Abstract: A motor device for an electric bicycle may include an electric motor, a first connector unit, and/or a second connector unit. The electric motor may include an axis of rotation. The first connector unit may include a first motor connector and a first connecting part. The first connecting part may surround the first motor connector regionally and/or outwardly. The first connector unit may be mounted on the electric motor and may be electrically conductively connected to the electric motor via the first motor connector. The second connector unit may include a second motor connector and a second connecting part. An electrical conductive connection may be established and released directly between the first motor connector and the second motor connector.

Abstract: A process for preparing a particulate dairy composition is provided, which comprises (a) combining condensed skimmed milk, sucrose, milk cream and milk powder to prepare a pre-emulsion containing 46-66 wt. % dry matter; (b) homogenizing the pre-emulsion; (c) spray drying the emulsion to produce a semi-dried powder having a water content of at least 5 wt. % water; and (d) agglomerating and further drying the semi-dried powder to produce agglomerates having a water content of less than 5 wt. % water. The process yields a particulate dairy composition that is particularly suitable for use in creamer capsules. Particulate dairy compositions are also disclosed, comprising (A) 77.5-100 wt. % of agglomerates containing, calculated by dry weight of the agglomerates: (i) 15-29 wt. % of milk protein; (ii) 8-33 wt. % of milk fat; (iii) 18-47 wt. % of lactose; and (iv) 7-18 wt. % of sucrose; and (B) 0-22.5 wt. % of sucrose particles, wherein the composition has a poured bulk density of 380-550 g/l.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealed capsule for use in a coffee brewing apparatus, the capsule comprising a particulate composition comprising: (a) 8-32 wt. % fat; (b) 15-29 wt. % milk protein; (c) 40-60 wt. % of disaccharide, comprising, by weight of the disaccharide, (i) 46-78 wt. % lactose; and (ii) 22-54 wt. % sucrose. The capsules according to the present invention offer the advantage that the particulate composition contained therein is essentially fully converted into a hot creamy and/or milky liquid with excellent foaming properties, mouthfeel, whitening power and taste.

Abstract: A telecommunication system comprising an access network (EDGE) to which a plurality of subscribers (USERS) are coupled, interconnected with a core network (CORE) to which several network service providers (NSP) are coupled. The system further comprises a primary tier broadband remote access server (T1_BRAS) interfacing the access and the core networks, and a secondary tier broadband remote access server (T2_BRAS) located closer to the subscribers. In this system, when subscribers want to be connected to service providers, the secondary tier server sends (S1) the upstream traffic from the subscribers towards the primary tier server. The primary tier server then classifies these incoming flows into session aggregations on basis of a local algorithm. Finally, the primary tier server signals (S2) to the secondary tier server to aggregate predetermined incoming flows into communication pipes according to the session aggregations.

Abstract: A device for discharging powdery or granular material comprises a plurality of inclined parallel plates reciprocably mounted relative to a base member and is adapted to release the powdery or granular material when the parallel plates are moved relative to the base member.

Abstract: Method of measuring shearing stress of powdery and/or granular material using a pair of cylindrical cavities filled with the material. The cavities are turned one relative the other about a common center line with the shear stress required to turn the cavities being measured.
