Abstract: Installation for harnessing wave energy, comprising a floating structure (1) that comprises at least one gyroscopic device (5) with a flywheel (6) that can turn by the action of a motor (7) and a generator (10) configured so that when the gyroscopic device (5) is in use, said flywheel (6) is subjected to a pitching torque caused by the motion of the waves that feeds the generator (10), wherein the installation also comprises: means (23, 44) for controlling the motor (7); means (24, 45) for controlling the generator (10); a floating device (25) for capturing data on the waves; means for transmitting the data captured by the data-capturing floating device (25) and for receiving said data in the floating structure (1); a control unit (16) that calculates at least one parameter applicable by the means (23, 44) for controlling the motor (7) and at least one parameter applicable by the means (24, 45) for controlling the generator (10).

Abstract: Device to reduce the lateral force generated by an aerial refueling boom (11) of an aircraft characterized in that it has at least one plate (31), the plate (31) has two cantilevered wings (32, 33), the wings (32, 33) have perforations (34), so that the wake produced in the boom (11) has a lower dynamic pressure than that of the free stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods for purchasing video games access using a mobile communication device are disclosed. The video games can be purchased for a predetermined number of game plays; for a fixed period of time, for example allowing the user to play the game for three days; for a fixed period of time within a longer period, for example, any 3 hour period over the next 3 days. In one embodiment game plays or time can be purchased by sending, and receiving upon request, a mobile communication device message to a predetermined number. In another embodiment a video game can prompt the user to determine if the user would like to purchase more video games plays or time. If the user would like to purchase more video game plays or time a server can send a message to the user's mobile communication device.
