Abstract: A system for providing centralized connected vehicle services includes a vehicle communicating through a communications device that is a wireless access device embedded within the vehicle and/or a mobile wireless access device, the communications device transmitting at least one of language data from the vehicle indicating a language spoken by a customer within the vehicle and a voice call from the wireless access device. A central call center is communicatively connected to at least one of the vehicle and the wireless access device. A central computer server is co-located with the central call center, communicatively connected to the central call center, facilitates the voice call with the wireless access device, and automatically routes the voice call to the central call center. The central call center automatically plays a recorded message through the central computer server to the wireless access device in the language of the customer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multifunctional protein production tags comprising at least 4, preferably 4-8 amino acids, for optimising expression of proteins and purification thereof by various multi-step processes including chromatographic or filtration, as well as batch unit operations. The tags include sequences of multiple defined purposes which are not generated in defined linear sequence regions related to one purpose but as integrated sequences often overlapping each other, i.e. the defined purposes are not discrete separate units on the tag but rather heterogeneously distributed in the tag. The invention also relates to an expression vector encoding the multipurpose tag and a method for protein purification, comprising expressing a protein in the expression vector and purifying the protein in several steps using functionalities of the multipurpose tag.

Abstract: A rotatable tool for chip removing machining, including a basic body having front and rear ends between which a first center axis (C1) extends, with which an envelope surface is concentric and around which the basic body is rotatable; and a loose top that includes front and rear ends between which a second center axis (C2) extends with which an envelope surface is concentric. The front end of the basic body includes a jaw which is delimited by two torque-transferring drivers and an intermediate bottom in which a rear coupling part of the loose top is receivable, and a center hole that mouths in the intermediate bottom. The center hole has a hole wall which extends axially inside the basic body and in which a threaded hole being concentric with a third center axis (C3) mouths for a screw to co-operate with a centric pin which protrudes axially rearward from the coupling part. The centric pin is insertable into the center hole, and the threaded hole is accessible from the outside of the basic body.

Abstract: A support pad intended for metal machining drills and of the type that includes an outer surface, an inner surface, front and rear end surfaces, as well as a pair of spaced-apart side surfaces, between the outer surface and at least the front end surface a convexly arched entering surface being formed that extends between, on one hand, a pair of front and rear borderlines, the rear one of which borders the outer surface, and, on the other hand, two tangentially spaced-apart side borderlines. The rear borderline of the entering surface has the shape of a convex arc line as viewed in planar view toward the outer surface, more precisely an arc line the crest of which is facing forward. In such a way, the position of the contact of the support pad with a hole wall can be predetermined in an exact way. The drill body may be equipped with one or more support pads.

Abstract: A rotary disc filter device includes a rotary drum and one or more disc-shaped filter members secured about the drum. Each disc-shaped filter member includes a filter disposed on opposite sides thereof and each disc-shaped filter member includes a modular frame made up, in part at least, by a series of interconnected modules. One module of the modular filter frame includes a base that is secured to the rotary drum and a support projecting outwardly from the base. A series of these modules are interconnected to form a modular filter frame.

Abstract: A two-pass, loop flow heat exchanger includes an inlet plenum that receives a fluid to be cooled, a housing, a plurality of inlet flow passages substantially centrally positioned within the housing and having a first end fluidly coupled to the inlet plenum to receive the fluid, a turnaround plenum fluidly coupled to a second end of the inlet flow passages for reversing the flow of the fluid, a plurality of outlet flow passages peripherally positioned within the housing and having a first end fluidly coupled to the turnaround plenum, and an outlet plenum fluidly coupled to a second end of the outlet flow passages to present the fluid.

Abstract: A device for chip forming machining including first and second rotatable bodies arranged along a common axis of rotation. The first body forms a male element, and the second body forms a female element into which the male element is threaded for forming a threaded joint. The male element has an outer circumferential area displaced in the axial direction in relation to the thread thereof and which engages a corresponding inner circumferential area of the female element by a press-fit. One or both of those circumferential areas has an out-of-roundness, such that there occurs a press-fit along two or more preselected regions in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A rotary disk filter and a module for building a filter support for a rotary disk filter are disclosed. The rotary disk filter may comprise a drum, which is rotatable about its central longitudinal axis. The rotary disk filter may be adapted to receive a liquid which is to be filtered. In one implementation, the rotary disk filter may comprise at least one disk-shaped filter member which on the outside of the drum extends outwards in the transverse direction of the drum, and which has a filter support and at least one filter portion supported thereby. A first liquid duct may extend from the drum through the filter member and out through the filter portion. The filter portion may be made of filter segments, which are detachably secured to the filter support. At least one second liquid duct may extend between adjoining filter segments to provide liquid communication between the filter segments.

Abstract: A deep hole drill is rotatable around a geometric axis and includes a body defining a through-channel arranged for internal chip evacuation. The channel opens in front and rear ends of the body. One or more cutting edges are made integrally with the rest of the body, more precisely from a hard material, such as cemented carbide or CERMET. A front bridge of the body extends across the front channel and possesses the integral cutting edge(s).

Abstract: A drilling tool for drilling in metals has in its front part cutting insert-carrying cartridges, for instance 3, 5 or 7 in number. The peripheral cartridge (6) carries a peripheral cutting insert (7). This peripheral cartridge is fastened in the drill by a locking screw (16) that extends in a slot (17) in the drillhead. Radially inside of the peripheral cartridge is a wedge (15) which can be displaced axially and thereby regulate the radial position of the peripheral cartridge and cutting insert and, thereby, the cutting diameter. When the desired radial adjustment has been attained, the peripheral cutting insert is fixed by the locking screw (16). In this way, a very exact adjustment of the cutting diameter is obtained.

Abstract: A drill includes support pads for supporting and guiding the drill in the drill hole. The support pads are formed as parallelepiped-shaped cemented carbide bodies which each have two wing-shaped protrusions on their longitudinal sides. In a corresponding way, the drill head of the drill includes recesses with two bulged parts on the long sides. This gives the support pad a determined axial position and strengthens the support pad at the weakening caused by the central hole. Further, the support pad can be turned half a revolution if one of its ends becomes damaged since the end spaces do not have to function as abutment surfaces.
