In one aspect, the invention features a method including contacting a first gas to an anode of a fuel cell, and contacting a second gas to a cathode of the fuel cell. The first gas is capable of interacting with the anode to form protons, and the second gas is substantially free of a gas capable of being reduced by the cathode.

Systems and methods for executing compiled code having parallel code fragments is provided. One method includes storing executable code having a plurality of parallel code fragments, each of the plurality of parallel code fragments representing alternative executable paths through a code stream. The method includes translating the executable code into machine-readable code executable by a processor of the computing system. Translating the executable code includes selecting a code fragment from among the plurality of parallel code fragments for execution to select features for inclusion in execution at a time of execution. The method includes executing the machine-readable code within the hosted computing environment.

A shampoo bowl and neck/head rest combination wherein the shampoo bowl for receiving the neck and/or head area has a recessed area for receiving the neck/head rest below a top edge of the shampoo bowl. In another embodiment, a shampoo bowl arrangement comprises a bowl, the bowl dimensioned to receive a neck area and/or a head area of a person during a hair washing, hair cutting, massaging and/or hair coloring procedure; and one or more accessories, couplable to the bowl and utilizable during the hair washing, hair cutting, massaging and/or hair coloring procedure. In a preferred embodiment, a cushion is provided, wherein the cushion extends along at least a portion of a top edge of the shampoo bowl, and wherein the one or more accessories are coupled to the cushion and the cushion and the neck/head rest are integrated as one unit (e.g. one piece of material).

A method of determining whether a stack of components in a device are in a desired order includes irradiating each of the components in the device with an energy beam. The radiation emissions from each of the irradiated components are detected with a radiation detector. The detected radiation emissions are analyzed using a central processing unit (CPU) to determine whether the components in the device are stacked in the desired order.
摘要:
An affinity server estimates an affinity between two different time based media events (e.g., TV, radio, social media content stream), between a time based media event and a specific topic, or between two different topics, where the affinity score represents an intersection between the populations of social media users who have authored social media content items regarding the two different events and/or topics. The affinity score represents an estimation of the real world affinity between the real world population of people who have an interest in both time based media events, both topics, or in a time based media event and a topic. One possible threshold for including a social media user in a population may be based on a confidence score that indicates the confidence that one or more social media content items authored by the social media user are relevant to the topic or event in question.
摘要:
An interface is provided that configures itself dynamically based on sensor information received from a sensor assembly or actuator information received from an actuator assembly. The interface may be configured to interoperate with sensor assemblies including analog transducers, smart transducers providing digital outputs and various actuators. The sensor information or the actuator information may include information for managing power consumption associated with the operation of the sensor or the actuator. Using the sensor information or the actuator information, a power management scheme may be implemented to reduce power consumption and extend the operational time of a module. The sensor information also includes information about the sensor signal generated by the sensor. The information about the sensor signal allows the module to interoperate with more diverse types of sensors.
摘要:
Methods and systems for determining positioning of objects of interest within a scene in video content are disclosed. One method includes applying position detection tags to one or more physical objects in a scene to be captured as video content, and capturing video content including the scene containing the one or more physical objects such that positions of the physical objects are known. The method also includes detecting the one or more objects within a recorded scene of the video content, and identifying one or more objects of interest in the recorded scene corresponding to the objects at least in part by extrapolating from the known physical positions of the objects in the scene.
摘要:
An endoprosthesis includes a body that has a first bioerodible metal and a surface, and a capsule formed of a second bioerodible metal disposed on the surface. The capsule includes a porous peripheral region and a drug-containing core. A method of making such an endoprosthesis is also disclosed.
摘要:
A system and method for address space layout randomization (“ASLR”) for a Windows operating system is disclosed. The address space layout includes one or more memory regions that are identified and then a particular implementation of the system randomizes the identified memory region in order to prevent any software vulnerabilities.
摘要:
A method of forming a capacitor includes forming a first capacitor electrode over a semiconductor substrate. A capacitor dielectric region is formed onto the first capacitor electrode. The capacitor dielectric region has an exposed oxide containing surface. The exposed oxide containing surface of the capacitor dielectric region is treated with at least one of a borane or a silane. A second capacitor electrode is deposited over the treated oxide containing surface. The second capacitor electrode has an inner metal surface contacting against the treated oxide containing surface. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.
