Abstract: Variable thermal resistors, systems, and methods suitable for modulating heat transport between a heat source and a heat sink based on a degree of compression of a reversibly-compressible, open-pore graphene foam within the variable thermal resistors. The variable thermal resistor is configured to controllably vary heat transport therethrough by controlling the degree of compression of the graphene foam.

Abstract: A client computing system receives a chat message with an action identifier. The chat message is parsed to identify executable recovery code on the client computing system. The executable recovery code is represented in a chat message interface on the client computing system, along with an authorization actuator. Actuation of the authorization actuator is detected and the recovery code is executed on the client computing system.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a multi-cone X-ray imaging Bragg crystal spectrometer for spectroscopy of small x-ray sources with a well-defined spectral resolution. The spectrometer includes a glass substrate machined to a multi-cone form; and a thin crystal slab attached to the glass substrate, whereby the multi-cone X-ray imaging Bragg crystal spectrometer provides rotational symmetry of a ray pattern, providing for accurate imaging, for each wavelength in the spectral range of interest. One or more embodiments include a streak camera and/or a gated strip detector.

Abstract: Method for optimising the design of sealing rings of internal manhole covers which close the manhole openings over the inner surface of the skin of an aircraft structure, the surface that is in contact with the inner surface of the skin being the optimized surface of said sealing rings, the method including dividing the outer contour and the inner contour of the optimised surface into n points; grouping into families Fi the sealing rings of each manhole opening; generating the curves that are best adapted to the set of points taken for the outer contour and for the inner contour of each sealing ring for each one of the families Fi; generating a ruled surface among the curves generated for each one of the families Fi.

Abstract: Embodiments for controlling one or more external audio-visual devices are provided. In one example, a method comprises receiving a device command and determining an intent of the device command. The intent includes an action and an external device to perform the action. The method further comprises selecting a selected protocol for communicating the device command to the external device, where the selected protocol is selected from a plurality of supported protocols, and communicating the device command to the external device according to the selected protocol.

Abstract: A luminous and/or audible remote detector to indicate leakage of liquids in stationary tanks, such as for toilets and the like, comprising one or several pairs of electrodes installed at a certain level of the tank or inside the drain pipe of same. Each pair of electrodes being connected to a source of energy and to a lamp and/or bell located on a remote display board. Each pair of electrodes actuating as a normally open or closed switches depending if they are located above or below of the normal level of the liquid contained in said tank, which serves as conductor between said electrodes, producing the energizing of the lamp or bell connected to its circuit and indicating visually or audibly to a supervisor malfunctioning or leakage of liquid in the normal operation of said tank.

Abstract: A rake comprising a frame, a plurality of rake wheels rotatably journalled by the frame and three members for fastening the frame to the three suspension rods of a tractor is simplified due to the fact that the fastening members are arranged on the three ends of a T-shaped frame tilted over an acute angle.
