Advantageous underwater acoustic (UWA) apparatus, systems and methods are provided according to the present disclosure. The apparatus, systems and methods employ nonbinary low density parity check (LDPC) codes that achieve excellent performance and match well with the underlying modulation. The nonbinary LDPC codes of the proposed apparatus, systems and methods are formed, at least in part, from a generator matrix that has a high density to reduce the peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) with minimal overhead. The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods employ nonbinary regular LDPC cycle codes if the constellation is large and nonbinary irregular LDPC codes if the constellation is small or moderate. The nonbinary irregular and regular LDPC codes enable: i) parallel processing in linear-time encoding; ii) parallel processing in sequential belief propagation decoding; and iii) considerable resource reduction on the code storage for encoding and decoding.

The invention concerns a method of providing a multi-modal dialog between a multi-modal application (5) and a user (6) communicating with the multi-modal application (5) via a client (4) suited to exchange and present documents (7) encoded in standard or extended hyper text mark-up language. The invention further concerns a proxy-server (2) for executing this method. The multi-modal dialog between the multi-modal application (5) and the user (6) is established through the proxy-server (2) interacting with the client (4) via exchange of information encoded in standard or extended hyper text mark-up language. The proxy-server (2) retrieves at least one additional resource of modality requested within the multi-modal dialog. The proxy-server (2) composes a multi-modal interaction with the user (6) based on standard or extended hyper text mark-up language interactions with the client (6) and on the retrieved additional resources (71, 72, 73, 31, 32, 33).

A dielectric element is formed of a dielectric material exhibiting a magnetic resonance relaxation time, with a relaxation agent incorporated in the dielectric material that reduces the relaxation time of the dielectric material. The dielectric element is adapted for placement on a subject while magnetic resonance data are acquired from the subject, and locally influences the B₁ field distribution in the subject during the acquisition of magnetic resonance data.

Two or more distinct operating systems (OSs) are loaded simultaneously and run on an x86 computer system. Each OS is booted serially and in such a way that the OS resides in a separate memory footprint than the other OSs by partitioning the memory map. The partition of the memory map includes a low memory region, dedicated memory partitions for storing each OS, and dedicated regions for storing shadows of the low memory region and the ACPI for each OS. Switching between the two or more resident OSs is performed by sleeping the current OS and then resuming the desired OS using the shadow previously stored for the desired OS. None of the resident OSs require any modification in order to run in this fashion.

A voltage regulator circuit has a first amplifier stage with input and output terminals, a feedback terminal, a pole-inducing transistor, and a compensating network coupled to the output terminal. A second amplifier stage has an input coupled to the first amplifier output, first and second current mirrors, and a pass transistor.

User-guided machine learning (ML) significantly reduces false alarms generated by an automated analysis tool performing static security analysis. User interactivity involves initial review and annotation of findings (“witnesses”) in a report generated by the analysis tool. Those annotated findings are then used by the system to generate a “hypothesis” about how to further classify the static analysis findings in the report. The hypothesis is implemented as a machine learning classifier. To generate the classifier, a set of features are abstracted from a typical witness, and the system compares feature sets against one another to determine a set of weights for the classifier. The initial hypothesis is then validated against a second set of user-annotated findings, and the classifier is adjusted as necessary based on how close it fits the new data. Once the approach converges on a final classifier, it is used to filter remaining findings in the report.

An improved drum brake assembly for reducing braking vibrations and noise. The improved assembly includes a pair of shoes, each extending through an arc and presenting an outer shoe surface. A pair of brake linings of a friction material are coupled to the outer shoe surface. Each of the brake linings has an upper surface and a pair of oppositely facing chamfered edges. Each chamfered edge has an arc length of no less than one inch and is disposed at an angle of between ten and twenty-five degrees from the tangent of the upper surface where it meets the chamfered edge.

A respiratory medicament and therapy data system capable of using a “breath actuated” monitoring device that monitors patient interactions with all respiratory therapy and drug delivery devices. It generates a signal based on the magnitude, direction and duration of the inhalation and exhalation pressures generated by a patient. This allows the tracking and wireless reporting of the various therapeutic and medicament delivery sessions with respect to such parameters as delivery date, time, duration, total delivered dose and the like. The respiratory medicament and therapy data system provides a fool-proof system for recording and immediately displaying the results of the respiratory therapy or drug delivery that have been algorithmically derived on a localized device and that can be sent to the medical provider's patient treatment database (health portals) for later, remote review by medical personnel.
