Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for erecting part of a container, specifically containers referred to as “trays” in the art. The method includes using a mandrel to fold four walls (14, 16) of the container (12) but return side walls (16) to a slanted, lower intermediate position relative to upstanding end walls (14), so that a finger (30) can pivot to fold a pillar (24) from an end (26) of an extension (20) of the end walls (14) and retract over the side walls (16), before a pressing element (36) raises the intermediately positioned side walls (16) to upstanding positions where they are attached to the pillars.

Abstract: A method for fabricating an insulated system such as, for instance, an insulated window unit, includes introducing an insulating material between adjacent walls and stabilizing the system. Particulate insulators preferably are introduced in the system by filling an expanded internal volume. Stabilization of the system can be carried out by reducing the pressure within the internal volume. A stabilized insulated system is fabricated by introducing an insulating material between adjacent walls and stabilizing the system. Also disclosed are processes and equipment for filling insulated systems, such as fenestration units, and insulated systems comprising mixed insulating materials.

Abstract: Systems and methods (“utility”) for providing Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capabilities for wind turbines are disclosed. The utility includes a directly connected synchronous generator (214) that is designed to have a high dynamic pull-out torque. To remain connected to the power grid (224) during low voltage events, the utility boosts the excitation current applied to the rotor of the synchronous generator (214). Further, the utility may include a torque regulator in the form of d torque-regulating gearbox (210), which in turn includes adjustable guide vanes (624) that may be positioned to reduce the amount of mechanical torque applied to the rotor shaft of the synchronous generator (224) during low voltage events. Additionally, the utility may also include a braking system (206) and a pitch control system (234) to limit the acceleration of the wind rotor (202) shaft during low voltage events.

Abstract: An electronic equipment is provided that includes access to a playlist, the content of which identifies a plurality of media objects, and a media player section configured to play the plurality of media objects identified in the playlist in an order. In addition, the electronic equipment includes a shuffler section for altering at least one of the order in which the plurality of media objects in the playlist are played by the media player, or the content of the playlist, in response to a shuffle command. The electronic equipment further includes a motion sensor that detects motion of the electronic equipment, the motion sensor producing an output based on detected motion from which the shuffle command is derived.

Abstract: A method for testing cleaning effect of a compound or compositions is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) Preparing a liquid sample of less than 10 ml comprising the test compound, (b) applying liquid sample to a stained surface, (c) applying mechanical stress to the stained surface by contacting it with a body present in the liquid sample, (d) evaluating the cleaning effect of applying solution and mechanical stress on the stained surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring electric components, in particular for the high-frequency measurement of said components. The invention is characterized by the use of contact elements that can be displaced between an initial position and a measuring position. In the latter, the respective contact elements lie against a stop of the component and a measuring contact. Said contact elements are retained in supports including electrically insulated material.

Abstract: A cell system has one or multiple burstable enclosures or closed cells which contain an active composition, such as a fluid or solid (including powdered) product, preferably a liquid product, which is released therefrom when the enclosures or closed cells are ruptured. Each enclosure or cell is provided with a flow control which controls the direction and flow of the composition outwardly of the enclosure or cell when the enclosure or cell is ruptured. The flow control is formed by a film covering one side of an enclosure or cell with the film having a cut-out portion forming a flow control window. The composition can be a face cleaning lotion or cream, a disinfectant, a household cleaning composition, a perfume, a polish or a medicament.
