Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to in-vehicle entertainment systems and methods. An example method executed by processor of a vehicle may include displaying an iconic representation containing a first icon representing a musical instrument and a second icon representing a vehicle component. The processor may detect an assigning of the musical instrument to the vehicle component. The assigning may be carried out, for example, by a driver of the vehicle executing a drag-and-operation to overlap the first icon with second icon. The processor may then detect a physical contact made upon the vehicle component and generate, based on detecting the physical contact, a musical sound corresponding to the musical instrument.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed for running an executable object on an object storage system. An executable object including executable code is stored on a first storage node of an object storage system. The first storage node receives a request to run the executable object. The first storage node identifies the physical location of one or more data objects of interest to be processed by the executable object. The first storage node runs the executable object to process the identified one or more data objects. The first storage node receives a request from a second storage node of the object storage system for the executable object in response to one or more data objects of interest being located at the second storage node. The first storage node sends a copy of the executable object to the second storage node.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a system for assessing chloride concentration at one predetermined area of a porous or composite material, such as a reinforced concrete structure, including a sensor embedded in the predetermined area of the material, an analyzer connected to the sensor, and a processing module connected to the analyzer. The sensor includes two facing or coplanar electrodes, an intermediate layer arranged between the electrodes, the intermediate layer being in contact with the material of the predetermined area of the structure and including calcium aluminates. The analyzer is configured to apply an alternate current between the electrodes and output an impedance value or capacitance value of the intermediate layer. The processing module is configured to compute a chloride concentration assessment in the predetermined area of the material based on the impedance value or capacitance value outputted by the analyser.
