Abstract: A user device for rendering images of a virtual environment includes display. A browser application to establish a connection to a server for receiving streaming image data to render views of a virtual environment as a first layer of a display. Control commands initiated by a user on the user device are transmitted to the server. In response, the user device receives updated streaming image data for updating the displayed first layer. Upon detecting an occurrence of a predetermined event related to the virtual world/control commands, the user device transmits a request with a corresponding event identifier to a content management system (CMS), wherein the browser application and CMS maintain corresponding lists of event identifiers. The CMS then transmits to the user device additional display information external to the virtual environment, which the user device renders as a second partially-transparent layer overlaying the first layer.

Abstract: A distributed security system can include instances of a compute engine that can execute either locally in security agents on client devices or as cloud instances in a security network. Event data can be processed by elements of the distributed security system according to centrally-defined ontological definitions and/or configurations. Bounding managers of local security agents can control how much event data is sent to the security network. A storage engine in the security network can store event data received from client devices, can route event data to other elements of the security network, including cloud instances of the compute engine. An experimentation engine of the security network can also at least temporarily adjust other elements of the distributed security system during experiments or tests.

Abstract: A predictive scent control system and method thereof for dispersing a scent into a passenger compartment of an automotive based upon a feedback system having a decision unit and a set of predefined users' settings. Dispersion of scent or fragrance into the passenger compartment may be based upon prediction user behavioural profile. User behavioural profile may include an average based upon timing of access to vehicle, an average based upon frequency of selection of predefined user settings, and an ambience of the passenger compartment. In another embodiment, the predictive scent control system may be configurable to disperse a pungent scent in the event of unauthorised access to the vehicle. The predictive control system is applicable to vehicles for multiple users or car-sharing.

Abstract: An interchangeable switching module is for an electrical switching apparatus including a first enclosure, separable contacts and an operating mechanism structured to open and close the separable contacts. The interchangeable switching module includes a second enclosure structured to fit within the first enclosure of the electrical switching apparatus; and an interchangeable electrical circuit and/or mechanical mechanism within the second enclosure and being structured to cooperate with switching of the separable contacts.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing metallic or ceramic microparts using a three-dimensional body formed by first and second polymer fractions in a two-component injection molding process, wherein one of the polymer fractions comprises an electrically non-conductive polymer and the second an electrically conductive polymer, the polymer fraction used for the first injection molding step has a higher melting point than the polymer fraction used in the second injection molding step and the metal micropart is formed by galvanic deposition of a metal from an electrolyte and the ceramic micropart is formed by electrophoretic deposition of ceramic material from a ceramic suspension or colloid on the electrically conductive polymer fraction surface of a substrate surface of the interim body.
