Abstract: A fire resistant cabinet has a housing delimiting an interior space for accommodating a sanitizer container holding a flammable liquid. The wall of the housing comprises at least one exterior shell part made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of melamine resin, corian or fiber-reinforced concrete.

Abstract: A filtering receptacle (1) for a solid flavour base is dimensioned to fit inside a pot (23) of a French press (24). The filtering receptacle (1) has a circumferential central wall part (3) that extends upwards from a bottom wall part (4) and terminates in a free edge (5) of a circumferential upper wall part (2) opposite the bottom wall part (4), which free edge (5) delimits an opening (6) for adding the solid flavour base to the filtering receptacle (1).

Abstract: Male subjects having an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease are identified by determining a fraction of cells that have lost chromosome Y in a biological sample obtained from the male subject. The fraction is compared to a predefined threshold and the male subject is predicted to have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease based on the comparison between the fraction and the predefined threshold.

Abstract: Male subjects having an increased risk of developing cancer are identified by determining a fraction of cells that have lost chromosome Y in a biological sample obtained from the male subject. The fraction is compared to a predefined threshold and the male subject is predicted to have an increased risk of developing cancer based on the comparison between the fraction and the predefined threshold.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for motivating or prompting persons to wash hands. The system includes a sensor for detecting use of a toilet or a urinal, which sensor creates a first signal indicative of that use, and a signaling arrangement for issuing in response to the first signal at least one second signal reminding or prompting the person to use a cleansing agent dispenser.

Abstract: A glove for removing detachable material from an object such as a vegetable, e.g., for removing the skin of a potato. The glove is either knitted or twilled of at least one thread of at least one elastic, plastic material. The glove is manufactured by providing the at least one plastic material, knitting or twilling the glove, and finally heat treating the glove to cure the texture of the glove to a predetermined surface hardness depending on the object from which detachable material is to be removed.

Abstract: An extendible crane boom comprises a number of telescopic boom sections, which are each composed of a tube and a holder mounted at an outer end of the tube and serving as an attachment for a double-acting hydraulic cylinder which serves to displace the individual telescopic boom section out of or into an immediately preceding boom section so as to extend and shorten, respectively, the crane boom in its entirety. The cylinder part (7) of each hydraulic cylinder is connected to the holder via a coupling comprising a screw joint having several screws, and a pair of cooperating male and female members (11, 9), one of which has a part-spherical surface (18) which faces the other and which, when the screw joint is but loosely tightened, allows adjusting the cylinder part into a desired, correct working position in relation to the holder, in which position the screw joint (13) is finally tightened.

Abstract: An extendible crane boom comprises, in addition to a tubular base boom section (1), a plurality of boom sections (2, 3, 4, 5) telescopically within the base boom section and each composed of a tube and a holder (8, 8', 8", 8"') mounted at an outer end thereof for connecting the tube to a double-acting hydraulic cylinder (9, 9', 9", 9"') with a view to displacing each boom section out of and into an immediately preceding boom section so as to lengthen and shorten, respectively, the crane boom in its entirety. The third and fourth hydraulic cylinders (9", 9"') are located in a first plane which is parallel to the longitudinal extent of the boom and located inwardly of a second plane, in which the first and second hydraulic cylinders (9, 9') are located. This minimizes the overall height of the outermost telescopic boom sections (4, 5), counted as the center distance between the telescopic tube concerned and the associated hydraulic cylinder.
