Abstract: A number of devices are provided for detecting presence of ice in an airstream. In some examples such device includes a housing defining a first chamber and a second chamber, and a partition wall separating the first chamber and the second chamber. The first chamber has at least one inlet opening on a front housing wall facing the airstream, and at least one outlet opening, smaller than the at least one inlet opening. The second chamber is configured for being operatively coupled to at least one electromagnetic (EM) system that is configured for transmitting EM energy to the first chamber at least via the partition wall, which is transparent and/or translucent with respect to the EM energy, the EM energy being configured for melting ice that can accrete with respect to the inlet opening.

Abstract: An aircraft pylon is provided, configured for mounting to the underside of an aircraft wing projecting from a fuselage and for carrying an external payload suspended therefrom. The pylon comprises an attachment mechanism configured for facilitating mounting of the pylon to the aircraft wing, and a carrying arrangement configured for carrying the payload and being pivotally articulated to the attachment mechanism. The pylon is configured to selectively pivot the carrying arrangement about a pylon axis between a vertical position in which it is suspended in a substantially vertical orientation, and a tilted position in which it is tilted toward the fuselage.

Abstract: A hovering aerial vehicle is provided, comprising an airborne unit and an auxiliary unit. The airborne unit is configured to carry the auxiliary unit during flight and comprises a flight system configured to facilitate providing aerodynamic lift to facilitate hovering of the vehicle. The auxiliary unit comprises an electrical power source in electrical communication with the flight system to provide electrical power for its operation. The hovering aerial vehicle further comprises a decoupling system configured to facilitate selectively switching the vehicle between a detached configuration thereof wherein the airborne and auxiliary units are remote from each other, and an attached configuration thereof wherein the airborne and auxiliary units are secured to one another, and to maintain the electrical communication when the vehicle is in its detached configuration.

Abstract: A system and method for correlating events in data processing resources processing a workload. An event correlation service comprising an event correlation service software framework is provided on a processor unit. The event correlation service is configured, using the event correlation service software framework, for correlating the events from monitored data for the workload, wherein the workload is processed using the data processing resources provided by a provider of the data processing resources. The event correlation service receives monitored data for the workload as the workload is being processed. The monitored data is processed by the event correlation service to identify an occurrence of an event of interest for the workload as the workload is being processed. An output is provided in response to identifying the occurrence of the event of interest.

Abstract: A foldable bag for insulating a bottle or other beverage container comprises means for attaching the bag in its folded state wherein the bag can serve as a label on the outside of the bottle, and means for attaching the bag to the bottle in its unfolded state wherein the bag envelops the bottle to provide thermal insulation. A method for attaching a folded label to a bottle comprises: attaching a first side of the label to the bottle using a glue; wrapping the label around the bottle; attaching a second side of the label to the surface of the label using glue, in such a way that the label becomes attached to the bottle and the second side covers the side opening at the first side of the label.
