Abstract: A multi-electrode having a first electrode material and a second electrode material, the first electrode material being functionable by a first electrochemical mechanism, and the second electrode material being functionable by a second electrochemical mechanism that is different from the first electrochemical mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparation of polyethylene-cork composite panels comprising the steps of: mixing 10-64% of cork granulate and 36-90% of polyethylene granulate at room temperature, and feeding a press with this mixture; compressing this mixture in the press with a compression force in the range of 300-450 kN, at a temperature in the range of 160-200° C. and for a hot compression time between 24-180 seconds; and cooling to room temperature, with a compression force between 350-450 kN, for a cold compression time between 32 and 240 seconds; to obtain panels with a thickness between 3 and 5 mm. The invention further relates to a polyethylene-cork composite panel and also to use thereof in the construction industry, particularly as cover board core.

Abstract: A system applied to patch panels having pairs of ports to be interconnected by the insertion of connectors provided at each end of a patch cord and carrying a passive NFC identification tag and containing a unique identity of the patch cord. A tracking module associated to each patch panel and connected to a controller device and comprising an NFC antenna associated with each panel port and a reader for processing and storing the signals that each antenna picks up from the identification tag of a connector inserted in the respective panel port. Each tracking module carries a light indicator, indicating the connection status of each port, and a button for registering the patch panel in the controller device having its operation managed, in accordance with a programmed interconnection layout, by a server.

Abstract: An aerial cable spacer is provided with a cable retainer and vertically disposed strengthening tabs or ribs. The cable retainer includes a cable retaining arm. A mid portion of the cable retaining arm has a non-rectangular plus “+” shaped cross section. The plus “+” shaped cross section engages and exerts a force on the cable as the cable retaining arm bends to a closed position. The arm is flexible so as to create a resilient force in conjunction with the plus “+” shaped cross section to securely hold the cable on a cable seat of a main body portion of the aerial cable spacer. A pawl is carried on the arm at a predetermined orientation to engage a corresponding set of teeth on the spacer body for enhanced cable clamping force.
