Abstract: A flow path assembly for a gas turbine engine is provided. The flow path assembly may include an outer casing comprising a metal material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion, a ceramic structure comprising a ceramic material having a second coefficient of thermal expansion, and a mounting component attached on a first end to the outer casing and attached on a second end to the ceramic structure. The mounting component may be constructed from at least two materials transitioning from the first end to the second end such that the coefficient of thermal expansion is different at the first end than the second end.

Abstract: Diffusing a root identity of an entity among association and event covenants in a multi-dimensional computing security system involves generating a first generation of diffusion of identities of entities participating in mediated association and generating a second generation of diffusion of identities of the entities through recombinant mediated association of the entities and at least one other entity. The second generation of diffusion of identities facilitates securely constraining a computing system action associated with one of the entities.

Abstract: Synthesizing a control object for a computing event, the control object for securing a computing resource based on a set of access and privilege information provided through a set of mediated associations that are represented by an enchained set of certificates, portions of which are encrypted including entity-specific paths to entity-specific predecessor certificates and partial decryption keys therefor, wherein the control object is applied to secure the computing resource for performing a computing action indicated by a process-type entity identified in the certificate for the control object.

Abstract: Establishing event-specific trust through data-centric mediation by: generating a mediated covenant of association as an instance of trust among a plurality of entities at an association layer of a multi-layer computer security system; constructing a security model enforceable by the multi-layer computer security system that expresses node-node semantic relationships as links among nodes of the model representing protectable computing resources; and producing an event-specific security model via informatic convolution of elements of the covenant with elements of the security model, so that the event-specific security model is operable to constrain a computing action among computing resources represented by the plurality of entities.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a media player and computer-readable mediums, are described for rendering media content at a frame rate that is safe to a user. A system, or its media player, obtains media content that includes video content having multiple frames. The system determines a frame rate representing a rate for sequentially displaying the frames to the user when the media player plays the media content. Image content of each frame is scanned and data describing different photosensitivity thresholds is obtained. Based on a photosensitivity of the user, the system determines that one or more frames in a portion of the media content include image content that is unsafe to the user when the media player plays the media content. The system selectively decreases a frame playback rate for the portion of the media content as a function of an input value that is selectable by the user.

Abstract: A system and method for promoting angiogenesis and adipogenesis in soft tissue using a tissue enlargement apparatus. The tissue enlargement apparatus includes an interface configured for affixation to the soft tissue. A force generating device is coupled to the interface by a connecting tube for applying mechanical forces to the soft tissue. A processor is coupled to the force generating device and is configured to apply intermittent cyclical patterns of the mechanical forces to the soft tissue to promote angiogenesis and adipogenesis in soft tissue. The intermittent cyclical patterns are based on at least one of duration, frequency, and intensity of the mechanical forces.

Abstract: A caseless ammunition cartridge includes a unitary outer portion having forward, central section and rear sections. The forward section has an aerodynamic tangent ogive profile. The rear section has a cylindrical profile. The central section has a conical profile that transitions from the radius of the forward section to the radius of the rear section. An inner core, disposed within the unitary metallic outer portion, has a front portion encased by the forward section of the unitary outer portion, and a cylindrical rear portion disposed within the central and rear sections of the unitary outer portion. An annular cavity is disposed between the unitary outer portion and the rear portion of the inner core. A propellant is disposed within the annular cavity. A combustible seal covers the annular cavity to protect the propellant.

Abstract: Managing looped, iterative and recursive operations through applying a parameterized instance of an assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair to a reference data model to produce a parameterized outcome model. Based on a degree of convergence of the parameterized outcome model toward a target parameterized instance of the assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair, assembling and parameterizing a next assertion-model and a next apportionment-sub-model pair. Repeating these steps until an instance of a parameterized outcome model meets a preconfigured degree of convergence toward a corresponding target parameterized instance of the assertion-model apportionment-sub-model pair.
