Abstract: The present invention relates to novel protease variants exhibiting improved stability and or improved wash performance in liquid detergent. The variants of the invention are suitable for use in e.g. cleaning or detergent compositions, such as laundry detergent compositions and dish wash compositions, including automatic dish wash compositions. The present invention also relates to isolated DNA sequences encoding the variants, expression vectors, host cells, and methods for producing and using the variants of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process suitable for large-scale industrial use for preparing compounds of general formula (I) wherein: R1 denotes a group selected from among methyl, ethyl, propyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, benzyl and —C(Me2)phenyl, each of which is optionally mono-, di- or trisubstituted by hydroxy; and, R2 denotes a group selected from among methyl, ethyl, propyl and benzyl.

Abstract: A method for assigning tasks for processing received from one or several client data processing nodes within a group of at least two server data processing nodes to one of the server data processing nodes, as well as a server data processing system, a client data processing node and a machine-readable storage medium for carrying out this process. A client data processing node that has a task to assign, first selects the server data processing node from the group that is the next server data processing node to be selected based on a predefined cyclical order. If the server data processing node that is selected first denies the processing of the task, the client data processing node randomly selects a different server data processing node for processing the task. Otherwise, the client data processing node assigns the task to the selected server data processing node.

Abstract: A method for assigning tasks for processing received from one or several client data processing nodes (C1 through C5) within a group of at least two server data processing nodes (S1 through S4) to one of the server data processing nodes (S2), as well as a server data processing system, a client data processing node and a machine-readable storage medium for carrying out this process. A client data processing node (C2) that has a task to assign, first selects the server data processing node from the group that is the next server data processing node to be selected based on a predefined cyclical order. If the server data processing node that is selected first denies the processing of the task, the client data processing node randomly selects a different server data processing node for processing the task. Otherwise, the client data processing node assigns the task to the selected server data processing node.

Abstract: Support apparatus for the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine in which three suspension rods pivotably support the pipe at one longitudinal station and two others engage the pipe at a second longitudinal station. An external radial force is applied to the pipe preferably at a suspension rod at the second station. Specific and constant bearing forces determined by the size of the external force occur essentially independently of the temperature of the exhaust pipe and these forces hold the exhaust pipe in a secure state, free of play, without introducing damaging stresses. In addition, the position of the exhaust pipe at a specific temperature can be obtained by suitable selection of the arrangement and length of the suspension rods.
