Abstract: A method for manufacturing a spark plug. The method includes: furnishing an insulator; introducing into the insulator a material mixture that is configured to constitute a resistor paste, the material mixture containing ZrO2 and SiO2; heating the insulator and the material mixture present therein to a temperature T of at least 870° C., so that ZrO2 and SiO2 in the material mixture react at least partly to ZrSiO4.

Abstract: A low-power consumption, talk-through system comprising: a headset worn by a user on his head, the headset further comprising: an array of at least 2 sets of 2 ambient sound microphones, each set positionable on each side of the head; a signal processing subsystem adapted to process respective electrical signals from the microphones and to provide respective outputs having acoustical source distance and intensity information; at least 4 acoustical output devices connectable to the signal processing subsystem, the respective acoustical output devices driven by the respective outputs of signal processing subsystem; and no on-board power source, wherein the user is provided with enhanced situational awareness and near human sound localization by the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically allocating and routing resource in a wireless communication system. The system includes at least one scheduled resource, a first terminal having a resource requirement and configured to acquire an alternate resource in response to an out-of-band signal, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine the alternate resource from the scheduled resource, schedule the alternate resource for the first terminal based on the resource requirement, and direct the first terminal to a set of frequencies of the alternate resource via the out-of-band signal The method includes determining an alternate resource in the wireless communication system from scheduled resource uses, scheduling the alternate resource for a terminal based on a scheduled resource use of the terminal, and directing the terminal to acquire the alternate resource at a set of frequencies of the alternate resource.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of defining a set of annotation elements to map a concept to electronic data as input data; generating a mapping rule, according to the set of annotation elements defined and a sample of the input data; mapping the concept to the input data by applying the mapping rule to the input data; and generating a semantic instance of the input data based upon the mapping of the concept to the input data. The set of annotation elements to map the concept to the input data are a selected ontology corresponding to the input data, a selected ontology concept from the selected ontology, a mapping of a word or word phrase in the sample input data to the selected ontology concept from the selected ontology, and a pattern of the mapped word or word phrase relative to a structure of the sample input data.
