Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to improve fan operability control using smart materials. An engine comprising an engine surface in an airflow path, a sensor positioned on the engine surface, and a smart-material-based feature positioned on the engine surface, the smart-material-based feature triggered to modify the airflow path when the sensor outputs an indication of a detected deviation from a reference value of an operating parameter of the engine.

Abstract: A database system generates an execution plan including multiple operators for processing a database query, for example, a join query or a group by query. The database system allocates a set of threads. Threads communicate with other threads via blocking channels. A blocking channel includes a buffer of a fixed capacity. The database system processes the database query by streaming data through operators of the execution plan. A thread sends data generated by an operator to another thread via the blocking channel if the buffer of the blocking channel has available capacity to store the data, or else the thread blocks until the buffer has capacity to store the data. Similarly, a thread receives data generated by an operator of another thread via the blocking channel if the buffer of the blocking channel has available data, or else the thread blocks until the buffer has data.

At one end of the arm of the axle, a front portal suspension of a front wheel is rotatably arranged. At the other end of the arm of the axle, a rear portal suspension of the rear wheel is rotatably arranged. The front portal suspension of the front wheel and the rear portal suspension of the rear wheel comprise an angular chain transmission comprising a drive shaft having a longitudinal axis, a driven shaft having a longitudinal axis, a link chain for connecting the drive shaft and the driven shaft, and a pulley angular system of the link chain to define the angle (a) between the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft and the longitudinal axis of the driven shaft.

Abstract: The invention discloses an antibody that can bind an extra-cellular part of human CD89 (human Fc?RI) on human CD89 expressing cells that prevents binding of human IgA to human CD89 when the antibody is bound to said cells and that induces less cell death in said human CD89 expressing cells when compared to the antibody MIP8a. The invention also disclosed the use of such antibodies in combating certain diseases.

The flow bend can be provided with an inlet curved section, a middle straight section, and an outlet curved section, wherein axes of the inlet curved section and the outlet curved section are in a parallel direction and connected to a pipe opening of size DN.

Abstract: A washing machine has a rotatable drum and drum drive and a drum container for it, an inlet device to introduce water into the drum onto laundry therein, a pump and water pipes, several temperature sensors on the drum container, a heater for heating water and a washing machine controller connected to everything. Laundry in the drum is moistened with a defined quantity of water, wherein the moisture penetration varies depending on the fiber type of the laundry. Then a predefined quantity of water with a predefined temperature is applied to this laundry. The washing machine controller can deduce the fiber type of the laundry from the way how quickly and to what extent heat is extracted from this quantity of water.

Abstract: A sealing system for joints of joinery construction elements, especially windows and exit doors, includes an insulating material, an internal sealing layer disposed over an interior surface of the insulating material and an external sealing layer disposed over an exterior surface of the insulating material. The internal sealing layer has a low vapor permeability with an equivalent diffusion resistance factor (Sd) equal to or greater than 30 m, and the external sealing layer has a vapor permeability greater than the vapor permeability of the internal sealing layer with an equivalent diffusion resistance factor (Sd) not greater than 2 m.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a water filter for an aquarium that includes a housing, a cover, a removable first and second body, and an actuator. The housing includes an interior area configured to house filtration cartridges and an opening closable by the cover.
