摘要:
A data distribution system based on the exchange of asynchronous messages in publication/subscription mode, for the exchange of data according to various qualities of service between a transmitter running a data supplying application and one receiver running a data receiving application is disclosed, which transmitter and receiver are interconnected by a communication network, via communication objects. Communication objects provide one programming interface to exchange messages. In one aspect, a communication object is broken down into a number of components comprising a type-1 component comprising the programming interface, and at least one type-2 component adapted to control information related to the type-1 component and providing the operations responsible for functionalities reconfigurable during runtime, which communication object has a mechanism for providing runtime reconfiguration requests to the at least one type-2 component, so as to allow for the reconfiguration during runtime of a functionality associated with the communication object.
摘要:
A self-healing material comprises a matrix embedded with micro-pockets of a healing-agent releasable by a crack in the matrix. The healing-agent is able to bond to the matrix to repair the crack. The healing-agent is contained in microcapsules. A corresponding catalyst for the healing-agent is embedded in the matrix and contained in a plurality of microcapsules as an emulsion. The emulsion comprises an oil, a perfluorated solvent, a hydrophobic ionic liquid, or mixtures thereof. A method of manufacturing the self-healing material comprises the steps of identifying an operational temperature range of the material, providing at least one substance as the healing-agent, which substance remaining substantially in a liquid state within the operational temperature range, identifying an operational evaporation rate of the healing-agent and providing the substance with a curing time according to the evaporation rate.

摘要:
Service applications are provided on multiple types of devices with different execution contexts. A smart card stores the application description, and processes it to install an adapted configuration of the application for whatever device it is inserted in. Smart cards are compatible with many devices, as well as being small, resistant, and tamper-proof. In addition to security features, their processing capacities can be used to at least partially treat the abstract descriptions of the applications in order to produce concrete descriptions adapted to the execution context.
