Optionally, a motor is provided between the inner cabin and outer shell to dampen rotation of the inner cabin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for calculating spare capacity in a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) communication network at sector and network level. The capacity is measured in terms of sellable customers, that is, the number of Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) that can be connected to a sector in order to deliver a minimum guaranteed downlink speed at a busy hour to each user. Using the available technical assets, business requirements (installation metrics, guaranteed speed, sales rate, CPE categories) and the performance of each individual sector and customer (cell and user delivered throughputs, radio quality of existing customers, activity ratio of existing customers), the present invention enables accurate estimation of the remaining number of sellable customer premise equipment, and to identify capacity bottlenecks, forecast capacity expansions and plan marketing campaigns or promotions.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system that enables a user to efficiently view messages of a conversation that are more relevant to the user. The system is configured to display content of a first application within an application user interface (UI) and to determine that a message of a second application being monitored includes a trigger feature that comprises a piece of information or an interaction from another user that is worthy of the user's attention. The system can then generate a visual notification for the trigger feature. The visual notification can be displayed in association with a graphical element of the application UI. Upon receiving an indication of a selection of the visual notification, the system can switch from displaying the content of the first application to displaying the message of the second application and trigger feature and/or change visual characteristics associated with the message to bring focus to the message.

Abstract: The invention is a method to optimize solar photovoltaic power plant repowering by making use of the smart predictive and preventive maintenance which detects failures in modules or in cells within modules, i.e., aerial inspections by infrared thermography and/or electroluminescence. In the method object of the invention, the detected failed modules are separated in different types of failures: A—irreversible; B—reversible and C—partly reusable. Repowering consists on substituting modules of type A for new, more powerful ones, and re-group them series-connected within the same strings (1). Modules with type B failures are repaired and installed back in their original place, and modules C are either re-grouped in series-strings, or substituted by new, more powerful modules, also series connected in strings (1).

Abstract: A sequential or cascading predictive control method is provided, including first solving a cost function and then a second cost function for two or more control objectives. The method includes separating the cost function into at least two or more cost functions, depending on the number of defined control objectives. The method additionally includes controlling a first variable with a unitary cost function, a single term or nature of the control objectives. The method also includes determining the possible states that minimize the cost of the first objective to be controlled. Considering only the options given through this determination, a second variable is controlled with a cost function that minimizes the cost function thereof.
