature, functionality enabling text to be entered is activated and the entered text is converted into speech data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chromatography ligand, which comprises Domain C from Staphylococcus protein A (SpA), or a functional fragment or variant thereof. The chromatography ligand presents an advantageous capability of withstanding harsh cleaning in place (CIP) conditions, and is capable of binding Fab fragments of antibodies. The ligand may be provided with a terminal coupling group, such as arginine or cysteine, to facilitate its coupling to an insoluble carrier such as beads or a membrane. The invention also relates process of using the ligand in isolation of antibodies, and to a purification protocol which may include washing steps and/or regeneration with alkali.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide various devices that enable users to participate in a session. The examples allow a user that is unable to hear, or that is incapable of hearing, to participate in an in-session voice chat by receiving text messages that have been converted from speech to text (e.g., transcribed messages). The user enables a speech-to-text conversion feature on his or her own device. Based on the enabled feature, a notification can be sent to other devices participating in the session. Based on the notification, the other devices are tasked with capturing utterances and sending corresponding speech data to a speech-to-text conversion device so that voice communications can be converted to text messages. Subsequent to conversion, the text messages can be displayed in a chat interface presented as part of the displayed content for the session.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of chromatography. More closely, the invention relates to a chromatographic method for purification of Factor VIII and von Willebrand factor from a cryoprecipitate of plasma. The chromatographic method is performed on a matrix comprising an inner porous core and outer porous lid surrounding said core.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chromatography ligand, which comprises Domain C from Staphylococcus protein A (SpA), or a functional fragment or variant thereof. The chromatography ligand presents an advantageous capability of withstanding harsh cleaning in place (CIF) conditions, and is capable of binding Fab fragments of antibodies. The ligand may be provided with a terminal coupling group, such as arginine or cysteine, to facilitate its coupling to an insoluble carrier such as beads or a membrane. The invention also relates process of using the ligand in isolation of antibodies, and to a purification protocol which may include washing steps and/or regeneration with alkali.

Abstract: A method is presented for simulating marine assets (MA) in an offshore operation. The marine assets comprise at least an anchor, a line coupling the anchor with a winch, and a support platform located offshore for supporting the winch. The method involves a computation stage for estimating a state of the marine assets using a computational model and received sensor data (Ds) pertaining to a state of the marine assets and/or of an environment (ME) wherein the marine assets are used. The computational model of the marine assets (MA) includes at least a specification of an anchor, a specification of a winch and a specification of a line coupling the anchor with the winch. The at least a line is modeled as a first portion extending between the winch and a touch-down point where the line touches the seabed and a second portion extending between the touch-down point and the anchor.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for developing parallel networks. Parallel network design may comprise a general purpose language (GPC) code portion and a network description (ND) portion. GPL tools may be utilized in designing the network. The GPL tools may be configured to produce network specification language (NSL) engine adapted to generate hardware optimized machine executable code corresponding to the network description. The developer may be enabled to describe a parameter of the network. The GPC portion may be automatically updated consistent with the network parameter value. The GPC byte code may be introspected by the NSL engine to provide the underlying source code that may be automatically reinterpreted to produce the hardware optimized machine code. The optimized machine code may be executed in parallel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for real-time control of radio frequency (RF) reflectivity to enable radar camouflage are disclosed. A spatially diverse collection of elements, consisting of at least two elements, are used to control the direction of reradiated (reflected) energy from an object or person where direction of the reradiated energy is controlled by a circuit and a controller. The controller and circuit changes the reflectivity of each element individually as a function of time. The effect of the spatial distribution and time varying reflectors is a reflected RF signal that can statistically mimic background clutter.
