Abstract: Isocyanurate-reactive mixture obtained by reacting an anhydride and a polyol; process for making it; polyisocyanate composition comprising this mixture; binder composition comprising such a polyisocyanate composition; the use of such a polyisocyanate composition and/or binder composition for making a polyisocyanurate and such polyisocyanurates.

Abstract: An accessory device and a handheld device may be synchronized by forming a communication link between the handheld device and the accessory device. The handheld device includes a plurality of functions and the accessory device is configured to operate a subset of the plurality of functions. Each of the plurality of functions of the handheld device includes executable program code, content data files and functional setting information. The executable program code, content data files and functional setting information is transferred for at least one of the plurality of functions of the handheld device to the accessory device. The communication link between the handheld device and the accessory device is disconnected. The subset of the plurality of functions is operated on the accessory device using the transferred executable program code, content data files and functional setting information from the handheld device after disconnecting the communication link between the handheld device and the accessory device.

Abstract: A personal listening device, such as an earbud or earphone, includes a housing, a speaker in the housing to provide sound output and a sensor to detect mechanical input applied to the housing, such as tapping or squeezing, to provide a desired signal and/or function response and method. The speaker may be used as the sensor along with a filter to sense the expected mechanical inputs while separating other sounds normally produced by the speaker.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metallurgical ladle and more particularly to the bottom of the ladle having an outlet through which the molten metal can drain. An object of the present invention is to increase the efficiency of a ladle draining operation, including reducing the amount of discarded metal, avoiding the premature flow of slag through the outlet, and reducing the contamination of slag in the molten metal effluent. The ladle bottom comprises a plurality of terraces and flow channels, ultimately directing the stream of molten metal to an outlet of the ladle. The terraces are described as capturing slag and the channels permit molten metal to flow preferentially through the outlet.

Abstract: A projection device, wherein light (12) emitted from a light source system (1), is split in different colors (13-14-15), in particular primary colors, and subsequently is transmitted to respective light valves, said light source system (1) comprising:

Abstract: System for controlling vehicles in a traffic network. The vehicles (4) comprise communication means (5), for communication, via a communication network (2), with a service mediator system (1), linking the vehicle's communication means to various servers (9a . . . i). The vehicle may comprise means (6) for exchanging data between the vehicles' software or hardware, while at least one of said servers comprises means for processing said data related to the vehicles' software or hardware, like fuel consumption and the vehicles' maintenance state. The vehicle's communication means may comprise location means, enabled for exchanging data relative to the vehicles' location to be used for planning and scheduling the use of the vehicles, route planning, billing vehicle related tax or insurance. One or more servers may be enabled to process requests for vehicle parking or for hiring alternative transportation room or means. One server may be enabled for automatic processing vehicle accidents.

Abstract: Information system for a traffic network (1). Information of importance to travellers is transmitted by a transmitter system (3) to data receivers (pagers) in vehicles (2) making use of the traffic network. The traffic network is broken down into information regions (6). The transmitter system transmits information modules (5) which each relate to an information region and which are characterised by a region-identification code (ID1, ID2 etc.). The information system comprises means for transmitting, upon entry by a vehicle of an information region, to the data receiver in said vehicle the region-identification code of said region, the data receiver setting itself using said region-identification code for receiving information characterised by said region-information code, transmitted by the transmitter system. The region-identification code in the data receiver may be set using regional or local beacon transmitters (4) which transmit one or two region-identification codes.

Abstract: A touch screen 1111 having an active surface area 1112 which extends in three physical dimensions (x-, y- and z-dimensions) is provided. In the figure the active surface area has an U-shaped form. When a user slides his finger over the active surface area the tactile feedback gives him information about the position of the finger. The touch screen is activated when the active surface area senses a certain pressure from the finger. The use of the touch screen is facilitated especially when the user is on the move or when the touch screen is out of sight. Such use is common when operating hand-held terminals.

Abstract: Known tags which are capable of receiving and demodulating signals by way of one and the same antenna and by way of one and the same diode, as well as being capable of modulating and transmitting signals, often have a poor efficiency, particularly if the antenna is implemented in the form of a flat plate. By coupling a high-ohm first terminal of the antenna to the diode, and coupling a low-ohm second terminal to earth by way of an inductive element, there is obtained a tag which has a good efficiency, both regarding the reception and demodulation of signals and regarding the modulation and transmission of signals.

Abstract: A new class of amino-imide compounds is disclosed in which a 2-oxo-cycloalkylimide group and an amino group are joined by a chain containing acetylenic unsaturation. The compounds are effective to antagonize the tremorogenic effect of oxotremorine and possess valuable pharmaceutical properties due to a strong central anti-cholinergic effect.
