Abstract: In a method and a device for controlling the issuing of advertising messages in a sales facility, wherein boundary condition data such as weather conditions and temperature data are detected by means of detection devices arranged inside and outside the sales facility and correlated with effective quantities of sold products promoted by advertising messages. The issuing of advertising messages is triggered in a targeted manner as a function of the results achieved when the boundary conditions determined to be optimal are occurring.

Abstract: In a computing device and agricultural planning method the computing device receives data indicative of at least one practice associated with growing an agricultural crop. An overall sustainability score is determined for at least one sustainability category by determining an overall level for at least one indicator indicative of the sustainability category. A benchmark score is also determined for the at least one sustainability category by determining a benchmark level corresponding to the at least one indicator. The benchmark level is at least in part a function of the crop, the location of the field in which the crop is planted and the sustainability category. A comparison value of the overall sustainability score to the benchmark score for the at least one sustainability category is determined. An indicator of whether the comparison value is below a predetermined minimum threshold comparison value is output.

Abstract: A holder is provided for releasably securing a flat device, such as a tablet computer or a smartphone, to a component, in particular a component of a motor vehicle. The holder comprises a mounting which can be secured to the component and a holder frame which can be releasably secured to the mounting for receiving the device. The mounting comprises a carrier having first connection elements, and the holder frame has second connection elements at two opposite edges. The first and second connection elements are designed in a complementary manner with respect to each other such that the first and second connection elements interlock for the purpose of mutual fixing when the holder frame is inserted into the mounting such that the holder frame cannot be moved out of the mounting in the holder frame plane and/or perpendicularly to the holder frame plane.

Abstract: A damping component (30) is disposable between a base component (42) and a panel component (10) attachable thereto. The panel component has an edge flange (12) ending in an edge (14) configured to be disposed adjacent to an opposing surface of the base component. The damping component comprises a body (32) disposable in a space defined between the base component and the panel component when the base component is attached to the panel component. The damping component further comprises a lip (34) extending from the body. The lip is disposable at least partially between the edge of the panel component and the opposing surface of the base component. Further, the lip is configured to prevent the edge of the panel component from directly contacting the base component when the base component is attached to the panel component.

Abstract: A window regulator includes at least one rail and at least one movable carriage for attachment to a movable window, each movable carriage movably attached to a respective rail for movement along the rail. A driving mechanism is attached to the movable carriage for moving the movable carriage along the rail in a regulated manner. An adjustable stop is attached to the rail, the adjustable stop positioned to engage a portion of the respective movable carriage/window assembly attached to that rail, to prevent further movement of the movable carriage/window assembly in one direction.
