Abstract: Containers for cake pops have an upper and a lower that are mateable to one another to form a closed position in which the upper and lower define a plurality of cake pop-shaped cavities each having a cake receiving portion and a stick receiving portion. Each cake receiving portion of the lower has a base having a first exterior surface defining a first plane lying parallel to a sheet portion of the lower and a second exterior surface contoured inward and having a shape to match an exterior surface of the cake-receiving portion of the upper.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for robotic aquaculture are described. In one embodiment, for example, a mariculture system may include an aquatic animal containment system operative to hold a population of aquatic animals, the aquatic animal containment system comprising an enclosed hull having a receptacle configured to receive a mechanical core, the mechanical core configured to store at least one sub-system to implement at least one function of mariculture system, and a position management system operative to maintain the enclosed hull at a depth below a surface of a body of water. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A lightning protection device for an antenna receiver includes a shield for a coaxial cable connected to the antenna, and a high-pass filter mounted in series relative to the shield and capable of limiting the low-frequency power flowing in the coaxial cable, including a capacitor and an inductor lower than 1 ohm at the lowest frequency used by the receiver, the capacitor including at least one layer of a conductive material embedded in a printed circuit. The capacitor may be made of a printed circuit including at least two floor plans, each of which is connected to the ground of a connector of the coaxial cable. The printed circuit may include at least one layer of a highly pervious material sandwiched between two layers of a conductive material.

Abstract: An EMC filtering device comprises a printed circuit comprising at least two parallel layers of a high-permittivity material, which are positioned between two layers of an insulating material that are parallel to one another and to the high-permittivity material layers. A core made of a magnetic material comprises three cylindrical arms passing perpendicularly through the high-permittivity and insulating material layers. At least two windings winding around the first arm of the magnetic material core, the windings and the first arm forming a first coil. At least two windings winding around the second arm of the magnetic material core, the windings and the second arm forming a second coil. The two coils being coupled coils.

Abstract: A lightning protection device (25) for an antenna receiver, includes a shield (40, 70) for a coaxial cable (35, 65) connected to the antenna, and a high-pass filter mounted in series relative to the shield and capable of limiting the low-frequency power flowing in the coaxial cable, including a capacitor (30, 50, 55) and an inductor lower than 1 ohm at the lowest frequency used by the receiver, the capacitor including at least one layer of a conductive material embedded in a printed circuit. In some embodiments, the capacitor is made of a printed circuit (30) including at least two floor plans (50, 55), each of which is connected to the ground of a connector (80, 85) of the coaxial cable. The printed circuit may e.g. include at least one layer of a highly pervious material sandwiched between two layers of a conductive material.

Abstract: A database warehouse includes a database having data arranged in data tables, e.g., fact tables and reference tables. A warehouse database hub interface is connected to the database. The warehouse database hub interface presents to a user a schema of the data in the database warehouse. The schema consists of virtual tables. Arrangement of the data in the virtual tables is different than arrangement of data in the fact tables and the reference tables. A user generates queries based on the schema provided by the warehouse database hub interface. In response to a such a query for particular information stored in the database warehouse, the warehouse database hub interface modifies the query to take into account pre-computed values and the arrangement of the data within the database warehouse. Then the warehouse database hub interface queries the database warehouse using the modified query to obtain the particular information from the database warehouse.
