Abstract: A device may obtain a set of communication messages, wherein the set of communication messages is associated with communications between a plurality of operational technology (OT) devices across a plurality of OT control layers of an OT environment. The device may determine whether each communication message, of the set of communication messages, is a request message or a response message and thereby determine whether at least one communication message has a communication message match. The device may generate, based on determining whether the at least one communication message has a communication match, one or more communication entries, wherein a communication entry, of the one or more communication entries, includes message header information of a request message of the set of communication messages. The device may cause, based on the one or more communication entries, one or more actions to be performed.

Abstract: The solution of the current invention supports gathering information about language need of the user. For this an application runs on a Mobile Device, and as it is connected to a central server over a private network, a public network or over the internet, it can send the information about the language need. With the help of this solution mobile device users can submit language requests for a new language related to a certain mobile device application that does not support the given language and the user would like that application to be available on that language.

Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for supporting higher level customization and/or personalization of use of Communications Devices or Mobile Computing Devices.

Abstract: A USB type A male connector at one end of a length of a 4 wire shielded cable, that connects to the USB port (on all computers which include USB ports) On the other end a USB type A female connector is serially connected to a USB type A male connector, that is serially connected to a USB type B male connector, and that is serially connected to a USB type Mini A male connector ending the assembly. The organization of the serially connected USB connectors can be mixed in any way like starting with a B male connector connecting to an A female connecting to an A male connector or any mixture of above.

Abstract: An apparatus for examining the electrochemical effects of (in vivo) metal implants causing allergic symptoms and/or inflamation in living organism, the apparatus containing two probes and a signal processing circuit connected thereto. One of the probes is a reference electrode (1) provided with reference electrolyte (34), which is connected to the soma tissue near the implant while the other probe is a measuring electrode (2) provided with a metal contact tip (6) to be contacted with the implant. The reference electrode (1) and the measuring electrode (2) are connected through an amplifier (20, 27) to one of the inputs of a comparing unit (22, 28). The other input of the comparing unit (22, 28) is connected the output of a memory (24, 30) containing data concerning the metal to be examined, and one of the outputs of the comparing unit (22, 28) is connected the display for the measured data (11).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the treatment of sowing-seeds of field plants in order to increase the reliability of crop yield and to improve the biological properties of the plants emerged. According to the invention the seeds are treated prior to sowing with a neutral or nearly neutral aqueous solution containing an effective amount of a gibberelline derivative GA.sub.3 and/or GA.sub.7, boron and potassium. The treatment takes generally 3-4 hours.The invention also relates to a composition applicable in the above process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for developing photographic film and paper. A plurality of storage tanks flow by gravity into a common manifold. The manifold directs the fluid flow to a rotating drum assembly. After mixing, the fluid flows into a catch basin and, further, into one of a plurality of drain tanks. Electronic control circuitry is also disclosed.

Abstract: From 5 to 35%, preferably 10 to 30%, by volume of hydrocarbon gases may be incorporated as a diluent into carbon dioxide-containing gas injected during secondary exploitation of oil reservoirs. The reservoir pressure is maintained at 100 to 120 atm., respectively, up to 250 atm. The preferred range is 120 to 200 atm. The hydrocarbon gases may be added to the carbon dioxide-containing gas prior to injection and/or use may be made of ambient hydrocarbon gases present in the reservoir. The optimum gas injection rate is 40-80 m.sup.3 /day/m of formation.

Abstract: Subject of the invention is a process for the production of steels having low carbon content wherein oxygen is blowing under vacuum, the carbon end point and blow temperature are controlled, the tapping of the steels is followed by slag skimming, heating, refining under vacuum, then finishing and casting, where the oxygen is admitted into the melt through blow lance, the units of the system are water cooled and the generating flue gases are discharged from the system. According to the process of the invention the melt is flushed over with argon from underneath during the admission of the oxygen from the top through the blow lance; the composition, temperature and quantity of the emerging flue gases, as well as the temperature and quantity of the admitted and discharged cooling water are continuously measured, the argon intensity is controlled accordingly and the manipulations and technological steps are carried out according to the obtained measuring results.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for measuring surface temperature of especially moving objects, advantageously measuring the temperature of fibrous products, and particularly of wires during production. The essence of the method lies in that two concentric shells not being contiguous with either the object to be measured or with one another are fitted to the object to be measured, temperature is sensed in the two end locations and in the central region of the inner shell, and in the central region of the outer shell, these values are brought to be equal to the value measured in the central region of the inner shell by dissipation or by heat transfer (heating), then temperature is measured in the central region of the inner shell. The essence of the apparatus lies in that it comprises two concentric shells separated from one another, an inner sensing and an outer compensating shell, being provided with heated surfaces, and dissipating elements, respectively.
