Abstract: Node-link data can be converted into audio outputs. For example, a system can generate a graphical user interface (GUI) depicting a node-link diagram having nodes and links. The GUI can include a virtual reference point in the node-link diagram and a virtual control element that is rotatable around the virtual reference point by a user to contact one or more of the nodes in the node-link diagram. The system can receive user input for rotating the virtual control element around the virtual reference point, which can generate a contact between the virtual control element and a particular node of the node-link diagram. In response to detecting the contact, the system can determine a sound characteristic configured to indicate an attribute associated with the particular node. The system can then generate a sound having the sound characteristic, for example to assist the user in exploring the node-link diagram.

The first proxy module may send the content object to the first user device.

Abstract: A method for the heat treatment of a steel reinforcing element (F) for a tire, comprises a step of reducing the temperature of the reinforcing element by continuous cooling: from an initial temperature of the austenite range, to a final temperature of the ferrite-pearlite range, passing through at least one transformation range of the steel, the transformation range(s) being distinct from the bainite range. The temperature reduction step comprises a transformation (C2, C3) from the austenitic microstructure to the ferritic-pearlitic microstructure. The temperature of the reinforcing element is strictly decreasing during the reduction step. The mean rate of temperature reduction during the transformation (C2, C3) of the steel microstructure is greater than or equal to 30° C.·s?1 and less than or equal to 110° C.·s?1.
