Abstract: A filter assembly (10) for fluids, comprising a generally cylindrical container (3), a cylindrical filter cartridge (4) housed inside said container (3) and a closing cover (1) with centering means (11) of the filter cartridge (4) on the bottom of the container. The centering of the cartridge (4) during its assembling is ensured by an annular centering member (9) disposed on the outer surface of the filter cartridge (4) and cooperating with engagement means (31) formed on the inner surface of the container (3). The seal between the container (3) and the cover (1) is formed by a member (13) overmoulded to the upper edge of the container (3).

Abstract: A control device for rotating a tube supporting a roller member to be wound onto or unwound from the tube has at least one electric motor housed in the tube and drive mechanism for transmitting the motion from the motor to the supporting tube. The motor is an electric three phase motor having at least four poles. The drive mechanism preferably has a single-stage mechanical reduction gear such as a planocentric reduction gear.

Abstract: A private message, formed generally by an e-mail manager or browser, has a privacy attribute. The private message with the privacy attribute is transmitted to a receiver where only certain permitted message processing, called private message processing, may be performed in response to the detection of the privacy attribute. For example, in response to a received privacy attribute only three message processing functions in the receiver of the message are activated, namely message reading, reply to addressee, and delete. Other edit and re-transmit functions which may exist with an e-mail manager or browser at the receiver are disabled in response to the privacy attribute so that the private message cannot be edited and retransmitted. Likewise, the message cannot be stored external from the e-mail manager or browser.

Abstract: An outdoor assembly exposed to rain water has an enclosure and a cover. A first mounting means for the cover installs the cover to form a barrier to rain water for the enclosure rendering it drip proof or water proof. A second mounting means for the cover on the enclosure installs the cover to form a rain shield for the enclosure. The first mounting means allows opening or rotation of the cover about a vertical axis thus allowing access to the enclosure. The second mounting means releasingly engages the cover with respect to the enclosure generally at a right angle to the vertical direction, thus providing a rain shield for the enclosure.
