Provided is a circuit protection device including: a plate-shaped thermistor element comprising a first electrode and a second electrode; a first heat-dissipating terminal connected to the first electrode; a second heat-dissipating terminal connected to the second electrode; and a housing protecting the thermistor element, the first heat-dissipating terminal and the second heat-dissipating terminal. According to the present disclosure, the circuit protection device having a surface mount device (SMD) structure may be applied to a slim wall-mounted television.

It is disclosed a visible light communication system that includes a plurality of emitter units (2), such as LEDs, installed within a communication environment, each capable of emitting data-encoded visible light signals to be received by at least a legitimate receiver unit (3). At least a controller unit (1) is configured to coordinate the operation of the emitter units (2), managing power levels and timing of signals to be transmitted by each emitter unit (2), in order to optimize the data transmission and security.

It is disclosed a method for enhancing security in visible light communication system, by employing constellation decomposition to provide physical layer security. By decomposing and transmitting signal constellations across multiple emitter units (2), that is, across multiple light sources, whose relative positions to a legitimate receiver unit (3) are known, the power and phase delay of each signal constellation are adjusted by a controller unit (1) to ensure that only legitimate receivers (3) are able to accurately reconstruct the transmitted data, thus preventing potential eavesdroppers.

It is an object of the present disclosure a method for generating a cybersecurity test recommendation. Central to the realisation of the test recommendation is the use of a knowledge base model (2) and an inference engine (3) to provide personalised cybersecurity test recommendations (c) to a system (1), based on system (a) and test parameters, in a more accurate and efficient way.

The present invention relates to foldable cardboard packages, in particular to a single piece cardboard package with adjustable capacity and improved reusability. The object of this invention is a single-piece cardboard package (100) comprising a storage compartment and a lid, wherein the storage compartment includes two squared zones (30), each one delimited at the top by the upper edge of the respective wall panels and at the bottom by a horizontal crease (15), and include diagonal creases (16) that enable the folding of the front two corners of the storage compartment associated with the squared zones (30) to fold the upper edges of the storage compartment, thus decreasing the maximum capacity of the cardboard package.The proposed invention aims to provide a single-piece cardboard package that allows the adjustment of the storage capacity and allows repeated use without compromising the structural integrity and proper sealing of the storage goods.

It is disclosed a support (9) for loading and transporting reinforcing mesh panels (11). The support (9) is formed by a frame member with a rectangular body, and comprises a plurality of lashing hooks adapted to support reinforcing mesh panels (11) by means of lashing straps (10), in order to define a load section beneath the frame member. The multiple lashing hooks, arranged along the frame member of the support (9), ensure that the connection to the panels (11) is made at different points along their area, which restricts their oscillating movement during transport. Additionally, the support (9) is provided with forklift pockets (4.2) adapted to receive the forks (12) of a forklift vehicle (13), which will transport the mesh panels (11).

The present disclosure falls within the technical scope of chemical samples obtained synthetically, the present disclosure having the purpose of preparing contaminated waters, more particularly, substances prepared together and suitable for the contamination of a volume of water, with a view to its subsequent treatment in a miniaturised water treatment system. This disclosure includes obtaining and treating synthetically contaminated waters, using different chemical reagents in order to control the preparation of contaminated waters that resemble contaminated natural or waste water in a real context and which may be treated by chemical and mechanical processes, for example in miniaturised treatment plants. The present disclosure comprises a process for preparing a contaminated water sample and subsequently treating said contaminated water. It also includes the use of a kit to prepare a sample of contaminated water for subsequent treatment.

The present disclosure relates to polymeric fibers comprising metal-organic frameworks and use thereof in CO₂ capture. The present disclosure provides a composite comprising polymer fibers comprising a matrix, wherein from 10% to 30% weight per weight (w/w) of said matrix comprises Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) particles incorporated therein, said MOF being Cu-MOF-74, NH₂-MIL-101, Co-MOF-74, or HKUST-1, said composite having a surface area (BET) from 400 to 600 m² g^-1. The size of MOF particles is within the nanometer-to-micrometer scale, thus retaining a high surface area and a porous structure. The MOF particles are uniformly distributed a polymeric fiber matrix within the composite material, resulting in an ideal uniform porous structure for the capture and storage of gases, such as CO₂. The present disclosure also relates to a filter and system comprising said composite, as well as a method to obtain said composite and use thereof.

It is described a transformer-based text-to-speech system for neural speech synthesis, which is built upon a transformer-based architecture. Compared to a conventional TSS transformer architecture, the system includes a convolutional encoder-decoder submodule (2.1) in order to generate compressed acoustic representations, C, from an audio prompt A, which allows to achieve an improved performance in what concerns the quality of the synthesized speech, W, since more precise representation of the voice signal to be cloned is captured.
