Abstract: A new construction material prepared from a new pozzolanic material.

Abstract: The present invention is adapted to be implemented for a search engine allowing iterations during the search for content. The invention determines and broadcasts a personalized content, by: •collecting information relating to at least one interaction of a user •determining at least one centre of interest of the user, •determining at least one measurement of the commitment of the user, •determining a context characterization related to the current session and a characterization of a degree of interest of the user •broadcasting, to the navigation module, a content personalized as a function of the characterization of the centre of interest and of the degree of commitment determined.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for searching in a database containing at least one set of objects each linked to at least one descriptor, the search being done by a search engine from at least one request by a user in order to return at least one result object. The request includes at least one search parameter having a series of at least one search element obtained by freely adding elements to the series by the user, the addition step being able to be repeated multiple times until a search instruction is given.

Abstract: The invention relates to low-emissivity and anti-solar glazing systems that change only very little in properties when they are subjected to a heat treatment. They comprise a stack of thin layers comprising an alternating arrangement of n infrared radiation reflecting functional layers and n+1 dielectric coatings, characterized in that: (i) the first dielectric coating comprises a layer made from an oxide in contact with the substrate, (ii) the portion of the coating stack between two functional layers comprises, in order: a barrier layer, a zinc oxide-based layer, a layer of zinc-tin mixed oxide, a nucleation layer, and (iii) the last dielectric coating comprises a layer made from an oxide other than silicon oxide with a thickness greater than 3 nm overlaid with a layer made from a silicon nitride or a silicon oxide with a thickness greater than 10 nm superposed thereon.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for searching, in a database containing a set of objects each linked to a descriptor, including the following steps: receiving a first request, emitted by a terminal, and including information pertaining to a selection by a user of a theme from a set of themes, each theme being associated to a descriptor; searching, within the database, based on the first request, of a first set of objects; transmitting the first set of objects to the terminal; receiving a second request, emitted by the terminal, and including an information pertaining to an indication of relevance or non-relevance of one of the objects of the first set of objects; searching, in the database and/or in the first set of objects, based on the second request, of a second set of objects; and transmitting the second set of objects to the terminal.

Abstract: A method refines the results of a search for objects within a database containing a set of objects each associated with a descriptor. The method includes a step of presenting to a user the set of objects, and a part of the objects is associated with a clickable image for a user to signal the relevance or non-relevance of the said object in relation to the user's search. The method further includes a step of assigning a weight to descriptors of an object and another step of calculating a resultant of the weights. The calculating step is followed by the step of initializing a relevance index for each result object and the step of comparing each result object to the resultant and presenting to the user the result objects in the order of relevance index.

Abstract: A process for securing the access to the resources of an Information Handling System (I.H.S.) in accordance with the present invention which involves the steps of: initiating a first preliminary qualification process for the purpose of generating a system qualification file (SQF) comprising a list and identifiers of components detected within the system; encrypting the qualification file in order to create a reference system qualification signature (RQS); and storing the reference qualification signature (RQS); and initiating preliminary to a transaction or to a service to be secured, a validation process for the purpose of generating a new system qualification file; encrypting the new system qualification file in order to generate a checking signature; and comparing the checking signature with the reference signature and, in response to the comparison, allowing or denying access to the transaction or service.

Abstract: The invention relates to an iron. The inventive iron consists of a liquid container (6) comprising an inlet (7) which is fitted with means of receiving and guiding the liquid through said opening towards the container. Preferably, the aforementioned means comprise a part (9) in the form of a slide valve or chute. Moreover, said means, which pass through the opening, can move in translation between a first open position, whereby the liquid can be introduced, and a second closed position, whereby the means are retracted into the iron in order to close the opening (7).
