Abstract: A connector comprising a carriage, an adjustment element, and a base configured to be rigidly attached to a drawer, the carriage is slidably attached to the base, and movement of the adjustment element causes the carriage to slide relative to the base. Also, such a connector further comprising: an engagement element configured to releasably engage a drawer movement guide assembly and attached to the carriage, and/or a wedge element linearly slidable relative to the carriage and configured to cause a change in a spacing between a drawer movement guide assembly and a drawer. Also, a connector comprising an engagement element that is separate from and pivotally attached to a connector assembly, that is configured to be rigidly attached to a drawer, and that is configured to releasably engage a drawer movement guide assembly. Also, systems comprising a connector together with a drawer, a cabinet and/or a drawer guide.

Abstract: A procedure is provided for evaluating the score, snap and edge appearance of wallboard panels, and includes scoring a wallboard panel with a knife at a constant and known force using a benchtop board scoring device; snapping the scored panel in a Universal Board Testing Machine to measure the breaking force, forming a snapped panel edge; measuring a cleanliness of the snapped panel edge by placing a straight edge against the snapped panel edge and measuring gaps between the snapped panel edge and the straight edge in a plurality of locations on a face of the panel, and a plurality of locations on a back of the panel; and averaging all of the measured gaps to create an Index Score.

Abstract: A device for connecting a movable sliding element to a guide rail of a guide system of an item of furniture having adjustment means comprising latching means, an operating element, and a height adjustment element. The latching means have latching teeth and a latching member. The latching teeth are disposed along a shell face. The latching member is connected to the operating element and the latching member latches with the latching teeth. The height adjustment element is configured in the manner of a disk and the height adjustment element is present so as to be pivotable. The operating element is connected to the height adjustment element. The device in the disposed state connects the sliding element to the guide rail in such a manner that a positional modification of the height adjustment element causes a positional modification of the sliding element relative to the guide system.

Abstract: A device for releasably connecting a furniture drawer to a guidance unit that movably guides the drawer in a furniture body of an item of furniture comprises a base portion; and a displacement device arranged on the base portion and comprising a plurality of components moveable relative to each other, the displacement device enabling a position of the furniture pull-out to be adjusted in at least one spatial direction relative to the guidance unit, wherein the components of the displacement device are arranged as a preassembled subassembly that is releasably securable to the base portion at a securing interface.

Abstract: A process is provided, comprising: (a) supplying ammonium-containing wastewater to a reactor containing granular sludge comprising granules having a core of anammox bacteria and an outer rim of ammonia oxidizing bacteria; (b) subjecting the wastewater to ammonium oxidation at a temperature between 5 to 25° C., a dissolved oxygen concentration between 0.4 mg/L to 4.0 mg/L, and a hydraulic retention time between 0.5 hours to 1.5 days, obtaining a nitrogen gaseous stream and a dispersion of granular and non-sludge in treated wastewater; and (c) separating the dispersion into a granular sludge stream and a stream of treated wastewater and non-granular sludge, and (d) recycling the granular sludge to the reactor while discharging the non-granular sludge, wherein the granular sludge has a reactor retention time at least ten times the hydraulic retention time, and wherein the retention time of non-granular sludge is no more than three times the hydraulic retention time.

Abstract: There is provided a trim profile covering fixture with at least one side covering element with a longitudinal axis, for a trim profile of a movable furniture component, in particular a drawer, wherein the side covering element has at least one mounting projection which may be inserted into an assigned mounting location on the trim profile and is held there in the inserted state, wherein the mounting projection has at least one clamping jaw which may be braced by an inner surface of the mounting location.

Abstract: A device for releasably connecting a furniture pull-out to a guidance unit that movably guides the pull-out in a furniture body comprises: a base part; and an adjuster arranged on the base part and comprising a plurality of components movable in relation to one another, the adjuster enabling a position of the furniture pull-out to be set in at least one spatial direction relative to the guidance unit, the adjuster including a spring-loaded contact pressure mechanism configured to press the guidance unit against the device in a fitted and working condition.

Abstract: A setting device for a latching arrangement for setting a movable furniture part which is received in a furniture body, the setting device comprising a receptacle, a spring member and an operating lever, it being possible for the setting device to be mounted on a holding member of the latching arrangement such that it can be pivoted via the receptacle, and a latching element being configured on the spring member. The invention is distinguished by the fact that the shape of the spring member, and therefore the position of the latching element, can be varied by means of the operating lever, without interaction with a further element.
