Abstract: A foamable composition for injecting in a region of a ship, for example to prevent and/or reduce water ingress and/or progressive flooding in the ship so as to improve damage stability of the ship, is foamable to form a foam and is dissolvable in a removal composition. The provision of a foam, which can be dissolved by application of a removal composition, e.g., a solvent, may improve ease of removal of the foam, and therefore may reduce the cost and/or speed of reinstatement of the ship. The present invention also relates to a method of improving damage stability of a ship, the method comprising identifying one or more regions of the ship where injection of a material may lead to increase in ship stability, the material being impermeable to water and/or being capable of preventing migration of water.

Abstract: A system may include a detector, a controller, a shuffler, and a processor. The detector may detect a signal. The controller may control the shuffler based upon the signal. The shuffler may shuffle a plurality of channels at the input of a plurality of processing elements of the processor based upon the signal. The processor may process the signal according to the plurality of channels as configured by the shuffler.

Abstract: A continuous time ?? modulation system with automatic timing adjustment includes a loop filter having continuous time elements for receiving an input; and an ADC for sampling the output from the loop filter in response to an ADC clock; a DAC responsive to the output from the ADC for feeding back an input to the loop filter in response to a DAC clock; a timing measurement circuit for detecting a difference in the timing of the ADC sampling time and the DAC update time and a timing adjustment circuit responsive to the timing measurement circuit for adjusting the timing of at least one of the DAC and ADC clocks for aligning their respective update and sampling times.
