Abstract: A heat exchanger device provides refrigeration in refrigerated vehicles operated by liquefied natural gas (LNG) which must first be regasified. The great temperature difference between heat-discharging cooling chamber air and heat-absorbing LNG evaporating at up to ?161° C. conducts the heat flow via an introduced intermediate medium circulating in a closed circuit to avert the risk of combustible natural gas leaking. The intermediate medium is non-combustible, environmentally-benign liquid heat exchange media having low viscosity. The liquid heat exchange media operating temperature is kept above ?85° C. using an additional thermal resistance in the heat exchanger which evaporates the LNG, so that the heat flow flows with sufficient temperature drop. A thin protective dry gas layer formed using sheathing tubes enclosing a tubular heat exchanger's tubes coaxially serves as this thermal resistance. Possibly escaping natural gas is determined by monitoring pressure in the layer, and the LNG supply interrupted.

Abstract: Systems for managing user-level security in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is configured to interface with storage devices that store objects that are accessible over a network by two or more users. An enterprise entity is identified using an enterprise identifier associated with the enterprise, and an application service is associated with an application identifier. An application service request comprising a user identifier and the application identifier is received, and authentication is determined based on the combination of the user identifier and a pre-authenticated application identifier. Once the application service request is authenticated, then specific aspects of the service request are authorized. The integrity of the application identifier is confirmed by locating a secure association of the given application identifier to a pre-shared enterprise identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heating device, in particular for mobile use, comprising a combustion chamber for reacting fuel with combustion air in order to release heat, a heat exchanger for transferring at least part of the released heat to a heating medium to be heated, a fuel conveying device for supplying fuel to the combustion chamber, a combustion air fan for supplying combustion air to the combustion chamber, a heating medium fan for supplying the heating medium to the heat exchanger, a common drive for the combustion air fan and the heating medium fan, at least one sensor for monitoring the mass flow of the heating medium, and a controller, which controls the fuel conveying device and the common drive. The controller is designed to change the ratio of the amount of the heating medium and the amount of the fuel supplied to the combustion chamber according to the mass flow of the heating medium.

Abstract: Denial-of-service attacks are prevented or mitigated in a cloud compute environment, such as a multi-tenant, collaborative SaaS system. This is achieved by providing a mechanism by which characterization of “legitimate” behavior is defined for accessor classes, preferably along with actions to be taken in the event an accessor exceeds those limits. A set of accessor “usage profiles” are generated. Typically, a profile comprises information, such as a “request time window,” one or more “constraints,” and one or more “actions.” A request time window defines a time period over which request usage is accumulated and over which constraints are applied. A constraint may be of various types (e.g., number of transactions, defined resource usage limits, etc.) to be applied for the usage monitoring An action defines how the system will respond if a particular constraint is triggered. By applying the constraints to accessor requests, over-utilization of compute resources is enabled.

Abstract: Denial-of-service attacks are prevented or mitigated in a cloud compute environment, such as a multi-tenant, collaborative SaaS system. This is achieved by providing a mechanism by which characterization of “legitimate” behavior is defined for tenant applications or application classes, preferably along with actions to be taken in the event a request to execute an application is anticipated to exceed defined workflow limits. A set of application profiles are generated. Typically, a profile comprises information, such as a request defined by one or more request variables, one or more “constraints,” one or more “request mappings,” and one or more “actions.” A constraint is a maximum permitted workload for the application. A request mapping maps a request variable to the constraint, either directly or indirectly. The profile information defines how a request is mapped to a workload to determine whether the request is in policy or, if not, what action to take.

Abstract: A signal processing method and system are provided for delivering spatialized sound using highly optimized inverse filters to deliver narrow localized beams of sound from the included speaker array. The inventive method can be used to provide private listening areas in a public space and provide spatialization of source material for individual users to create a virtual 3D audio effect. In a binaural mode, a speaker array provides two targeted beams aimed towards the primary user's ears—one discrete beam for the left ear and one discrete beam for the right ear.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring the differential pressure in a flowing fluid. The invention has a housing having two coaxial openings and an inner space. The inner space can be accessed by at least one of the openings. A measuring nozzle is arranged in the housing and has a flow channel with a cross-sectional constriction, and a differential pressure sensor comprising two measuring inlets for sensing a difference between pressures at the measuring inlets. A first one of the measuring inlets is in connection with the flow channel. A second one of the measuring inlets is in connection outside of the measuring nozzle with the inner space, and with a shut-off body. The shut-off body includes the measuring nozzle and is rotatably mounted in the housing about a rotation axis. The shut-off body, in a first rotational angle position, connects the flow channel to the two openings, and in a second rotational angle position blocks a flow between the two openings.
