Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and audio processing system for performing dynamic range adjustment of spatial audio objects. The method comprises obtaining (step S1) a plurality of spatial audio objects (10), obtaining (step S2) at least one rendered audio presentation of the spatial audio objects (10) and determining (step S3) signal level data associated with each presentation audio channel in said set of presentation audio channels. The method further comprises obtaining (step S31) a threshold value and, for each time segment, selecting (step S4) a selected presentation audio channel which is associated with a highest or a lowest signal level, determining (step S5) a gain based on the threshold value and the representation of the signal level of the selected audio channel, and applying (step S6) the gain of each time segment to corresponding time segments of the spatial audio objects.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically provisioning customer-specific credentials on a gateway device, Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), or the like. A method, according to one implementation, includes the step of determining when a remote gateway device is connected to a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) server via a network. The remote gateway device is intended to enable one or more user devices in a Local Area Network (LAN) to access the Internet via the network and PPPoE server. The method also includes the step of automatically configuring customer-specific PPPoE credentials on the remote gateway device to thereby enable the PPPoE server to authenticate the remote gateway device and grant Internet access.

Abstract: Activated mediators for detecting predetermined analytes in a sample, as well as kits including testing surfaces incorporating an enzyme-activated mediator are disclosed. The enzyme-activated mediator may have a first color prior to the application of a sample to the portion of the testing surface including the enzyme-activated mediator. The enzyme-activated mediator is configured to undergo a detectable color change to a second color different from the first color in response to the sample applied to the testing surface including a predetermined analyte reactive with the enzyme-activated mediator. Methods for making the testing surfaces and using the testing surfaces to detect analytes are also disclosed.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for consolidating session information for a cluster of sessions in a coupled session environment. Information for each of a plurality of sessions comprising a cluster is stored in a memory of a processor session. Each session associates at least one primary system and at least one secondary system, wherein within each session, updates are copied from the at least one primary system to the at least one secondary system. The session information in the memory for the plurality of sessions is processed to generate consolidated session information for the cluster based on the session information for the sessions in the cluster. The consolidated session information for the cluster is written to a master data set maintaining information for sessions.

Abstract: An attachable ladder support for use on flat-roofed buildings in conjunction with a ladder and winch. The ladder support has a contact member for contacting the flat roof of a building. Connected to the contact member are two connecting members which are attached to the contact member in such a manner that a hoisting space is created between the two connecting members. Each connecting member is provided with an insertable end for insertion into a tubular ladder rung. When used in conjunction with a ladder and a winch, the ladder support makes it possible to hoist heavy loads up to a flat roof of a building.
