Abstract: Two mattresses, of a same a different depth, share a same length and width. Each is in a shape of a rectangular prism and when placed one on top of the other, a larger rectangular prism is created. In order to hold the two mattresses in place when used together, a connector or connectors emanating from the sides or corners of each mattress are used. Such connectors can include hoop and loop fasteners, rings, hooks, lengths of fabric, and any combination thereof which hold the mattresses together in a taut manner.

Abstract: There is provided a flywheel apparatus comprising a plurality of flywheels configured to be mounted on a rotating shaft having a longitudinal axis, each one of the flywheels having a mass concentration in a predefined zone within its surface such that the net torque required for maintaining the rotation of the flywheels when combined with a constant angular velocity about the longitudinal axis of the rotating shaft is null. There is also provided use of a flywheel apparatus with an electrical energy generation system.

Abstract: There is provided a closed-loop electrical energy regenerative system comprising (i) a regenerative electric motor for receiving a load of electrical energy for the purpose of conversion into kinetic energy; (ii) an alternator for generating an output load of electrical energy; (iii) a rotating shaft and at least one flywheel, the rotating shaft being configured to be connected to the regenerative electric motor, to the alternator and to the at least one flywheel for transferring a first portion of the kinetic energy from the regenerative electric motor to the alternator for the purpose of generating the output load of electrical energy and for transferring a second portion of the kinetic energy to the at least one flywheel for storage for the purpose of assisting in rotating the rotating shaft through subsequent cycles; (iv) a first electrical output for directing a first portion of the output load of electrical energy outside the system for consumption by an electric power system; and a second electrical ou

Abstract: A system configured to facilitate selling hybrid cloud services comprises a plurality of user interface structures each coupled to an information processor. A first user interface structure is configured to request information characterizing deployment of an application within a current operational infrastructure. A second user interface structure is configured to display a recommended deployment infrastructure supporting migration of the application thereto. A third user interface structure is configured to display information characterizing migration of the application to the recommended deployment infrastructure.

Abstract: A system has a plurality of interconnected platform engine portions for providing cloud service brokerage functionalities. A first platform engine portion enables selection of cloud service offerings available from one or more cloud service providers through assessment of cloud service criteria. A second platform engine portion enables demand for cloud services to be modeled using selected ones of the cloud service offerings. A third second platform engine portion enables virtual data centers (VDCs) to be instantiated by provisioning resources of the selected ones of the cloud service offerings.
