Abstract: A computing device analyzes the transaction entries of a recovery log, generates graphical representations of the analysis, and displays the graphical representations in an interactive visual display for a user. The analysis is conducted over a predetermined time period, as defined by a user, and in light of user-defined filter information. The graphs are also categorized into respective groups that are defined by the user. Selecting a point along one of the graphs identifies the commands and objects that were involved in executing those commands.

Abstract: Techniques to manage platform migrations are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise an interface component, a bundle component, and an execution component. The interface component may be operative to receive a command from a client, the command comprising a bundle identifier for the client. The bundle component may be operative to determine a bundle of platform migrations associated with the client based on the bundle identifier. The execution component may be operative to execute the command on behalf of the client based on the bundle of platform migrations. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A device for improving performance and improving assessment in a combat training center includes light shot simulators with weapon-linked transmitters and/or transceivers as active equipment and personal or passive equipment of exercise participants, with light-signal receivers and decoding electronics as well as GPS equipment assigned to a person and/or exercise device, for a determination of position, as well as radio equipment of the persons and/or the device, for bi-directional communication with a central administration. The light-signal receivers are equipped for additional detection of the position of the exercise participants in rooms/buildings and vehicles, by means of the reception of signals from light-optic angle transmitters.

Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation cooler (EGR cooler) provided in an exhaust gas recirculation line departing from an exhaust system and opening into an intake system of an internal combustion engine is configured as a heat pipe heat exchanger including at least one enclosed and evacuated heat pipe filled with a working medium, the first end of the heat pipe being subject to exhaust gas from the exhaust gas recirculation line and the second end being in contact with a heat sink. In order to provide a compact design which will permit simple and effective cooling of the recycled exhaust gas, the longitudinal axis of the EGR cooler is aligned in parallel with the axis of the at least one heat pipe, so that an essentially axial flow of exhaust gas is obtained in the EGR cooler.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exhaust gas recirculation cooler (9), which is provided in an exhaust gas recirculation line (4) departing from an exhaust system (3) and opening into an intake system (2) of an internal combustion engine (1), and is configured as a heat pipe heat exchanger including at least one enclosed and evacuated heat pipe (11) filled with a working medium, the first end (15) of said heat pipe (11) being subject to exhaust gas from the exhaust gas recirculation line (4) and the second end (16) being in contact with a heat sink. In order to provide a compact design which will permit simple and effective cooling of the recycled exhaust gas, the longitudinal axis (9′) of the EGR cooler (9) is aligned in parallel with the axis (11′) of the at least one heat pipe (11), so that an essentially axial flow of exhaust gas will be obtained in the EGR cooler (9).

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an optical weapon effect simulation method for training of soldiers at least at two different weapons, whereas each weapon is equipped as an attacking as well as a target system. The attacking system has a laser pulse transmitter and measurement unit attached to the weapon which transmits laser signals with at least two different wavelengths .lambda..sub.1, .lambda..sub.2 and detects the appropriate signal reflections. The target system is provided with at least one retro-reflector with integrated selective filter, optical receiver with selective filter and evaluation electronics. Only laser pulses of a defined wavelength are reflected or accepted by the target system. Inherent errors resulting from reflections caused by numerous targets which cannot be separated and the falsification of target positions are eliminated. Target types are identified by the attacker based upon a wavelength of laser signal received.

Abstract: A ring flaker has a housing with a back opening so that a blade ring mounted to an arbor assembly can be slid backwards away from the housing to allow the blade ring to be replaced without removing the housing. This arrangement reduces the down time generally necessary to replace a blade ring in a ring flaker. The back opening in the housing is of sufficient size to permit the blade ring to be axially withdrawn. The arbor assembly has a slide arrangement on the ring flaker carriage and there is provision to use a hydraulic jack to move the arbor assembly on the slide arrangement for a distance sufficient for the blade ring to be disconnected for removal and replacement.

Abstract: A laser resonator has a semitransparent outlet mirror and a first mirror, with an active element between the mirrors, all the elements arranged perpendicular to the optical axis of the resonator. A shutter is provided behind the first mirror and a second mirror is arranged behind the shutter, perpendicular to the optical axis of the resonator. The second mirror is fully reflective for radiation with stronger laser transition and the first mirror is fully reflective for radiation with weaker laser transition and fully penetrable for radiation with stronger transition. The resonator can change frequency simply by opening or closing the shutter. It can be advantageously used, for example, in the design and construction of laser scalpels.
