Abstract: Risk assessment for a computing system being developed can include receiving a user input specifying a proposed topology for a computing system. The proposed topology is defined by a first software product to be used and an architecture having a first non-functional component. A problem knowledge repository is searched using a processor for records of problems correlated with the proposed topology. A level of risk in implementing the computing system using the proposed topology is calculated according to the searching using the processor.

Abstract: A brake power measuring device (100) for use with a vehicle having a braking system. The device has a housing attachable to, or attached to, a brake disc, or to a frame near a brake caliper of the braking system. The housing houses one or more force sensing elements (220) for measuring a force experienced by the brake disc or frame during braking.

Abstract: A bicycle sensor device of the type not having Internet accessibility and comprising at least one sensor element adapted for registering data regarding the bicycle, a data storage unit adapted for storing registered data regarding the bicycle, a processor element adapted for generating an output of the sensor device, and a transmitter element adapted for transmitting by short range communication an output of the sensor device to an external device being adapted for displaying the output of the sensor device to a user. The processor element is configured to cause the transmitter element to transmit the output of the sensor device to an external device in one of a first mode, a second mode and a third mode. The first mode is a normal operation mode, the second mode is a service request mode, and the third mode is a data transfer mode.

Abstract: A portion of text associated with a message intended for a group of recipients is encrypted at a computing device. The portion of text may include less than an entirety of the message. Access to the portion of text may be restricted for a first subset of the group of recipients and allowed for a second subset of the group of recipients.

Abstract: An optimal bicycle frame size and configuration is determined based on operational characteristics provided by a rider when riding an adjustable stationary bicycle. An optimal motorcycle and motorcycle configuration is determined based on characteristics of the rider when riding an adjustable stationary motorcycle. A camera system can be used to collect anthropomorphic data about the rider to establish an initial positioning of the components of the adjustable vehicle. The camera system can also be used to collect real-time information about the rider's body positioning so as to cause adjustment of the positioning of the components of the adjustable vehicle.

Abstract: A bicycle is provided having a unitary steering tube-crown member and a unitary crank arm-spindle member. A multistage aluminum 3D forging process is used to form the unitary members. This may allow the fabrication of components with substantially hollow interior areas to reduce weight, reduce part count while maintaining high strength and ductility. The multistage 3D forging process provided also allows the combination of multiple components into a single unitary part.

Abstract: A skateboard with two wheels (11), said skateboard having a front plate (15) and a rear plate (16) which are connected with each other by a spring element (3), which is secured to a rod (1 and 2) at both ends of the spring element (3). The two wheels (11), the front plate (15) and the rear plate (16) are secured inclined (4) to the rod (8, 11) by means of screw connections (4, 12) to form an angle relative to the upper sides of the plates (15 and 16). In this manner, the front plate (15) and the rear plate (16) are protected against breaks, as the wheels (11) are not secured directly to the front plate (15) and the rear plate (16), but to the rods (1 and 2) with the spring element (13).
