Abstract: A thermal management system enables fluid coupling of the cooling circuits for the battery and the propeller arrangements. More than one propeller arrangement can be serviced by the same cooling circuit, but distribution of the coolant may be finessed. Optional pathways are provided to use heated coolant for heating (e.g., de-icing, cabin heating, etc.) before cooling the coolant. Fluid coupling of conduits between and/or within the cooling circuits provide redundancy to accommodate various faults and equipment malfunctions.

Abstract: A thermal management system proactively provides cooling to powered components and/or the battery of an aircraft based on expected temperature rises of the components. The thermal management system may monitor maneuver commands input by a pilot and/or may monitor a flight plan including maneuver commands and associated trigger events to determine when to take proactive steps. The thermal management system may adjust a coolant flow rate and/or may adjust a refrigerant flow rate to increase or decrease the level of cooling provided to various components.

Abstract: Techniques for edit experience for transformation of digital content are delivered in a digital medium environment. According to various implementations, an image editor system receives edits to a digital image to transform the digital image and generate an edited image. An edit experience is then generated that is presentable to recreate the image transformation process. The image editor system outputs the edit experience to enable a user to interact with the edit experience to reproduce the image transformation, such as via a step-by-step process. In at least some implementations, edits to a particular digital image are saved as presets that can be suggested for editing other images, such as images that are determined to be similar to an edited image.

Abstract: Certain embodiments employ an “out-of-band” mechanism to remove the physical controls for activating input peripherals from a portable device operating system and instead controlled by a separate peripheral control domain, isolated from the operating system domain by a machine virtualization/isolation technology. No additional hardware may be required. An adjunct I/O virtualization mechanism may also be included to abstract the guarded input peripheral interfaces, such that all attempts to turn them on from within the operating system are automatically redirected by the I/O virtualization mechanism to the peripheral control domain. The peripheral control domain may then conduct a policy-driven decision process to either allow, disallow, or request manual/explicit authorization of an access attempts. Physical access may be performed within the peripheral control domain.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, virtualization mechanisms used to defend against spying can also be used by attackers as a means to execute spying attacks more effectively. In certain embodiments, attack methods may use the virtualization mechanisms to surreptitiously activate input peripherals without the user's knowledge or authorization. In certain embodiments, a virtualized network interface may be employed in which all network traffic transiting a portable wireless system is routed through a remote control component within a peripheral control domain. The remote control component may be used by an attacker to communicate remotely with the portable device to send it peripheral activation commands. The remote control component can then activate peripherals via the peripheral access module without the user's or general-purpose operating system's knowledge or authorization. All other network traffic may be passed through as normal and expected to the general-purpose operating system.

Abstract: A system and method for processing solid waste disposal includes a hydrolyzer (80) and an injection assembly (30) for transferring waste to the hydrolyzer (80). The injection assembly (30) includes a sleeve (40), in which waste is compressed with a ram (37), and a movable gate (52), which opens to allow the compressed waste (68) to exit the sleeve (40) and enter the hydrolyzer (80). The hydrolyzer (80) includes a pressure vessel (84), a rotating shaft (108) contained within the vessel (84), and agitates attached to the shaft for moving and processing the material through the hydrolyzer (80).

Abstract: A conduit assembly, such as an electrical conduit assembly, includes a flexible convoluted tube having a non-conductive fluoropolymer interior and a conductive carbon exterior that decreases the electrical resistance of the tube. A fitting is secured to an end of the flexible convoluted tube. The fitting includes a nipple having a profiled tubular portion received into the end of the flexible convoluted tube and a socket secured to the fitting so as trap the end of the flexible convoluted tube between the nipple and the socket. At least one of the nipple and the socket are made from a metal treated to decrease the electrical resistance of the fitting.

Abstract: A system for processing waste on a continuous basis comprises an infeed assembly, a vessel held at a non-ambient pressure and/or temperature, and an outfeed assembly. The infeed assembly includes: a sleeve where waste is delivered; a gate construction that moves between an open and a closed position; and a ram that moves within the sleeve to compress waste when the gate construction is in the closed position and to push the compressed waste into the vessel, where it is metamorphically processed, when the gate construction is in the open position. The processed material moves from the vessel to the outfeed assembly, which includes a compaction chamber, a ram that moves within the compaction chamber, and a cutter assembly. Waste is compacted in the compaction chamber by the ram, cut by the cutter assembly, and delivered as a compacted block to an environment having an ambient pressure and/or temperature.
