Abstract: A composition of autonomous self-learning skill software components interact with one another to solve a real time complex task. Each software component includes a knowledge base and an inference algorithm that uses the knowledge base to solve a given data-processing task involving input data. Each software component may also include a machine learning algorithm for training the knowledge base with new data in real-time as the new data is received.

Abstract: This device comprises a hollow body, the hollow body defining: an internal conduit for distributing the first fluid, the internal conduit defining an inner volume; an external conduit or distributing the second fluid, the internal conduit and the external conduit extending coaxially along a longitudinal axis (AA?). It at least comprises one metal tube extending along the longitudinal axis (AA?) and being positioned in the inner volume of the internal conduit and/or in the downstream extension of the internal conduit and/or of the external conduit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one cross-linked polymer or a cross-linked copolymer, the polymer or copolymer comprising at least one unit derived from the polymerization of one of the monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, alkyl acrylate comprising from 1 to 30 carbon atoms and salts thereof, for stabilizing at least one perfuming agent in a composition comprising at least 3% by weight of perfuming agent(s), the perfuming agent being in the form of dispersed drops in an aqueous gel, the aqueous gel comprising water, a buffer having a pKa comprised from 4.0 to 9.0 and a base, and the size of the perfuming agent drops ranging from 0.2 ?m to 5,000 ?m.

Abstract: A non-planar target board, fascia boards connected to the non-planar target board, and support members connected to one or more of the fascia boards and the underside of the target board, form at least one target board assembly for an advanced bag toss game. A method of making the target board assembly is also a part of the invention.

Abstract: A flow evacuation system for an aircraft engine including an engine nozzle that conveys the engine exhaust flow and an eductor receiving the engine exhaust flow and engine ventilation flow is disclosed. The engine nozzle has a final section in contact by its outer surface with the ventilation flow. The engine exhaust flow has a low swirl when the engine operates under design conditions and a high swirl when the engine operates out of design conditions. The engine nozzle includes a plurality of local flow conditioners placed in its inner surface in the final section for reducing the swirl of the engine exhaust flow at the exit of the engine nozzle.

Abstract: The invention relates to an unmanned air vehicle control system and method, designed such that, in one mission mode, the vehicle follows the mission route. The system comprises means (400, 450) for storing data indicating at least one auxiliary route (4000, 4001, 4002, 4003), such that each of a plurality of the mission route segments (10, 20), is assigned at least part (30, 31, 32, 33) of at least one auxiliary route. Furthermore, the system comprises route change means (53) designed for, as a response to a mission abandonment event (52), determining which part of which auxiliary route is assigned to the mission route segment where the vehicle is located, such that the vehicle can change the mission route to the corresponding auxiliary route.

Abstract: According to the method of the invention, control parameters V indicating speed, R indicating turn characteristics and ? indicating a path angle are determined such that these parameters are maintained between limits, and such that one of them deviates as little as possible from a corresponding control input parameter Ri. In order to maintain (as much as possible) the value of R unchanged, V can be varied. The method may include the calculation of the maximum and minimum thrust available.

Abstract: Production of sulfur dioxide by means of the combustion of sulfur and pure oxygen in a closed system that produces a high yield in the recovery of SO2 and reduces environmental contamination to levels below the standard requirements. Sulfur dioxide is produced by burning sulfur and pure oxygen diluted in recirculated combustive gas that has been previously cooled in order to maintain combustion at less than 1200° C. The gaseous mix thus obtained would be comprised of approximately 16% V/V oxygen and 84% V/V of SO2. This latter percentage makes it very easy to liquefy SO2 so that a 95% SO2 recovery efficiency would be obtained at ?10° C. The non-liquefied gas is recirculated in a closed system. The SO2 content in the 84% V/V SO2 gas could even be liquefied at 20° C., at 5 bar, thus increasing the system's efficiency even further.
