Abstract: In a method for detecting the state of dialling a codenumber a number already dialled digits (Nx) is counted and is compared with a defined number of digits to be dialled. If this number is reached, a timer (Tx) is started and during the runtime of the timer it is detected whether further digits are dialled. If further digits are dialled the timer is restated at every detection. If no further digit is detected, after time out of the timer a query is launched. Alternatively after launching a first query it is possible to analyse the already dialled number of digits and to define a number of digits to be dialled. If then this number is reached a timer is started and the further method is processed.

Abstract: In order to permit easy and hygienic disposal of e.g. sanitary towels in a cloakroom, a bag retainer can be fitted on the wall, and a bag (4) can be hung on the retainer. The retainer comprises a traversing resilient carrier rail (3) on which a bag is hung (4) which is provided with a flap (5) at its mouth and which is downwardly open and designed to fit the reception of the carrier rail (3). The flap (5) and the carrier rail (3) have sloping side edges (7, 8) and are dimensioned so as to allow the bag to slide further down over the carrier rail (3) once the bag is stretched lengthwise with a view to keeping the rim stretched and the bag closed.When the mouth of the bag is to be opened, one pulls out the uttermost part of the mouth, and when the bag is to be closed, one lets go of the mouth part whereby the resilient carrier rail will close the mouth of the bag.

Abstract: In order to store liquid in a foil bag with no risk that liquid leaks from the bag, the bag is provided with a valve in the inlet channel (5). The valve consists of two valve flaps (8) formed by the foil by folding and at their sides being welded together in a weld seam (2) for the formation of the channel (5) extending from the outside to the inside of the bag. The weld seam (2) is at its center provided with a further welding in the shape of an extension (3) forming a narrowing in the cross section of the channel (5). When liquid is poured into the bag liquid will also flow into the hollow space between the outer foil (1) and the flap (8). Water will hereby distend these closed hollow spaces (7) and thereby press the flaps (8) against each other. This means that no liquid will escape through the flaps, and due to the narrowing in the channel the pressure creating the closure will be greatest opposite the narrowings (3 ).

Abstract: In a dental apparatus, in which each of a number of instruments is controlled by a control circuit common to the instruments, which are connected with a common operator unit having a control member which is movable in planar directions out of a home position, auxiliary functions not related to the instrument operation may be carried out by means of the common operator unit by switching the apparatus to a second mode of operation, when all the instruments assume respective resting positions in an instrument carrier. Moreover, also auxiliary functions directly related to the instrument operation may be carried out by the common operator unit in a first mode of operation by actuating the control member thereof with a movement different from the instrument energizing movement. The movement for energizing such an auxiliary function may have another direction and/or a shorter duration than the instrument energizing movement.
