Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, a computerised system, in particular control system is provided, which is configured, from an input vector (In) which represents a discrete number of input variables and from a state vector (Zn) which represents a discrete number of state variables, to determine a new state vector (Zn+1) whose state variables are updated, as well as an output vector (On) which represents a discrete number of output variables, wherein the output variables are provided for controlling at least one appliance and/or for outputting information. The system comprises a plurality of computation units which in parallel determine the new state vector and the output vector from the input vector and the state vector. According to the invention, the system is configured such that at least all news state vectors are exchanged between the computation units after each cycle.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are for monitoring operational activities in networks and detecting potential network intrusions and misuses. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an intrusion detection system can collect logs from an authentication, authorization, and accounting system. The intrusion detection system can extract information from the logs, update intrusion detection information utilized by an intrusion detection rule based upon the information extracted from the logs, update a profile utilized by the intrusion detection rule, compare the profile and the intrusion detection rule against a running state of an on-going session, tag corresponding log entries with a threat score, calculate the threat scores from the corresponding log entries to create an aggregated threat score, and present the aggregated threat score. The intrusion detection system can also present an alarm if the aggregated threat score triggers an alarm condition.

Abstract: An exercise machine may include a frame with foot pedals mounted thereon and a seat having an inflatable bladder whereby the user may undertake a cardiovascular workout and a core workout of abdominal and back muscles.

Abstract: An exercise machine includes a frame with foot pedals mounted thereon and a seat having an inflatable bladder whereby the user may undertake a cardiovascular workout and a core workout of abdominal and back muscles. A sensor may be used to sense the degree of compression of the inflatable bladder when a person sits on the inflatable seat whereby the internal pressure of the bladder may be adjusted accordingly. The frame may have two sections which are detachable so that one of the sections and the inflatable seat serve as a seating assembly when detached.

Abstract: A dispensing gun assembly including a gun body having a handle and a housing attached to the gun body. The housing includes first and second fluid passageways and first and second valve receiving bores. The fluid passageways are segregated from one another within the housing. First and second valves are received in the valve receiving bores. Each valve has open and closed positions and the valves move within the valve receiving bores when changing between the open and closed positions. A trigger member controllably contacts the valves and a nozzle assembly is connected to the housing.

Abstract: A chuck-integrated force-measuring system for determining cutting forces at the cutting tool tip of a rotating tool, for example a drill or milling cutter having at least one measuring sensor, as well as a measured-value processing station. The at least one measuring sensor is designed as a strain sensor which is placeable on a tool holder of a machine tool. A measuring hub assembly is also provided which is insertable as an adapter piece into the chuck of the machine tool and is designed with its own chuck for receiving the tool, the at least one measuring sensor being integrated in the adapter piece.

Abstract: The present invention is an insulated pitched roof system for a sloped deck in which an insulating component is adhered to the sloped deck and the roof tiles are adhered to the insulating component with an adhesive, preferably a polymer adhesive. The insulating component includes a board or sheet material which is adhered to the roof deck. The insulating component is preferably adhered directly to the roof deck with a polymer adhesive. The insulating component preferably includes interlocking sides for forming a water tight connection between adjacently joined insulating components. Additionally, the insulating components include an end lap portion to form an overlapping portion between adjacent rows of insulating components. In a preferred embodiment, the overlapping portion is adhered together to form a unitary insulative and waterproof layer.

Abstract: A process and polymer foam composition for removing hydrocarbon material from wanted material containing water by bringing an isocyanate-containing prepolymer and a gaseous expansion agent, with or without a diluent and/or cell control agent, into contact with the materials, allowing the composition to react with the water to form a flexible foam and removing the polymer foam obtained from the wanted material.
