Abstract: A method and system that utilizes a metagraph pattern matching chip (MPMC), which includes on-chip and off-chip software. The chip is designed with parallel MIMD cores optimized for artificial general intelligence (AGI) software programs. Specialized on-chip memory caches, each attached to their own specialized processing units, allow for dynamic updating and a mixture of discrete and floating-point operations. Additional software provides the interface between the CPU and MPMC to manage cache. The result is faster execution time for any graph-based architectures and implementation of functional programming interpreters.

Abstract: A nasal interface has a first nasal delivery element and second nasal delivery element, each configured to seal with a respective naris of a patient. A gases manifold comprises a gases inlet for delivery of respiratory gases to the gases manifold. The first nasal delivery element and second nasal delivery element are in fluid communication with the gases inlet via the gases manifold. The first nasal delivery element is proximal to, and the second nasal delivery element is distal from, the gases inlet. The nasal interface comprises a bypass restriction to provide a pressure drop through the nasal interface between the first nasal delivery element and second nasal delivery element when gases are delivered from the gases inlet to the first nasal delivery element and second nasal delivery element such that pressure at the first nasal delivery element is higher than pressure at the second nasal delivery element.

The fuel barb of the bypass block is rotatable between, at least, the first stop face and the second stop face.

Abstract: An aircraft fuselage is configured to receive two tanks designed to contain liquid hydrogen. The fuselage includes a first section for a cockpit, a second section for a passenger cabin and a third section (T3) distinct from the first section (T1) and from the second section (T2). The third section (T3) includes two housings each to house a tank. The two housings are arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane of symmetry (P1). This arrangement of the tanks in a section distinct from the other sections allows them to be located as close as possible to the motors that they have to supply.
