Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a hardware enforcement mechanism to enable platform-specific firmware visibility into an error state ahead of the operating system are disclosed. A system includes at least one or more processor cores, control logic, a plurality of registers, platform-specific firmware, and an operating system (OS). The control logic allows the platform-specific firmware to decide if and when the error state is visible to the OS. In some cases, the platform-specific firmware blocks the OS from accessing the error state. In other cases, the platform-specific firmware allows the OS to access the error state such as when the OS needs to unmap a page. The control logic enables the platform-specific firmware, rather than the OS, to make decisions about the replacement of faulty components in the system.

Abstract: The present invention achieves technical advantages as a pilot and passenger seating. An aircraft employs a pilot seat, comprising a contoured structure having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, with left and right arm supports that include an articulated control knob, movable in three rectangular axes and rotatable about a vertical axis to provide one or more aircraft steering functions for an aircraft, and a touch-sensitive control surface for controlling one or more power system components. A passenger seat, having a contoured structure, having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, a headrest, a seat, a left support member, and a right support member are adapted to cradle a portion of a passenger's body to support the passenger during travel.

Abstract: A method and a system for assessing a condition in a subject. An example of a condition is a Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The method comprises measuring at least one speech-related variable in a subject; extracting a channel-delay correlation structure of the at least one speech-related variable; and generating an assessment of a condition of the subject, based on the correlation structure of the at least one speech-related variable.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a direct current electric motor and generator. The motor comprises a housing. A frame is attached to an armature that traverses the center of the housing with the frame being attached to the armature within the housing. At least two permanent magnets are affixed to the frame such that a first magnetic field of a first one of the at least two permanent magnets is antiparallel to a second magnetic field of a second one of the at least two permanent magnets. Further, a wire is wrapped around the housing to form a pair of coils such that each coil in the pair of coils is affixed to the housing opposite the other coil in the pair of coils and the pair of coils are oriented in an antiparallel manner with respect to each other. Finally, a switching device is attached to the wire.

Abstract: In a system and method for assessing the condition of a subject, control parameters are derived from a neurophysiological computational model that operates on features extracted from a speech signal. The control parameters are used as biomarkers (indicators) of the subject's condition. Speech related features are compared with model predicted speech features, and the error signal is used to update control parameters within the neurophysiological computational model. The updated control parameters are processed in a comparison with parameters associated with the disorder in a library.

Abstract: The invention concerns a module (100) adapted for use with a hand-held power drill (200) for dual-action abrading, polishing, and/or cleaning of a substrate. The module (100) uses a direct drive mechanism whereby rotation of a suitable work member (204) is actuated along a circular orbital path. The module (100) optionally includes a handle (114) coupled to the module (100), which allows the spindle (110) motion induced by the power drill (200) and the motion of the housing (102) to be effectively decoupled from each other and enhances operator control over the work member (204). Providing a modular device (100) that can be used with a common household tool results in an increased versatility as well as space and cost savings for the consumer.
