Abstract: A transformable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), can operate as a coplanar hexacopter or as an omnidirectional multirotor based on different operation modes. The UAV has 100% force efficiency for launching or landing tasks in the coplanar mode. In the omnidirectional mode, the UAV is fully actuated in the air for agile mobility in six degrees of freedom (DOFs). Models and control design are developed to characterize the motion of the transformable UAV. Simulation results are presented to validate the transformable UAV design and the enhanced UAV performance, compared with a fixed structure.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for producing generic Internet Protocol (IP) reputation through cross-protocol analysis are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a data collector to gather a first data set representing IP telemetry data for a first protocol, the data collector to gather a second data set representing IP telemetry data for a second protocol different from the first protocol. A label generator is to generate a training data set based on records in the first data set and the second data set having matching IP addresses, the training data set to include combined label indicating whether each of the respective matching IP addresses is malicious. A model trainer is to train a machine learning model using the training data set. A model executor is to, responsive to a request from a client device, execute the machine learning model to determine whether a requested IP address is malicious.

Abstract: A device for holding and organizing items includes an anchor for fastening the device to an object; a strap adapted to secure the items to the device; and a connector, having an upper piece and a lower piece that pivot relative to one another, the upper piece being connected to the anchor and the lower piece being connected to the strap.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a process for melting and refining vitrifiable materials, such that all or part of the thermal energy necessary for melting the said vitrifiable materials is supplied by the combustion of fossil fuel(s) with at least one oxidizer gas, the said fuel(s)/gas or the gaseous products resulting from the combustion being injected below the level of the mass of vitrifiable materials (7). The refining of the vitrifiable materials after melting takes place at least partly in the form of a “thin layer”. The invention also relates to the device for implementing the process and to its applications.

A second end bar is included having first and second ends. At least one intermediate bar between is positioned between the first and second end bars, the at least one intermediate bar having first and second ends, with first and second spacers mounted on the first and second ends thereof. The first and second ends of the first and second end bars and the at least one intermediate bar have first and second apertures extending through. First and second stretchable cords have first and second ends attached to said first and second end bars and extending through the fist and second apertures in the first and second end bars and the at least one intermediate bar.

Abstract: An electrical system according to various aspects of the present invention includes a supply configured to provide a signal at a desired level. The supply monitors the output signal and compares the output signal to multiple thresholds. If the signal crosses a coarse-adjustment threshold, the supply coarsely adjusts the output to the load to quickly drive the signal toward the target level. If the signal crosses a fine adjustment threshold, the supply finely adjusts the output.

Abstract: A servovalve has a sleeve having both a first metering aperture and a second metering aperture in fluid communication with a single port cavity defined by the servovalve. A spool oriented within the sleeve has a first land and a second land and defines a channel oriented between the first land and the second land. When the spool orients in a null position within the sleeve, the first land overlaps the first metering aperture and the second land overlaps the second metering aperture. As a low viscosity fluid within the servovalve assembly leaks across the first land and enters the channel, the overlap of the first and second lands with the first and second metering apertures minimizes flow of the fluid from the channel into the port cavity associated with the metering apertures. The configuration of the sleeve assembly, therefore, maintains a relatively large pressure gain within the servovalve assembly.

Abstract: Vaccine composition containing IL-15 for active immunization to treatment diseases related to over-expression of this cytokine. The technical aim pursued in this invention is to inhibit IL-15 activity through development of a therapeutic vaccine which elicits IL-15 neutralizing antibodies in the immunized host. IL-15 can be presented in this vaccine composition either alone or coupled to a carrier such as the P64k protein with a vaccine adjuvant such as Aluminum hydroxide. Besides, this invention is related to the use of this vaccine for treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis and other IL-15 over-expressing related diseases, and leukemia, where this cytokine acts as a growth factor.
