Abstract: A virtual reality apparatus includes a head mountable display (HMD); a detector to detect a deviation of a current orientation of the HMD from a base orientation of the HMD; and a generator to generate content for presentation to the wearer of the HMD to prompt the wearer of the HMD to turn his head so as to change the orientation of the HMD towards the base orientation.

Abstract: A method of enhancing an open celled foam metal heat exchanger is presented where the structure uses fluid channels that distribute fluid and/or air across a continuous flow field. The heat exchanger not only improves heat transfer properties given a required pressure drop but also takes into consideration the need to manufacture low cost solutions that may be mass produced to meet high capacity throughput requirements for the air and space industries.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing load balancing are provided. Example embodiments provide an Application Workspace System “AWS” which enables users to access remote server-based applications using the same interface that they use to access local applications, without needing to know where the application is being accessed. In one embodiment, a load balancing message bus is provided that performs load balancing and resource discovery within the AWS. For example, the AWS may use a broadcast message-bus based load balancing to determine which servers to use to launch remote application access requests or to perform session management. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve may include a stent having an inflow end, an outflow end, a collapsed condition, and an expanded condition. The prosthetic valve may also include a collapsible and expandable valve assembly disposed within the stent and having a plurality of leaflets. The prosthetic valve and/or stent may include features to anchor the prosthetic valve to a native valve annulus and to seal the prosthetic valve with respect to the native valve annulus, such as planar and/or nonplanar annular sealing members coupled to ends of the stent. The stent may include one or more circumferential rows of anchor members or hooks extending radially outwardly from the stent. These hooks may be configured to extend in a particular direction when the stent is in the collapsed condition to facilitate resheathing of the stent if, upon deployment, a user determines the prosthetic heart valve is not positioned optimally.

Abstract: A controller for determining a displacement of a control stick and an applied pressure on the control stick comprises at least a first control stick, one or more sensors configured to sense a pressure applied to at least one control stick and to generate corresponding pressure information, first circuitry configured to receive displacement information associated with a physical displacement of the control stick, second circuitry configured to receive from one or more of the sensors pressure information associated with the pressure applied to the control stick, and third circuitry configured to determine the displacement of the control stick and the applied pressure on the control stick; wherein at least a first sensor is configured to sense the pressure applied when the physical displacement of the control stick reaches a displacement limit.

Abstract: An underwater explosive container to house explosives and explosive tools for deployment on bottom mines, moored mines, and underwater explosive devices that can be positioned via a remotely operated vehicle or a diver for neutralizing, rendering safe, or detonating the intended target and methods of building and utilizing the underwater explosive container.

Abstract: A processing device receives an event notification indicating a security configuration change of a cloud computing resource associated with a member account. In response, the processing device identifies a security policy associated with an administrative account corresponding to the member account and evaluates the security policy against the security configuration change to determine compliance with the policy. If not in compliance, the processing device generates a change event indicating a repair to the security configuration of the cloud computing resource to bring the security configuration into compliance with the security policy.
