Abstract: A budding material based on calcium hydroxide, in which the main component is lime of the type known as “hydrated lime”, which is mixed a filler of organic and/or mineral origin to produce a structural mass comprising of the basic component and the filler. A defined volume of water, calculated as a function of the volume of the structural mass, is added thereto to produce a paste that can be worked and is capable of hardening. To ensure setting of the material, an additive comprising at least one powder based on natural materials of volcanic origin is added to the pasty structural mass. The additive is preferably pozzolana and the filler advantageously comprises shavings or fibers of substances, preferably of vegetable origin such as hemp or wood.

Abstract: A de-noising algorithm is executed dynamically as data is received to generate and update a set of candidate solutions. Each candidate solution is a representation of the data using one or more line segments, and each line segment is fitted to the data within the time period that the segment spans. During each iteration of the algorithm, one candidate solution is identified as a best solution, and properties of the best solution are utilized to dynamically compute properties of the data. To limit the number of active candidate solutions and the corresponding processing power required to update and evaluate them, candidate solutions that fall too far behind the best candidate solution are eliminated from consideration. The de-noising algorithm finds particular utility in the context of a load cell signal that is representative of a weight of an intravenous fluid container.
