Abstract:
compression and search process on a data set based on multiple strategies, including: extracting a set of raw data and transforming it into a sequence of symbols, manipulating the sequence by combining data structures and one or more (optionally a multiplicity of) compression strategies to obtain compressed and efficiently searchable data, recording the compressed and efficiently searchable data on storage media.
Abstract:
A device for determining the real evapotranspiration of a vegetated surface of a soil includes a porous evaporator, at least one portion of which has resistance to water vapor flow depending on a parameter, the porous evaporator having an upper surface exposed to the atmosphere, a tank of liquid water underlying the porous evaporator to which the tank is connected by a suction tube, and provided with a meter for measuring water level, a sensor for measuring the humidity value of the soil, and a CPU controlling the parameter on which the resistance to the water vapor flow through the porous evaporator depends, depending on the humidity value of the soil detected by the sensor.
Abstract:
It is provided aA method for estimating the presence of rain characterized by comprising including the steps of entering a set of static parameters, entering a set of dynamic parameters, measuring an instant value, sending said the values to a first Kalman filter and to a second Kalman filter and define defining the start of a precipitative event if a difference between said the KalmanST output and said the KalmanFT output exceeds said the “epsilonStart” threshold value and also define the term of a precipitative event if a difference between said the KalmanST output said the said KalmanFT output is lower than said the “epsilonStop” threshold value.
Abstract:
Provided is a robotic hand which includes a palm, a plurality of phalanges adapted to reproduce a plurality of fingers, and an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism may include a first pulley located at each hinge and bound to the first element, second pulleys located at each of the hinges and bound to the second element, a single cable running in all of the pulleys and a motor adapted to act on the cable by controlling the rotation of the phalanges.

Abstract:
The invention relates to compounds of general formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: (I) wherein Ri is selected from an SCN— group or is an RCONH— group; in particular, where Ri=RCONH, R is selected from an aromatic benzene ring substituted with an SCN— group in the ortho, meta or para position, according to the following formula: SCN— or R is a C1-C4 alkyl chain, substituted with an SCN— group; n can be equal to 0 or else 1. The invention also relates to the use of such compounds for the treatment of osteoporosis and in general of bone pathologies characterized by a progressive loss of bone mass, for example rheumatoid arthritis, hyperparathyroidism or bone tumor metastases.

Abstract:
A method and a device, for assessing whether a drug of abuse and/or a metabolite of a drug of abuse is present in a keratin material, where the method includes extracting a drug of abuse and/or a metabolite from a subject's keratin material, by prearranging an amount of the keratin material; prearranging an extraction composition; bringing the keratin material into contact with the extraction composition in order to obtain an extract that contains the drug of abuse and/or the metabolite, wherein the extraction composition contains a compound selected among urea and urea derivatives.
Abstract:
Logistic device, for handling a package being collected that defines a contact surface with items not being collected, including a first robotic arm including adaptive gripper having at least three degrees of freedom to modify adaptive gripper position and spatial orientation; a second robotic arm including an end effector defining a resting surface and three degrees of freedom to modify end effector position and spatial orientation; control unit to command the first robotic arm to contact the adaptive gripper and package, to deform the adaptive gripper according to adhesion surface between the package and move the package from a storage position wherein the contact surface contacts the items and a collection position wherein the contact surface does not contact the items; the second robotic arm bringing the end effector resting surface into contact with the contact surface; and then the second robotic arm to move the package.
