Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for configuring an equipment behavior catalog (EBC) and a virtual production system using an EBC. The apparatus for configuring the EBC according to an aspect of the present invention includes an artificial intelligence model storage configured to store an artificial intelligence model, and an EBC storage configured to store an EBC including artificial intelligence model data for the artificial intelligence model stored in the artificial intelligence model storage.

Abstract: Provided is an encoding apparatus for integrally encoding and decoding a speech signal and a audio signal, and may include: an input signal analyzer to analyze a characteristic of an input signal; a stereo encoder to down mix the input signal to a mono signal when the input signal is a stereo signal, and to extract stereo sound image information; a frequency band expander to expand a frequency band of the input signal; a sampling rate converter to convert a sampling rate; a speech signal encoder to encode the input signal using a speech encoding module when the input signal is a speech characteristics signal; a audio signal encoder to encode the input signal using a audio encoding module when the input signal is a audio characteristic signal; and a bitstream generator to generate a bitstream.

Abstract: Disclosed is an LPC residual signal encoding/decoding apparatus of an MDCT based unified voice and audio encoding device. The LPC residual signal encoding apparatus analyzes a property of an input signal, selects an encoding method of an LPC filtered signal, and encode the LPC residual signal based on one of a real filterbank, a complex filterbank, and an algebraic code excited linear prediction (ACELP).

Abstract: An embodiment sulfur dioxide-based inorganic electrolyte is provided in which the sulfur dioxide-based inorganic electrolyte is represented by a chemical formula M·(A1·Cl(4-x)Fx)z·ySO2. In this formula, M is a first element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Ca, and Mg, A1 is a second element selected from the group consisting of Al, Fe, Ga, and Cu, x satisfies a first equation 0?x?4, y satisfies a second equation 0?y?6, and z satisfies a third equation 1?z?2.

Abstract: A drug conjugate, composition, and method for delivering active antimicrobials based on existing antibiotics through a hexose phosphate transporter (UhpT) by conjugating the antimicrobials with non-metabolizable hexose phosphates. Methods of co-administering antibiotics with non-metabolizable hexose phosphates as antimicrobials are also disclosed. Non-metabolizable hexose phosphates can constitutively and strongly induce expression of UhpT which significantly improves the efficacy and/or antimicrobial spectrum of antibiotics. This drug conjugate, composition and method will permit reuse of many FDA approved antibiotics that have been abandoned or fallen into disuse due to their current low efficacy and/or resistance to these antibiotics by pathogens.

Abstract: A colonic drug delivery composition contains a first polysaccharide and a second polysaccharide wherein both polysaccharide are degradable by colonic enzymes and are mixed at a environmental pH of about 7 or above, without use of a cross-linking agent. A colon selective pharmaceutical composition and dosage form for oral delivery of a drug, diagnostic reagent, or mixture thereof includes the drug, diagnostic reagent, or mixture thereof in contact with the polysaccharide composition. A method of preparing such a colonic drug delivery composition and the colon selective pharmaceutical composition and dosage from are also disclosed.

Abstract: A composition comprising gelatin and a polysaccharide which is degradable by a colonic enzyme and, optionally, with an aldehyde and/or a polyvalent metal ion and/or an additional polysaccharide, which is not degraded or disintegrated in the upper gastrointestinal tract, thereby rendering the active substance loaded therein to be selectively delivered to the colon and to be effectively released in the colon.
