Abstract:
A system for determining a change of saturation of an adsorbent susceptible to adsorption of species in an adsorption chamber, the system comprising: an adsorbent-holding-ferrite-material cage; a cage holder configured to hold the cage within the adsorption chamber such that the movement of the cage at least in a first axis is restricted to a smaller extent than in a second axis; an exciter comprising a coil arranged at the cage, wherein the coil is connected to a voltage generator and the exciter is configured to induce eddy currents within the cage resulting in oscillation of the cage in the first axis; a spectrum analyzer connected to the coil and configured to analyze the voltage within the coil and determine its frequency response; and a saturation detector configured to determine the change of saturation based on the change of the frequency response determined by the spectrum analyzer.

At least one battery has connected thereto a battery management system (BMS) (30), for controlling and local optimization of battery charging and discharging parameters, coupled via a contact area (31) to one of its poles (41) such that the contact area (31) of the battery management system (30) is located between the pole (41) of the battery and the contact foot (12) of the bus bar (10), and wherein the BMS (30) comprises a temperature sensor (33) thermally coupled with the contact area (31). At least one bus bar (10) connected to the battery (40) with the BMS (30) comprises a heat sink having an extended surface (11) coupled with a cooling fan (20), and wherein the BMS (30) has a power outlet (34) connected to power the cooling fan (20) and configured to deliver power to the cooling fan (20) depending on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor (33).
Abstract:
A system for detecting a possibility of boiling over and preventing said boiling over comprising a vessel having a vessel's lid, the lid being characterised in that it is configured to: receive information on an initial level of the vessel's content and current level of the vessel's content; and establish on which heating section of a particular cooktop the vessel and the lid are positioned; and based on a difference between the initial level and the current level as well as the time of the creation of said difference: the lid is configured to instruct a height actuator of the lid to extend said lid vertically, in order to extend height of said vessel, and the lid is configured to instruct an aperture actuator to create an aperture in the lid's; the lid is configured to communicate with said cooktop in order to decrease power generation on said heating section.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for parallel detection of disparities in video from multiple customer devices under test in a system unit that comprises a central processing unit and is connected to a graphics card with a graphics processing unit, the method comprising: receiving a video signal from each of the devices under test; processing each of the received video signals in a dedicated CPU thread controlled by the CPU and a dedicated GPU thread controlled by the graphics processing unit; wherein within the CPU thread successive threads are uploaded to a memory for the graphics processing unit and the GPU thread is executed to process the frame, and the processed frames are collected from the memory for the graphics processing unit to check within the CPU thread whether disparities have occurred in the processed frame; wherein all the CPU threads are controlled by a main thread controlled by the CPU.
Abstract:
A method for focus management in a software application, wherein at least a subset of Node objects of said software application forms a hierarchy of Node objects and wherein each Node object of said hierarchy of Node objects of said software application comprises: a first routine that when returning true denotes that the Node object is a focused one; and a second routine that when returning true denotes that the Node object is a focused, or at least one of its descendants is a focused; a routine for handling an incoming event; the method comprising the steps of: providing, for each Node object of said hierarchy of Node objects a third routine, that when returning true denotes that the Node object and all descendants of the Node object, excluding these Node objects for which the third routine returns true, forms a single monofocus area having a single focus root.
Abstract:
Method for decreasing the number of assembly workstations, comprising: providing a first workstation at a first location, supplied with power from a first source; providing a product to the first workstation and supplying the product with power from the first source; providing a second workstation at a second location, supplied with power from a second source; transporting the product from the first workstation to the second workstation including disconnecting the first source from the product; connecting the product to the second power supply at the second workstation and, before supplying the product with power from the first source, placing the product in a device capable of supplying the product with battery power; disconnecting the first source from the device; and supplying the product with battery power, so that the product remains supplied with power between disconnecting the first source and connecting the product to the second source.
Abstract:
Method for generating an IDR picture slice in an H.264/AVC stream, the method including finding an I-type picture and identifying it as a start picture, modifying and/or adding, in each slice header of the start picture, IDR-specific elements, removing, from each slice header of the start picture, non-IDR-specific elements, removing all reference and non-reference B-slices between the start picture and the next I-picture or P-picture, following the start picture, that is a frame or the first field, in decoding order, of a complementary field pair. Starting from the first picture after the removed slices, for each slice header executing: correcting frame_num so that they are valid with reference to the previous picture, correcting references, in the MMCO, as a function of the removed reference B-pictures, correcting references, found in the “Reference picture list reordering” structure, as a function of the removed reference B-pictures and restoring slice encapsulation for modified slices.
