Abstract: Convertible furniture includes a first arm, a first seat, and a base. The first seat is adjacent the first arm and includes a head panel, a mid-panel, and a foot panel. The first seat has a seat configuration in which the head panel is in a vertical orientation. The first seat has a bed configuration in which the head panel, the mid-panel, and the foot panel are each in a horizontal orientation with a top surface of each cooperating to form a flat surface. The base has a side rail that is secured to the first arm and a center support parallel to and spaced apart from the first arm. The head panel of the first seat at least partially supported by the side rail and the center support in the deployed position thereof when the first seat is in the bed configuration.

Abstract: A motion seat is described that includes a chassis, a seat frame, a seat cushion, a backrest, and a resilient hinge. The seat frame is attached to the chassis and the seat cushion and the backrest are each attached to the seat frame. The resilient hinge formed as a unitary body and may be formed from a resilient polymer. The seat cushion and/or the backrest is pivotably attached to the seat frame with the resilient hinge.

Abstract: Processes for manufacturing a purified aromatic carboxylic acid include contacting crude aromatic carboxylic acid with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in a hydrogenation reactor to form a purified aromatic carboxylic acid; separating vapor effluent from the purified aromatic carboxylic acid; scrubbing the vapor effluent to form a scrubber effluent; treating the scrubber effluent vapor to form a gaseous treated scrubber effluent and a liquid treated scrubber effluent; and removing at least a portion of organic impurities from the liquid treated scrubber effluent.

Abstract: A process for the separation of the components of a solid/liquid mixture. The process Includes the use of a rotary pressure filter apparatus having improved capacity.

Abstract: A user input is received for accessing a page in an application. Page display element metadata is retrieved that defines how the display elements are related to other objects in the application. It is determined whether the user has license rights and user permissions to access the information represented by the related objects. If not, the display elements are removed, hidden or disabled and a remainder of the page is rendered.

Abstract: A housing assembly for a hearing device. The housing assembly includes a connection area within which connection area a connection mechanism for an associated lid is provided, the connection area further comprising one or more sound inlet openings being configured to be acoustically connected to one or more microphones of the housing assembly. A hearing device including such a housing assembly is also contemplated.

Abstract: A method for forming an aromatic diacid and/or an aromatic diacid precursor from a polyester-containing feedstock. The method comprises contacting the polyester-containing feedstock with water or an alcohol to depolymerize the polyester and thereby form an aromatic diacid and/or an aromatic diacid precursor, wherein the polyester-containing feedstock comprises about 80 wt % or more polyester and about 1 wt % or more of at least one secondary material, and wherein the at least one secondary material is not polyester.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for administering muscle relaxant to a patient. The system includes an infusion pump adapted for delivering said muscle relaxant to a patient, and a controller adapted for controlling the operation of said infusion pump on the basis of at least one received input value. Further the system includes measuring means adapted for continuously measuring the effect of said muscle relaxant on the patient and adapted for supplying a value representing said measured effect as said input value to said controller. According to the invention, on basis of said at least one input value, said controller is adapted for selecting a control value from a set of predetermined control values as the value to be used for controlling said infusion pump. The invention also relates to a method of administering muscle relaxant to a patient and to a testing apparatus adapted to be used for testing the automatic operation of a system for administration of muscle relaxant to a patient.

Abstract: In an internal-combustion engine having an exhaust-gas driven supercharger (8) and having at least two exhaust-gas valves (2, 3) per cylinder, a first exhaust-gas valve (2) in each cylinder is connected to a first exhaust manifold (4), whilst a second exhaust-gas valve (3) in each cylinder is connected to a second exhaust manifold (5). The two exhaust manifolds (4, 5) lead to at least one exhaust-gas turbine in at least one turbo compressor and the first exhaust-gas valves (2) are arranged to be opened at all engine speeds, whilst the second exhaust-gas valves (3) are arranged to be opened only at higher engine speeds. The first exhaust manifold (4) has a smaller flow area than the second exhaust manifold (5). By choosing which exhaust-gas valves are to be used, the size of the flow ducts between engine and exhaust-gas turbine can easily be suited to the size of the exhaust-gas flow which is available at the time.
