A vessel having at least one hull, a body and a suspension system for supporting at least a portion of the body above the at least one hull is described. The suspension system includes at least one support means, and the vessel further includes at least one gyroscopic stabilizer for attenuating rotation of the body about at least one stabilizing axis.

This document describes techniques and apparatuses including a solder joint damage-prevention mode for a computing device. In general, the computing device may enter the solder joint damage-prevention mode to transfer heat to solder joints and prevent failure mechanisms such as fracture, creep, and/or fatigue. The solder joint damage-prevention mode may rely upon one or more operations, including identifying a state of the computing device in or following which damage to the solder joints has an increased likelihood and, in response, activating a thermal-conditioning system. The thermal-conditioning system may, in general, increase a temperature of the solder joints to improve mechanical robustness of the solder joints.

An instrument for determining the spreading capacity of a coating or a surface, including a plate on which a gripping system is secured, the tool including a measuring system configured to measure the coating to be spread, wherein the measuring system includes at least one force sensor for generating data relating to the average force applied on the instrument, the maximum force applied on the instrument and the duration, in order to provide a signal representative of the capacity of the coating to be spread or the surface to be spread.

A lane keeping system for a vehicle includes a first roll angle sensor configured to provide a first signal indicative of dynamic vehicle body roll. A second roll angle sensor is configured to provide a second signal indicative of an angle between vehicle sprung and unsprung masses. A lane keeping system (LKS) controller is in communication with the first and second roll angle sensors. The LKS controller is configured to discern a vehicle roll angle in response to the first and second signals based upon effects of a lateral wind force on the vehicle. The LKS controller is configured to produce a correction in response to the determined lateral wind force effects to maintain the vehicle along a desired path.

An aeroplane attitude indicator device includes a mobile rod which includes a first end connected by a link to a support fastened to the aeroplane and a second end to which is connected a moving body, at least one actuator for controlling the motions of the rod, and a system for piloting the at least one actuator as a function of information originating from an attitude detection system of the aeroplane, so as to orient the rod in a vertical direction. The assembly of rod and moving body correspond to a pendulum-like artifact. Also described is an aeroplane cockpit equipped with an attitude indicator device.
