摘要:
Une surface sous-marine pour créer un écosystème marin situé dans l'eau dans lequel circule un courant à une vitesse prédéterminée; la surface comprenant un ou plusieurs blocs (100) supportant un ou plusieurs éléments (102; 200; 300) dont chacun s'étend depuis une face du bloc d'une distance prédéterminée et est capable de réduire la vitesse du courant et ainsi de supporter la croissance d'une ou plusieurs espèces marines au voisinage du ou des élément.

Sound transmission systems and devices having non-occluding earpieces are described herein. In one embodiment, an earpiece includes an enclosure configured to be positioned adjacent a user's ear and a transducer disposed in the enclosure. A tube extends from the enclosure toward the ear canal of the user's ear. The tube transmits sound generated by the transducer toward the user's ear without substantially blocking or occluding an entrance to the ear canal.

A verified software system may be executable on secure hardware. Prior to being executed, the software system may be verified as conforming to a software specification. First credentials attesting to an identity of the software system may be sent to an external application. Second credentials signed by a provider of the secure hardware may be sent to the external application. The second credentials may attest to an identity of the secure hardware. The external application may securely exchange one or more messages with a software application of the software system. For example, the one or more messages may be decryptable only by the external application and the software application to provide confidentiality for each message. As another example, an attestation may vouch for an identity of a sender of each of the one or more messages to attest to an integrity of each message.

A brace for restricting the movement of a shoulder joint, the brace comprising: a trunk module attachable to a human body in the vicinity of the torso at the side of the body corresponding to the shoulder to be restrained, wherein the trunk module includes a strap for attaching the brace to the body; and at least one first part of a locking mechanism; a forearm module pivotable relative to the trunk module and adapted to support the forearm in a plurality of positions relative to the upper arm, the forearm module further including at least one second part of a locking mechanism capable of engaging and disengaging with said first part of the locking mechanism; and a posterior upper arm support attached to the trunk module in a fixed position to prevent movement of the upper arm and shoulder; wherein in a first orientation the at least one first part of the locking mechanism is engaged with the at least one second part of the locking mechanism such that forearm module is capable of positioning the forearm at first position relative to the upper arm; and wherein in a second orientation the at least one first part of the locking mechanism is disengaged from the at least one second part of the locking mechanism such that the forearm module is capable of pivoting relative to the trunk module to enable the forearm to be positioned at a second position relative to the upper arm.
摘要:
Multiple level signals are constructed from more than one level of component sequences each having correlation properties. A receiver (18) receives the multiple level signal. A signal detector (66) in the receiver performs correlation or matched filtering to the received signal. When a signal is detected, the signal detector triggers a timing estimator (70), a phase estimator (68), and a frequency estimator (72). The timing estimator employs an output signal from the signal detector, performs interpolation and timing estimation. The timing estimate adjusts a sampling clock for time synchronization. The phase estimator employs output signals from the correlation devices to estimate phase. The phase estimate is employed to achieve phase synchronization. The received signal is converted to an equivalent continuous wave signal by the frequency estimator. The frequency estimator performs discrete Fourier transform to the continuous wave signal, and estimates frequency offset. The frequency offset estimate is employed to achieve frequency synchronization.

The method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention allows a comprehensive and unbiased analysis on hotel prices for a market. It allows to position a particular hotel vis-à-vis the market characteristics where it is located. This market price analysis is integrated into a revenue management system in order to update price recommendations based on market elements which are external to the hotel. The method according to the present invention poses no limit to the number of competitors against whom the hotel own rates are benchmarked, its purpose being to provide a global market vision. Hoteliers do not even need to figure out whom they are competing with. The method provides new analyses on market trends and it allows the hotel user to truly position his property vis-à-vis the market over time. At last, it provides insightful recommendations based on user rules which are self explainable.
摘要:
A hypervisor runs on a host computer system and defines at least one virtual machine. An address space of the virtual machine resides on physical memory of the host computer system under control of the hypervisor. A guest operating system runs in the virtual machine. At least one of a host operating system and the hypervisor sets parts of the address space of the host computer system corresponding to parts of the address space of the virtual machine to a locked state in which those parts can be read but not written to.
