Abstract: The present invention provides a cochlear outer hair cell (OHC) regenerated by ectopic joint overexpression of Atoh1 and Ikzf2 and an application thereof. Specifically, the present invention provides an active ingredient combination capable of being used for regenerating a cochlear OHC, and a use thereof. The active ingredient combination comprises an Ikzf2 protein and an Atoh1 protein; and after the active ingredient combination is administered to a subject suffering from hearing impairment related to cochlear OHC degeneration and/or injury, hearing impairment can be alleviated by regenerating an OHC-like cell. A new method is provided for clinical treatment of hearing impairment.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods for low latency orthogonal frequency division multiple access communication, according to some embodiments. A wireless device may determine to communicate with another wireless device on a frequency channel as a pair of wireless devices. The wireless device may coordinate with a set of wireless device pairs to share medium access on the frequency channel. The wireless device communicate with the paired wireless device on the frequency channel in a frequency division multiplexing configuration with the set of wireless device pairs.

Abstract: A method for high grade magnetic separation using a matrix having one or more magnetizable matrix elements, wherein each element comprises a pair of poles aligned substantially parallel to a direction of flow of a slurry fluid containing particles to be separated, whereby a rear fluid vortex attributable to the upstream pole extends substantially to meet a front fluid vortex attributable to the downstream pole.
