Abstract: A method of porosification of a structure including a base substrate covered with (Al,In,Ga)N/(Al,In,Ga)N mesas, including a porosification step during which the (Al,In,Ga)N/(Al,In,Ga)N mesas are electrochemically porosified, during the porosification step, the structure further comprises, between the mesas or between groups of mesas, electrically-conductive lines covered with an electrically-insulating element.

Abstract: In a system including a plurality of computing subsystems executing a set of hosted applications, each of the computing subsystems maintains a copy of a common routing matrix defining, for each hosted application, an identifier of a computing subsystem configured to host the application. A first intra-subsystem routing component of a first one of the computing subsystems receives a message; determines a target one of the hosted applications to process the message; identifies, according to the common routing matrix, a second one of the computing subsystems that executes the target hosted application; and in response to the identifying, provides the message and a routing indicator to a first inter-subsystem routing component of the first computing subsystem. The first inter-subsystem routing component the transmits the message to the second computing subsystem.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for capping incoming transactions in inbound stateful conversations established between a client and a plurality of conversation servers of a service integrator. For each client, a group of conversation servers is allocated to handle the inbound stateful conversations initiated. Each conversation server in the group broadcasts a local traffic value periodically to the other conversation servers in the group. Each conversation server in the group calculates a transaction capping limit based on a client global transaction capping limit and the broadcasted local traffic values from the other conversation servers in the group. Each conversation server limits the rate of incoming transactions received by the client when exceeding the local transaction capping limit.

Abstract: A golf swing training device has a base with a top side and a bottom side, where at least one ground anchor extends from the base away from the bottom side to engage the ground. The base also has at least one substantially horizontal indicator rod on the top side thereof, where the rod has a proximal end fixed to the base and a distal end extending from the base, where the rod has transverse sides, where the rod is configured to vibrate in a generally horizontal plane. The golf swing training device additionally has at least one bumper on the base on either side of the substantially horizontal indicator rod, where the horizontal indicator rod is configured to vibrate or move between the bumpers in a transverse horizontal direction where range of horizontal direction is limited by the bumpers.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of cells of a medullary or extra-medullary white adipose tissue, in particular of an extra-medullary stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and/or mature dedifferentiated adipocytes of any origin for initiating the formation of a functional vascularisation.

Abstract: An ambulatory assistance system includes an article of footwear adapted to be worn on a foot of a user or walking aid devices; and a barrier coupled to the article of footwear such that, when the article of footwear is worn on a foot of the user, at least a portion of the barrier extends into a visually engagable region that is adjacent to a medial side of the one foot of the user, that is visible to the user, and that lies in a path of movement of another foot of the user. Further, the barrier may be coupled to the article of footwear via an attachment. Moreover, the ambulatory assistance system may be adapted for use with one or two articles of footwear.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a combination of an antiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (CEI) and of a diuretic for the treatment of arteriolo-capillary microcirculatory disorders and to pharmaceutical compositions containing the same.

Abstract: A garment dryer having a plurality of segments which are connected together to form the shape of a garment. The garment dryer has a body assembly having two or more body segments to which is connected a pair of extremity assemblies, each of which may be formed in two or more parts. The extremity assemblies may be either arm assemblies or leg assemblies, or both. The arm assemblies may be used with the body assembly to dry garments such as sweaters and sweatshirts. The leg assemblies may be used with the body assembly to dry garments such as pants. The arm and leg assemblies could be used together with the body assembly to dry garments such as jumpsuits. A garment is placed over the assembled garment dryer and is allowed to dry by hanging it either vertically or horizontally. Each of the segments of the garment dryer will nest within one of the other segments so that the entire garment dryer can be compactly stored.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a bundle of tubes connected between two water boxes, each of the latter being delimited by a wall of moulded plastics material having two opposed, lateral faces on which are secured lateral portions of two mountings which join the two water boxes together and which enclose the tube bundle between them. Each water box is secured to each mounting by means of at least one self-tapping screw which passes through an aperture formed in a lateral portion of the mounting and which engages in a bore formed in the wall of the water box.
