Abstract: A lightweight and extensible information model for machine-to-machine systems is disclosed. A service layer information management architecture uses three categories of atomic objects, subjects, actions, and descriptions. Information for use within the model is built using the atomic information objects. Application programming interfaces are used to perform operations and information processing by different nodes. Common service functions are used in the model as instances of a generic common service information model.

The device includes a plurality of resistors that each includes the same DFL structure. Adjacent the DFL structure is a magnetic structure that can include a permanent magnet, an antiferromagnetic (AFM) layer having a synthetic AFM (SAF) structure thereon, a permanent magnetic having a SAF structure thereon, or an AFM layer having a ferromagnetic layer thereon. The DFL structures are aligned with different layers of the magnetic structures to differentiate the resistors. The different alignment and/or different magnetic structures result in a decrease in production time due to reduced complexity and, thus, reduces costs.

Abstract: During operation, a bladed rotor disk typically experiences out-of-plane vibration which can result in deterioration and/or cracking at the interface between adjacent shrouds of the turbine blades. In an embodiment, slots are formed at the end of a labyrinth seal segment of each shroud. Preloaded spring strips are inserted through the slots to couple adjacent shrouds while preventing the natural frequency of the turbine blades from drifting to the operating speed range and/or providing vibration damping to the untuned blade mode.

Abstract: The CoAP base protocol can be enhanced to support CoAP streaming. Streaming can use a reserved “/streaming” URI and current CoAP methods can be used towards the “/streaming” location, which will trigger or terminate streaming operations. Streaming can use a new STREAM method. Alternately, the current Observe mechanism can be enhanced to support streaming. Streaming operation can be combined with existing CoAP block transfer operations.

Abstract: A method for operating an IGBT includes determining a maximum stationary reverse bias required for operation of the IGBT, determining a first removal charge, the removal of which at the gate of the IGBT causes an electric field strength that enables the IGBT to accept the maximum stationary reverse bias during stationary blocking, determining a second removal charge, the removal of which at the gate causes an electric field strength that leads to a dynamic avalanche, and, when the IGBT is switched off, removing from the gate during a charge removal duration a removal charge that is greater than the first removal charge and smaller than the second removal charge.

Abstract: A position and an orientation of a user in a virtual 3D scene is determined (22), an action is executed (24) in the virtual 3D scene for the user in function of the position and orientation of the user with respect to a given place, and a result of the action is outputted (25). For at least one event in the scene consisting in a presence of at least one determined virtual content, metadata linking the event(s) and at least one place of the event(s) are obtained (21). A given event and the given place linked by those metadata are determined (241), in function of the above position and orientation and of a relationship between that event and a user profile of the user. The action regarding the determined given event and place is executed.
