Abstract: A method for providing an evaluation and control model for controlling target building automation devices of a target building automation system includes: providing a plurality of pre-trained source evaluation and control models for controlling source building automation devices of a source building automation system; generating for each pre-trained source evaluation and control model a semantic based description of a context in which the model was trained; generating a semantic based description of the context of the target building automation system; retrieving the semantic based description of the context of each pre-trained source evaluation and control model of the plurality of pre-trained source evaluation and control models; and matching the generated semantic based description of the context of the target building automation system and the semantic based description of the context in which the pre-trained source evaluation and control models were trained by using a semantic matchmaking concept.

Abstract: A cable connector housing for hazardous areas includes: a first part; a second part; a first cable gland; and a second cable gland. The first part connects to and separates from the second part. When the first part is connected to the second part a cavity is formed within which a cable connector is housable. The first cable gland connects to the first part. The first cable gland connects to a part of a first cable that is for use in a hazardous area. The second cable gland connects to the second part. The second cable gland connects to part of a second cable that is for use in the hazardous area. The first part, second part, first cable gland, and second cable gland are arranged such that when the first part is connected to the second part, a connector housing is formed that for use in the hazardous area.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for semantic-based planning, engineering, and commissioning a project in a building or home automation system, using multiple technologies/protocols of devices including sensors, actuators and control devices, the method being based on a semantic based model having an automatic configuration generation for specific technologies/protocols from a function-based device specification, the method including the following multiple transformation steps: calculating/creating a configuration for a specific protocol/technology using a mapping complex or structure of rules or processing instructions that takes into account the semantic-based model, technology models, heuristics, and/or technology constraints of the devices; generating an internal model of the building automation system with communication objects as an output of the automatic created configuration calculation; transforming the internal model, depending on a targeted technology/protocol, in order to create either application p

Abstract: A composition containing the probiotic strain Lactobacillus johnsonii CNCM 1-1225 in combination with a polyphenol for use in the treatment or prevention of a cognitive and/or neurodegenerative disorder, in particular Alzheimer's disease. The polyphenol can be one or more of rosmarinic acid, chicoric acid, or caftaric acid, and can be provided in the form of a plant extract.

Abstract: An industrial information identification and retrieval system includes: a crawler; a search engine; a result processor; and a web user interface “web UL” The crawler identifies devices and their associated Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture “OPC UA” servers within a network as identified OPC UA servers. The crawler browses the identified OPC UA servers and extracts and stores data items in a database as extracted data items. The search engine searches the extracted data items and provides search results to the result processor. The result processor determines a score for each search result. The web UI presents the search results according to the scores.

Abstract: A process analyzer adapter includes: a first part connectable to a process analyzer, the first part being rotatable about a first axis; a second part; and a third part. The first part is rotationally connected to the second part. The second part is rotationally connected to the third part. The second part is rotatable about a second axis, rotation of the second part about the second axis tilting the first axis. The third part is connectable to a flange of an industrial process equipment.

Abstract: Compositions and methods use Bifidobacterium longum NCC3001 (ATCC BAA-999) to treat or prevent a depressive symptom. Prolonged anti-depressive effects can continue after administration of the compositions is ended. Non-limiting examples of a depressive symptom which can be treated or prevented include depressed mood; sadness; anxiety; “empty” feelings; loss of interest or pleasure; irritability; restlessness; changes in appetite or weight; sleep disturbances; lack of or decreased energy; feelings of worthlessness; guilt; helplessness; anger and hostility; difficulty in thinking, concentrating, or making decisions; hopelessness; tiredness; fatigue; memory difficulties; tearfulness; brooding; phobias; excessive worry over physical health; sexual dysfunction; persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment; and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A method of attenuating, treating or preventing cognitive aging in an individual who does not have dementia includes administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of a composition containing an omega-3 fatty acid, a nitric oxide releasing compound, and Vitamin B12. The composition is administered in a daily dose that provides 50 to 500 times the recommended daily requirement (RDA) of Vitamin B12 per day, for example about 200 times the RDA of Vitamin B12 per day. Optionally Vitamin B6 and/or Vitamin B9 can be included in the composition. The method can achieve a benefit that is one or more of decreasing brain atrophy, increasing or maintaining number of synapses, increasing amyloid-? phagocytosis, or decreasing or maintaining neuroinflammation in the non-demented individual. The method can prevent dementia in an individual at risk thereof, for example an elderly human.

The composition is administered in a daily dose that provides 0.1 to 50 times the recommended daily requirement (RDA) of Vitamin B12 per day, more preferably 0.1 to 40 times the recommended daily requirement (RDA) of Vitamin B12 per day and 0.01 to 10.0 times the recommended daily requirement (RDA) of choline. Optionally Vitamin B6 and/or Vitamin B9 can be included in the composition. The method can achieve a benefit that is one or more of decreasing brain atrophy, increasing or maintaining number of synapses, increasing amyloid-? phagocytosis, or decreasing or maintaining neuro inflammation in the non-demented individual.

Abstract: The invention relates to a presence status determination system and a computer implemented method to determine the presence status of a first user registered in a network and to communicate this presence status to a second user, who would like to make contact with the first user. An input device for a presence status determination device records a predetermined first presence status component determined by the first user and forwards the first presence status component to the presence status determination device (20). A contact person registration device records the identity of the second user and reports the identity to a relationship determination device. The relationship determination device determines, with the aid of a computer, a second presence status component, which considers the social proximity between the first user and the second user.
