Abstract: A bottle carrier is configured to carry plural crown-cap bottles having a collared neck by their neck. The bottle carrier comprises a plurality of bottle holders connected to each other for each holding a crown-cap bottle along an axis of extension, wherein the connection of the bottle holders may be formed as a frame or a backbone. Each bottle holder comprises at least three resilient arms defining a holding space and configured to engage and hold the neck of the bottle and to support the bottle by the collar. The arms are further arranged to provide the bottle neck access into the holding space in radial direction, and to provide an effectively radially inward holding force onto the bottle neck.

Abstract: The embodiments simulate an experience of comfort in a room. A digital model A is created of the room and indoor and/or outdoor conditions YR, XR which act on the room are defined. A first experience of comfort KR is calculated for at least one location within the room. A test environment includes at least one actuator that acts on a subject. The state XMR of the at least one actuator is changed such that a second experience of comfort KMR of the subject in the test environment substantially corresponds to the first experience of comfort KR at the one location within the room.

Abstract: The invention pertains to surface topographies which can be used to modulate the morphology, proliferation, biochemical functioning, differentiation, attachment, migration, signaling, and/or cell death of a cell population by physical stimulation. Such topographies can be applied in vitro and in vivo to modulate cell behavior. Specific examples include implants provided with a topography of the invention which regulates the immune response, or an implant which increases osteogenesis. The invention furthermore pertains to objects which are used in vitro to modulate cell behavior.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Rubus plant named ‘JdeBoer19’ that is characterized by its fruit production on primocanes, its compact plant habit, its abundance of fruit with a sweet taste, and its canes with minimal thorns.

Abstract: There is provided a laminating system (30) comprising a laminating module (200) and a transportation module (100) wherein the transportation module (100) is arranged to automatically drive the laminating module (200) over a surface (10) to be laminated. Here the surface (10) to be laminated is large and maintained substantially stationary. The transportation module (100) includes a retaining means and a drive means. The retaining means resists movement of the laminating module (200) relative to the surface (10) except when the laminating module is driven by the drive means. The laminating module (200) includes an unwind unit (210) adapted to receive a roll of laminate (20). The laminate (20) comprises an adhesive film and first release layer. The unwind unit (210) is adapted to allow the laminate to be unwound from the roll. A first release layer discard unit is provided. The first release layer discard unit is adapted to remove the first release layer from the laminate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to advanced flame/fire retardant compositions for fabric, upholstery, carpet, barrier, automotive, building construction, communication, and consumer electronics applications. The flame retardant composition comprises: about 5-25 wt. % hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer, about 6-40 wt. % polyolefin, about 50-80 wt. % inorganic flame retardant, about 0-5 wt. % coating, about 0-5 wt. % functionalized styrenic block copolymer, about 0-7 wt. % agri-derived heat resistant liquid, about 0.05-1.0 wt. % antioxidant, and about 0-7 wt. % optional additives such as metal deactivator, colorant, filler, and/or lubricants, wherein said composition totals 100 wt. %. An article made from the flame retardant composition, such as film, fiber, cable, and wire insulation meets various European and U.S. standards. The flame retardant compositions possess a good balance of tensile strength, elongation, flame resistance, and processability that has previously been unobtainable.
