  • Patent number: 11981484
    Abstract: A labelling arrangement for a multi-part container includes a sleeve-shaped cap element having an interlocking structure adapted to be applied to a first part of the container and coupled to the first part by the interlocking structure. The labelling arrangement further includes a sealing label adapted to be attached to a second part of the container by a second label portion and to surround the applied cap element by a first label portion. The labelling arrangement further includes at least one severing region so that, when the container applied with the labelling arrangement is opened, the labelling arrangement is severable in the severing region and at least a part of the cap element is removable together with the first part of the container from the second part of the container.

  • Patent number: 8276147
    Abstract: Shutting down a computer work scheduler. The work scheduler includes a number of virtual processors, each of which is either active or inactive. An active processor executes work, searches for work, or is idle. An inactive has no context running atop it. The method includes determining that all processors controlled by the scheduler are idle. As a result of determining that all controlled by the scheduler are idle, the method proceeds to a first phase of a shutdown operation, which when successful, includes: performing a sweep of all collections searching for any work in the scheduler and determining that no work is found in the scheduler. As a result of determining that no work is found in the scheduler, the method proceeds to a second phase of a shutdown operation, which when successful includes messaging all contexts in the scheduler and telling them to exit.

  • Patent number: 5773795
    Abstract: An electrically heatable warming device for warming up substances contained in a receptacle having a housing whose upper part is constructed as a cup for receiving therein a water bath, the receptacle to be introduced in said water bath. The bottom of the cup is a metallic heating plate and a heating element is at least one PTC resistance element arranged directly below the heating plate. A thermostat switch is provided for controlling the temperature and is connected to a heat-conducting member arranged laterally on the cup wall, the thermostat switch being arranged at a location where it is subjected to the direct influence of the heating element.
