    Abstract: A ski has an upwardly rising front tip, a rear tail, and a midsection extending along a longitudinal axis of the ski between the front tip and the rear tail, the midsection including a waist section adapted for mounting a binding thereon. At least one stabilizing section is located between the front tip and the waist section or between the waist section and the rear tail. The at least one stabilizing section is offset from the longitudinal axis of the ski toward a first side of the ski. The stabilizing section may offset, toward and inside or an outside of the ski, a center of mass, a level of stiffness, or a damping effect of the stabilizing section. A pair of skis comprises such left and right skis. A stabilization device may be mounted on an ordinary ski.

    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a deformation distribution of an object having a longitudinal dimension comprises a structure for supporting the object. A sensor unit comprises a base, a contact member having a body connected to the base by a rotational joint such rotational degrees of freedom are provided between the base and the contact member, an end of the body configured to contact and move along the object, and at least one sensor for determining an orientation of the body relative to the base. A displacement module enables relative movement between the sensor unit and the structure for the sensor unit to relatively move along the object in the longitudinal dimension. A method and system for measuring a rigidity distribution of an object having a longitudinal dimension are also provided.

    Abstract: A method of quantum processing using a quantum processor comprising a plurality of Kerr non-linear oscillators (KNOs), each operably drivable by both i) a controllable single-boson drive and ii) a controllable two-boson drive, the method comprising simultaneously controlling a drive frequency and a drive amplitude of the controllable single-boson drives to define a problem and controlling a drive frequency and a drive amplitude of the two-photon drives to define the Hilbert space, including increasing the amplitude of the two-boson drive and reaching both amplitude conditions a) 4 times the amplitude of the two-boson drives being greater than the loss rate, and b) the amplitude of the two-boson drives being greater than the amplitude of the single-boson drive, and maintaining both amplitude conditions a) and b) until a solution to the problem is reached; and reading the solution.

    Abstract: An attachment device for cranioplasty may have a body defined from a sheet material and may include a first connection end having at least a first connection hole configured to cooperate with a fastener to anchor the attachment device to a bone flap or prosthesis covering at least part of the opening in the skull. A second connection end has at least a second connection hole configured to cooperate with a fastener to anchor the attachment device to a skull adjacent to an opening in the skull. A frame portion extends from the first connection end. A coil portion may be between the frame portion and the second connection end, the coil portion having struts configured for deforming in flexion, and webs between the struts configured for deforming in torsion. The frame portion is configured to be located over a periphery of the opening in the skull to block inward movement. The coil portion enables an out-of-plane deformation of the attachment device for the first connection end to move out of a neutral plane with the second connection end.
