Abstract: A frame construction of a sliding door or a sliding window has a main frame, a displaceable running carriage (4) for holding a displaceable door wing (T) or window sash, holding profiles (5) for holding the door wings (F, T) or window sashes, outer sealing elements (8) which bear in a sliding manner between the holding profiles (5) and an outer region of the main frame, and inner sealing elements (8?) which bear in a sliding manner between the holding profiles (5) and an inner region of the main frame. There is furthermore an insulating body (7) which divides the main frame into an outer and an inner frame part (1, 2) and completely separates these parts from each other. The inner sealing element (8?) bears against the insulating body (7) or against a central frame part (3) of the main frame, the central frame part (3) being completely separated from the first and second frame parts (1, 2).

Abstract: A system having at least one breakpoint generating module and a core processor and method for providing mutual breakpoint capabilities to at least one breakpoint generating module and a core processor in a computing device. Each breakpoint generating module is capable of generating a first breakpoint message for allowing operation of the core processor and each breakpoint generating module to be halted. A second breakpoint message allows operation of the core processor to be halted. The second breakpoint message corresponds to the first breakpoint message. In addition, the core processor generates a third breakpoint message for allowing operation of the core processor and each breakpoint generating module to be halted.

Abstract: A container, such as a standard aircraft unit load device, a truck trailer, a ship's cargo compartment, or the like, is fitted with a blast mitigating material located within the container. The blast mitigating material can be fitted to the container during manufacture, or an existing container can be retrofitted.

Abstract: A multifunctional-type backlight unit, including a light guiding plate having a first incident/exit surface and a second incident/exit surface which are capable of receiving and emitting light, a light emitting device disposed to face the first incident/exit surface and configured to supply light to the first incident/exit surface, and a light receiving device disposed to face the first incident/exit surface and configured to receive light emitted from the first incident/exit surface, the light guiding plate being configured so that the light emitted from the light emitting device enters the light guiding plate, passes through the light guiding plate, and is emitted from the second incident/exit surface, and the light guiding plate being configured so that the light which enters the second incident/exit surface, passes through the light guiding plate emits from the first incident/exit surface is received by the light receiving device.

Abstract: A light emitting device including a blue-system semiconductor light emitting element, a green-system semiconductor light emitting element, a yellow fluorescent member which absorbs a part of blue light from the blue-system semiconductor light emitting element and emits yellow-system light as excitation light, and a red fluorescent member which absorbs a part of green light from the green-system semiconductor light emitting element and emits red-system light as excitation light.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the provision of operator-specific performance features of different mobile radio network operators for a mobile radio customer, whereby the mobile radio customer has a smart card, on which a user relationship for the mobile radio customer with a mobile radio network operator is stored. The method is characterized in that at least two user relationships are defined on the smart card of the mobile radio customer with differing mobile radio call numbers and with independent performance features and a mobile radio network operator is assigned to each user relationship.

Abstract: A planar light source unit including a light guiding plate (1) having an anisotropic diffusing surface (1h) which emits anisotropic diffusion light, and a light emitting source (2) for supplying light to the light guiding plate, the anisotropic diffusing surface being formed into a shape configured to give a gradation of the anisotropic diffusion light intensity.

Abstract: An actuator, comprising at least one beam capable of generating flexural oscillations, at least one pair of electric supply terminals (23, 24) which supply oscillation-inducing electric power to the beam(s), and a holding mechanism which holds the beam(s), the holding mechanism including at least one holding member (12) to hold one portion of the beam(s) and a case (13) jointed to the holding member and configured to contain the beam(s) therein.

Abstract: The alternating current potential drop ACPD technique is used to monitor surface cracks in electrical conductors. At high frequencies, the current flows in a superficial skin layer. Two distinct solutions are currently available for the thin and thick skin cases. However, there is no general solution that bridges these two modes in a seamless fashion. A numerical model is used to analyze the ACPD of a surface crack with uniform depth. A general solution is given that bridges the thin and thick skin solutions, which closely matches the numerical results, irrespective of the skin thickness. Methods for estimating depth of cracks are provided for surface penetrating cracks and back cracks.

Abstract: Tool for mounting a tire onto a rim, suitable for making it easier to insert the bead of the tire under the bead-stopping edge of the rim and inside the channel of the rim itself; said tools comprises a body equipped with a fixed jaw and with a mobile jaw to which actuation means are operatively connected suitable for taking said mobile jaw closer to said fixed jaw to lock said body to the edge of the rim, a base intended to be rested on the sidewall of the tire being associated with said body, said base being fixedly connected to said body so as to be able to oscillate towards the axis of the rim to make it easier to insert the bead inside the bead-stopping edge of the rim.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for on-line sorting of waste matter, at the entrance to a waste processing plant, according to the level of specific chemicals, typically chlorine detected therein. The apparatus comprises a waste matter inlet that provides waste matter to a weighing module, preferably until a preset limit is reached. Then, this control volume of waste is introduced into a pulsed neutron material analyzer that is optimized for the determination of the content of the specific chemical in the control volume. A control means such as a computer then decides whether the level of the chemical in the waste control volume is above or below a preset threshold, and accordingly channels the waste into one or another of two channels. One of these channels accepts waste with low content of the given chemical, for introduction into the waste processing chamber.
