Abstract: A manually operated demand delivery liquid pump dispensing device, includes: —a container (2) to be filled with a storage (20) of the liquid to be dispensed and with air inside the container, said container comprising a bottom part (6), a top part (5), and a side wall (7) between said bottom part and said top part, and a lid (3) which seals an opening (4) in the top part of the container, usable for filling the container, said lid being provided on the upper side thereof with a shallow basin (15), including, in the centre thereof, a concave dish-shaped cavity (21) and a discharge opening in the region of said dish-shaped cavity of the lid, and with a tube (22) for supplying liquid to said concave dish-shaped cavity from said storage of liquid which may be contained in the container.

Abstract: A method and system for acquiring knowledge of proximity of an electronic device by another device for the purposes of establishing communication therewith. The knowledge of proximity of one electronic device is acquired by the other device through detection of spacial and temporal positioning and/or movement of one device with respect to the other device.

Abstract: A laptop computer support platform for resting a portable personal computer on. The computer support platform having a non-rigid base structure having one or several risers to establish an air gap between the non-rigid base and the laptop computer. The air gap acts as an insulating medium and contributes to a thermal cooling effect of the laptop computer.

Abstract: A method and a system for establishing communication among a plurality of network connected devices which are unaware of network and service addresses. The direct communication is facilitated by a network connected server device providing a common platform for a plurality of requesting devices to request a plurality of target devices by any means of initiation for a plurality of service attributes. The network connected server device has an intermediary function to make the system compatible with all means of initiation and wherein it is absent in service level communication of the devices.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a laptop computer support platform for resting a portable personal computer on. The supporting platform comprising a non rigid base structure having one or several risers to establish an air gap between the non rigid base and the laptop computer. The air gap between the non rigid base and laptop act as an insulating medium and contributes to a thermal cooling effect of the laptop computer. The riser/risers may have a rough texture and/or a non-skid material to further limit motion of the laptop computer. The non rigid base act as a barrier to heat transfered from the lower end of the portable personal computer to the surface underneath. Further, one or several designated insulation materials may be adhered underneath or inside the non rigid base to enforce the heat barrier as well as creating a more comfortable and ergonomically operating position.
